Where on earth have I been hiding away? This is the eighth of the Robert Hunter novels by Chris Carter and only the first one I've picked up. In fact, it's the first one I've even heard of, and I love a great crime thriller so I'm somewhat bemused as to how the previous 7 books have escaped my radar, especially being a book blogger and all! Anyway, that aside, this is the newest in the series and it's completely worth a read; I loved it!
The story starts with our first character, Tanya Kaitlin, stepping fresh out of the shower and she receives a video call from her best friend Karen which is set to blow her world apart. On the phone is Karen but also a masked man who tells her if she can get two questions right about her best friend then she will live, but if she gets them wrong, Karen will die! Initially she thinks this is a prank but she soon realises that this is no game. It's up to detectives Hunter and Garcia to investigate but this isn't just one isolated incident, it soon becomes apparent that LA has a serial-killer on the loose!
I was gripped by this book, though the killings themselves are quite graphically described so it's not for the faint-hearted. Also, you won't guess the killer which isn't a good or bad thing but if you think you know who it is, trust me, you don't!
I'm now off to get the previous 7 books in the series, I hope that they are as good!
Happy Reading
