I really love this series featuring Detective Robert Hunter, by Chris Carter. I’ve missed a couple but think it is one I will ultimately go back to and read in order. Sometime in the future. On the whole however, these books can easily be read as standalone novels.
And this, the eleventh in the series, is most definitely one of my favourites so far.
I have inadvertently come and gone from this series featuring Detective Robert Hunter from LAPD’s Ultra Violent Crimes Unit. (And yes, each time I have a giggle at the ‘ultra’ and try to remember to add the ‘n’ in violent.)
I’ve enjoyed the books I’ve read (here’s my review of the 2018 release ) and am pretty consistent now but – as it would happen – this is actually a sequel to an earlier book in the series and even the author Chris Carter recommends we read its precursor.
However… #spoileralert: I hadn’t read it and survived.
I very much enjoyed Chris Carter’s 2017 book, The Caller. It was certainly creepy however and not for the faint of heart. His latest, Gallery of the Dead, is very much the same though probably gets a little less macabre after the first (rather gory) murder.
Chris Carter, the author, should not be confused with Chris Carter, television producer who brought you the likes of The X Files and Millenium. Indeed, this opening paragraph – before I did my research (ie. typed his name into Google) – opened with the fact I was a fan of his television work. So… oops.
