Another cracking read from Chris Carter 4.5/5 ⭐️
I am reading the Robert Hunter series completely out of order but I don't care as I love them! So yeah it's a series, but you can also read them as standalones (says me!)
SYNOPSIS:
"Be careful before answering your next call. It could be the beginning of your worst nightmare. After a tough week, Tanya Kaitlin is looking forward to a relaxing night in, but as she steps out of her shower, she hears her phone ring. The video call request comes from her best friend, Karen Ward. Tanya takes the call and the nightmare begins. Detectives Robert Hunter and Carlos Garcia are thrown into a rollercoaster of evil, chasing a predator who scouts the streets and social media networks for victims, taunting them with secret messages and feeding on their fear. "
MY THOUGHTS
🔪 Dark, twisted and utterly gripping
🔪 Hunter and Garcia are a great detective duo in the Ultra Violent Crimes Unit, I loved reading about them as they try and solve this case.
🔪 Short chapters, many of which have cliffhangers.
🔪 Brutal, disturbing and compulsive.
🔪 A must-read for fans of Sam Holland, Karin Slaughter, Jennifer Hillier and the like.
🔪 I never guessed any of the twists and the end was *chef's kiss!
