The Crucifix Killer (Robert Hunter, #1)
by
In a derelict cottage in L.A, a young woman is found savagely murdered. Naked, strung from two wooden posts, the skin has been ripped from her face - while she was still alive. On the nape of her neck is carved a strange double-cross: the signature of a psychopath known as the Crucifix Killer. But that's not possible. Because, two years ago, the Crucifix Killer was caught and executed. Could this be the work of a copycat? Or is Homicide Detective Robert Hunter forced to face the unthinkable? Is the real Crucifix Killer still out there, taunting Hunter with his inability to catch him? Robert Hunter and his rookie partner are about to enter a nightmare beyond imagining ...
My first book by this author Chris Carter, have been tempted before to read his books, by recommendations reviews and book cover.
Please that my September Book Pal wanted and agreed to read this books, and I really enjoyed the book.
I enjoyed the writing style, the main leading characters, especially Robert Hunter.
A gripping, tense, fast paced, exciting thriller, with lots of great twists, red herrings, fantastic shocks, and with hints of humour between the main two characters.
Four stars for me and recommended

I really enjoyed it, and have just bought 2 and 3 in the series.Although I know some reviews say not good, I really enjoyed it, I know Janet did not like it.

That's why we are all different. Remember we loved Creep and Freak, but so many others didn't like it. I have an open mind.

Hi Sean, Glad you enjoyed this book, having read all of the Chris Carter books myself I must say if you liked the first one You will Love the other six, they get more shocking, gripping and exciting as they go. :-)
I've read this, and I had to go get the other books in the series, like the same day I finished this one
You're right, Sean, I didn't. But I'm glad you did. It's good we all like different things and sometimes we do agree. Gone Girl!! ;-)
I have read all Chris Carter books and have loved them all. Just bought the new one I Am Death.
I'm sold. Adding to my list. Thanks!
