Having loved (and I do mean LOVED) the first two books in the David Hunter series, I admit I was anxious when I picked up the third and latest, 'Whispers of the Dead' by author Simon Beckett – a feeling, might I add, which was exasperated as the opening pages revealed this latest adventure was set in the U.S. One of the (many) reasons I adored the previous books was, unlike so many other thrillers, it was set in the United Kingdom.
However all feelings of anxiety, dread and fear evaporated as I turned the pages.
The latest David Hunter thriller is set in Knoxville, Tennessee (a place I have visited and loved!) and sees Forensic Anthropologist recovering from the (physical and emotional) wounds inflicted upon him in 'Written in Bone' as he tries to pick up the pieces of his life.
Beckett’s latest is teeming with vivid descriptions, twists-and-turns aplenty and characters to both love and loathe.
Another refreshingly unpredictable read from Simon Beckett and I for one, cannot wait for the next instalment!

War der Teil, der mir bisher am wenigsten gefallen hat. Irgendwie war das alles zu viel und bei mir kam auch nicht so richtig Spannung auf, glaube aber auch, weil ich vom Sprecher genervt war. Davon abgesehen habe ich wieder das Problem, dass ich die Augen verdrehen muss, wie Beckett über Frauen schreibt.
fast-paced
At times this book seemed a bit much with all the bodies and decomposition. However, I was glued to this book so it must have been a pretty good read.
This is the first book I have read by the author, but I will definitely read the others now.

Auch Band 3 der David Hunter Reihe steht seinen Vorgängen in nichts nach.
Sehr zu empfehlen für diejenigen unter euch, die Thriller nicht immer nur aus den Blickwinkeln der Ermittler lesen wollen, in denen es hauptsächlich um Zeugenbefragungen und Täterprofile geht (wobei das hier natürlich auch eine kleine Rolle spielt), sondern in diesem Fall aus den Augen eines forensischen Anthropologen.
Für mich eine Highlight Reihe und ich bin froh, dass ich noch einige Bände vor mir habe.

Very creepy, never boring, an insane amount of bodies and just as good as "Chemistry of Death"!
