Another gruesome case for Hunter and Garcia...
I really hope Alice sticks around in the series from here on out, I thought she was a welcome addition to the team.
At times a bit too gory for my tastes but definitely a gripping read from start to finish with lots of plot twists and turns.

This is my favourite book by Chris Carter. I could not put this book down. It was quite gruesome at times but that's what I love about his books. The plot was brilliant and it kept you guessing all through out the book who the killer was. 10/10.

Book 4 from Chris Carter and another serial killer for Hunter and Garcia to catch plus another 5 star read.
People are being brutally tortured, murdered and their dismembered bodies are being used to create death sculptors. What is the killer trying to tell the detectives?
Each chapter leaves you on a breathless cliffhanger making you want to keep turning the pages but at the same time look away. The ending making my heart pound as it all starts to come together.
Another brilliant read!

Not the best in the series
Whilst I enjoyed this book it is definitely not the strongest of the series. The murder scenes are as violent as ever but for some reason this one just doesn't flow as well as the previous books

This is the 4th in the series and I haven't been reading them in order. However, I love this series and am now going to read them in order. This one is nice and gruesome, just how I like my books! Lots of blood, guts and horrific crime scenes. Can't wait to start with the next one
