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

Na konci mě čekalo rozčarování, které podle komentářů sdílelo více lidí. Upozorňuju, že zde bude spoiler, KDO je vrah, takže doporučuju číst až poté, co knihu máte přečtenou a vrtá vám v hlavou, kdo je sakra ten mechanik. Takže - vrahem je nečekaně ženská, což u tak brutálních vražd překvapí. Dost lidí se vracelo ke kapitole s druhou obětí, kterou omráčí u lodě mechanik - muž. Kdo že to sakra byl? Je to chyba v knize? Nedomyšlená zápletka? Nikoli - je to "chyba" českého překladu. V originále vystupuje postava mechanika, který nemá specifikované pohlaví - she/he. Mechanik je zde označení profese, nikoli mužského rodu. Celou dobu byla mechanik Olivie, nepředstírala, že je muž. Klasicky to bylo hrané na to, že bude čtenář předpokládat, že taková práce je vyloženě mužská práce. Jasně, přeložit tohle do cz byl trochu oříšek, i když se to celkem dařilo s používáním vět, které se vyhýbaly ženskému/mužskému rodu... až na JEDNU VĚTU, která to celé pohřbila, protože jasně určila mechanikovo (chybné) pohlaví, kdy mechanik říká: "...že jsem NEMĚL dovolenou už... Mechanik se na vteřinu zarazil a pak se smutně zasmál. Jasně, dalo by se polemizovat, že i "zasmál se, zarazil se" určuje mužské pohlaví, ale nad tím by se dalo přimhouřit oko, i když to prostě v té angličtině funguje mnohem lépe. Ale ve chvíli, kdy i mluví v mužském rodě, to je jiná. Takže záhada objasněna pro ty, kteří si lámou hlavu nad tím, kdo je sakra ten mechanik.
Jinak celkově mi tenhle díl přišel trochu slabší, proto musím hodnotit za 3*.

The Death Sculptor by Chris Carter
Title - The Death Sculptor
Author - Chris Carter
Published - Feb '13
Publisher - Simon and Shuster
Genre - #Crime #Thriller #Mystery
Pages - 512
Price on Amazon - Paperback - £6.38 Kindle - £4.99
ISBN - 0857203029
The Death Sculptor is the fourth novel in the Robert Hunter series by Chris Carter. Hunter and Garcia are on the case of another serial killer, another sick mind to hunt down. This time the killer is killing his victims then using their body parts to make a human sculptor. But why? Can Hunter and Garcia figure out the meaning of the sculptors before even more people die? Can they catch this killer?
Yet again we are introduced to Hunter and Garcia. We learn more about their pasts, which helps the reader connect better with the characters which in turns helps the reader to invest more in the story.
The pace of the book is very similar to the other books in the series, its a really good pace, easy to follow with a really interesting storyline. I found it really gripping and it really pulled me into the story and I just couldn't put it down.
Were introduced to new characters, the family of the victims, which sends you on a whirlwind of emotions. I did find with this book, I did manage to work out who the killer was quite early on. I had a gut feeling about the killer, there was just something that set of my spider senses.
All in all, another fantastic book from Chris Carter, in the Robert Hunter series. Definitely one of my favourite series I've read this year so far. For these reasons, I have chosen to give this book Five out of Five Stars.

"Weißt du, es gibt vieles an uns, das wir nicht ändern können - weil wir einfach so geboren sind. Aber manches an uns wird durch das geprägt, was wir sehen. Und wie wir von anderen behandelt werden. Welche Gefühle uns das vermittelt."
