Uggghhhh. That. Was. AWFUL.
I am so disappointed because it sounded incredible. But between subtle sexist rants,the ridiculous killer reveal and the god damn R.L Stine- esque end of chapter cliffhangers, this book had me ranting to my husband the whole time.
I honestly do not understand how this gets good ratings.
And that ending?? Oh my god. Don't make me sick in my own scorn. Freaking worst.

I am utterly ashamed to admit that I am behind in this particular series because of all the books in all the world, this one should have been at the very top of my TBR. I LOVE Chris Carter's Robert Hunter series with a passion. Whenever anyone asks me for a crime thriller recommendation Chris Carter's Detective Robert Hunter series is ALWAYS at the top of the list. No matter what, this is the series you must read...but make sure you haven't eaten beforehand!
I was lucky enough to interview Chris Carter when The Caller was first published last year. Click HERE to witness my fangirling in all its glory!
The Caller is the eighth book in the series and I was thrilled to be reunited with Detective Robert Hunter once again. Things you should know about Hunter....he has an exceptionally high IQ, he has a Ph.D. in Criminal Behaviour Analysis and Biopsychology and he works for the LAPD's Ultra Violent Crimes (UVC) Unit. Yup, you read that right, the Ultra Violent Crimes Unit (if you read my reviews often then you may be getting some idea why I love this series as I do!). Hunter works alongside Detective Carlos Garcia, the only other member of the UVC, and what a team they are! There is such a strong dynamic between the two characters, they complement each other perfectly.
Hunter and Garcia are only ever called in for the most violent and bizarre murders so when Tanya Kaitlin receives a shocking video call from her best friend, Karen, you know things aren't going to end well for either of them! When a second victim is discovered following another terrifying video call it blows all of Hunter's theories out of the water and the UVC are back to square one, struggling to discover the killer's motivation before they strike again. One thing is for sure and that's Carter knows how to write a depraved mind. His books tend to be gorier than many of his peers but I just flipping love that! I visibly winced at points in the book and I am always in awe of the new and inventive ways the author comes up with killing his characters off. This book and the others in the series are not for the faint-hearted, you have been warned.
I wasn't able to spot whodunit but this is a tricky one to do that with (I won't say any more about that for fear of spoilers). Carter's books are always page-turners and this one is no different. I found that as I know the lead characters so well, it made The Caller all the more compelling. Is this the best book in the series? I wouldn't necessarily say it is (that crown belongs to One by One in my opinion) but it's another stonking addition to a thoroughly magnificent series.
Would I recommend this book? 100%, always. And every other book in the Detective Hunter series too. If you haven't read any of these books yet then you are truly missing out. They're edgy, thrilling and utterly compulsive reading. I love them. Chris Carter is my absolute favourite author and having read The Caller I now can't wait to make a start on book nine, The Gallery of the Dead. I need more Detective Robert Hunter in my life. End of.
Four and a half stars out of five.

I was excited to pick this book up as it would mean I was continuing a series. I would also mean I would mean I was continuing a series. It would also mean I would get to follow Robert Hunter and Carlos Garcia again as they are trying to solve the case. I was very intrigued from the start the case in which they need to solve was very intriguing. The way in which the murders were taking place, in a very interesting way, it also meant that it seemed very strange and peculiar. With how the book was written was very well written which made you want to just kept reading. By the end of the book I was surprised with how Robert had managed figure out who was the suspect. I am very intrigued to continue the series, to find out what other cases he will have to solve.
Genial konstruiert ! Einfach atemberaubend, bedauernswert dass es schon aus ist !
