If you like dark, twisted and gory thrillers with a very intriguing main character, then you'll want to pick up the Robert Hunter series by Chris Carter.

While not for the faint of heart, Carter kicks off this book immediately with the grisly murder of a priest that leads him into a tangled web of deceit, old grudges and a body count that continues to rise with each murder just as gruesome as the last. With a new police Captain to get used to and the pressure to find this sadistic murderer, Hunter has his work cut out for him.

A wee beef: There were a lot of names to keep track of with all the murders, suspects and two storylines

Clearly, this is not a Murder She Wrote kind of book (or series) and is a better pick for readers who like dark, DARK, reads with creative methods of murder that are described in detail. 

Compelling and fast-paced (with very short chapters), Carter doesn't pull any punches in this explosive and entertaining series that blends crime fiction with bits of humour from Detective Robert Hunter and a titch of social commentary.
