Another incredible book from Chris Carter, he never fails to absolutely blow me away with his skills. Non stop tension throughout and such a well developed plot and motive behind it all.

Another brilliant instalment in the Robert Hunter series, guess I’ll now have a long wait until the next one! I will continue to recommend these books to anyone who will listen.

I wish I could give this book 6 stars!! Chris Carter has knocked it out of the park with this one!! 
It's very rare that a book genuinely creeps me out but I found myself checking under the bed and in the wardrobe before going to sleep.  If the goal was to scare us silly Mr Carter, then well done.
It's everything a thriller should be, twists, turns, suspense, absolutely unputdownable :)
