I Am Death by Chris Carter
5.0
4.5 out of 5
Seven days after being abducted, the body of a twenty-year-old woman is found on a green patch of grass by the Los Angeles International Airport. She has been left with her limbs stretched out and spread apart, placing her in a five-point human star.
The autopsy reveals that she had been murdered in a most terrible way. But the surprises don't end there.
Detective Robert Hunter, who leads LAPD's Special Section, Ultra Violent Unit, is assigned the case. But almost immediately a second body turns up. Hunter knows he has to be quick.
Surrounded by new challenges as every day passes, Detective Hunter finds himself chasing a monster. A predator whose past hides a terrible secret, whose desire to hurt people and thirst for murder can never be quenched - for he is DEATH.
I love Chris Carter's writing style. I find when I'm reading any of his books, they clearly play out in my head like a movie and this book was just the same.
This book is quite gruesome in parts with graphic descriptions of what the victims go through and has one of the most cold and confident serial killers that I've ever read about. His lack of human emotion and his ability to lead Hunter a merry dance makes for some great reading and a book that you will read well into the night (as long as you don't scare easy). The ending was quite surprising, just when I thought I knew who it was, bang, the real killer is revealed.
Another great read from Chris Carter, looking forward to starting the next book in the series, The Caller.
