Chris never fails to come up with the absolute worst ways for his characters to die and, it sounds awful to say, but it does make for one hell of an enjoyable read. You find yourself squirming at the scenes but not being able to stop reading. I started Chris's books with One By One which was pretty horrific (and not entirely original) but it seems his earlier work is where he was his most gruesome. As for the main character Robert Hunter, I like him and he is probably now one of my favourite fictional detectives however he is portrayed as some kind of genius, a child prodigy whose university thesis is mandatory reading for FBI trainees. It usually annoys me having a perfect detective who can solve every crime however it doesn't here because I feel that Hunter is actually quite a realistic and believable character despite this 'perfectness'.

It is only when the full autopsy gets underway at the Los Angeles County morgue that the pathologist will reveal the true horror of the situation - a discovery so devastating that Detective Robert Hunter of the Los Angeles Homicide Special Section has to be pulled off a different case to take over the investigation Whatever its flaws, Kolchak is still damn fun with a lot of surprises, not the least of which is how this one-season show remains infuential more than 30 years later. La verdad es que la imaginación del autor para crear casos, y su conocimiento de la psicología y criminología se notan. Within days a new body surfaces. Like the previous victim, she's also been stitched shut and something has been left inside her. Something as ingenious as it is grotesque. And the killer isn't done yet, not by a long shot. Na, o serijinis žudikas šįkart šiurpina išskirtinai tik moteris, tam tikro amžiaus, išvaizdos, specialybės. O jau žudimo įrankiai tai eina sau, ir tikrai šiurpo prideda tos susiūtos lūpos ir dar kitos vietos.

‘A Song to Remember’

I used my love of crime books and tv shows to try and guess who the killer was but it didn’t hit me until like chapter eighty / eighty five. Als positive Notiz zum Abschluss möchte ich sagen, dass das Buch bisweilen schon Spaß gemacht hat und zumindest so spannend war, dass man gerne weiterlesen mochte. Man kommt gut rein und es ist einfach zu lesen. Manchmal fast zu einfach – ein großer Literat isser halt nicht, der Chris.

But when his inquiry collides with a missing persons' case being investigated by the razor-sharp Whitney Meyers, Hunter suspects the killer might be keeping several women hostage. Soon Robert finds himself on the hunt for a murderer with a warped obsession, a stalker for whom love has become hate.I don’t want to give anything away as I may give some of the spoilers away and I don’t want to as it’s a book that you should read knowing nothing about it. There are ⚠️trigger warnings ⚠️but it’s mostly triggers that are spoken of, some actually happen and that’s murder, abuse (at least makes you think at first), self harm, kidnap, physiological damage of a child and body mutilation. If anybody has been in a situation like any of the events in this book then it may not be for you. Best and the Worst:To my way of thinking, the Matheson TV movie is better than any particular episode of the show it spawned. Matheson did excellent work with vampires, after all. But I’m going to focus on the series itself for the best and worst.

I also liked the character of Whitney Myers and the factors that led her to become what she later became. I don't want to include any spoilers in case you ever give it a try. García ha sido útil en esta ocasión (espero siga asi el hombre caray) y Hunter no se ha liado con nadie esta vez jajaja, eso es bueno tmb; digo, no me opongo a que se enrede con alguien pero prefiero que la trama fluya en torno a los crímenes que se presentan a lo largo de la trama. Commander Barbara Blake is brought in to help with the case when they dig further into the identity of the girls they find that all of them are artists of some sort, another body is found but the calling card has changed then Commander Blake disappears this time Hunter will stop at nothing until he finds her what happens from here on is a cat & mouse game between the perp & Hunter. A wiki walk can be as refreshing to the mind as a walk through nature in this completely overrated real life outside books:

About this book

Y también porque Hunter no se haya liado con nadie. No me opongo a que tenga sexo, me opongo a que todas, y cuando digo todas es todas, las mujeres que aparecen, quieren algo con Hunter. Se ve que todas tienen los mismos gustos y lo mismo en la cabeza. También porque García, el compañero de Hunter, ha sido más útil y ya parece un poli más competente. An unidentifiable body - it’s mouth carefully stitched shut - is discovered laid out on a slab in an abandoned butcher’s shop. When the full autopsy gets underway at the Los Angeles County morgue the true horror of the situation is revealed - a discovery so devastating that Detective Robert Hunter of the Los Angeles Homicide Special Section has to be pulled off a different case to take over the investigation. Soon Hunter finds himself on the hunt for a murder with a warped obsession, a stalker for whom love becomes hate. Izlišno je pisati bilo šta o radnji, reći ću samo da vas ovde čeka novi posao za omiljeni mi knjiški, istražiteljski dvojac, a slučaj koji ovde dobijaju, ništa manje nije jeziv i brutalan od prethodnih, te se pripremite na još krvi, misterije, psiholoških igara i ne tako prijatnih scena sa mesta zločina. Within days a new body surfaces. Like the previous victim, she’s also been stitched shut and something has been left inside her. Something as ingenious as it is grotesque. And the killer isn’t done yet, not by a long shot.
