The Crucifix Killer by Chris CarterMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Release Date: 1st August 2009
As a big fan of crime psychological thrillers, this is right up my street.
Following Homicide Detective Robert Hunter and his new rookie partner Garcia on a case to the body of a young woman that is discovered in a derelict cottage who has been sadistically tortured making her dead body difficult to identify. This case starts to resemble a previous closed case of Hunter's The Crucifix Killer, but they think this is the work of a copycat as they have already caught and imprisoned.
The deaths and violence in this book are explicit and explained in real detail, giving a visceral reaction to them as they're discovered and really helps to immerse you into the setting and the events. I really loved the great characterisation and the psychology of all the characters in the book, all needed to move the story along and added more depth.
I'm really looking forward to continuing with this series.
I would say if you are squeamish, maybe this book isn't for you.
