5.0

Detective Hunter was just assigned a new partner, which is good because an old case has started up again. They thought they had the killer, so how is it possible the Crucifix Killer is back at it? This is a tight, suspenseful thriller that will keep you guessing throughout. Great characters, tons of twists and turns and edge of your seat suspense make this an excellent first in the series.

If I could give this book 6 stars, I would. Chris Carter never fails to surprise me. I read any other book and 99% of the time I can figure out who’s committed the crime. But Chris, OMG he has you hooked and manipulated through the entire thing. Nothing could have prepared me for the ending. READ THIS 10/10

Ooh..I've owned a copy of this book since 2016, (age 22) and interestingly enough never read it, which is surpising. 

This is book one of the series and I'm sure i own the next one in the series too, or if i don't, I'm pretty sure I saw a copy at work that I could nab. 

Ooh..I like with real life psychologists write a book, cause you know there's something about their career that intertwines perfectly with a thriller. 

Well, I can't remember the last time I've been disgusted in a book. Within the first 20 pages, it reminded me of the TV series Hannibal, with its graphic details of murders. Sitting on the train and reading the first two victims deaths, almost got me vomiting. 

But I carried on, even if my face was srunched up in disgust. 

This book is very heavy with crime, it's a psychological thriller, written by someone whose got experience in the field of crime. 

Chapped 63/64 just became too much for me. Reading those two chapters mere minutes before my shift at work was wrong, I needed to breath and doing that at work ain't it. 

At times crucifix killer weighs itself down with too much back story, but when you take that away, it hooks the audience in way to heavy. Leaves the reader gasping for air, choking on disgust and wanting us to figure out why the cops haven't done anything with their riddled clues.

Ooh..okay..now I'm hooked, let's see if I can find my next chris carter book that I own.

I loved this book! This thriller kept me guessing right up until the end. I would recommend this book to anyone that loves crime or thriller fiction. This is the first book i have read by Chris Carter and I am looking forward to reading other books he has written.
