When the body of a young woman is discovered in a derelict cottage in Los Angeles, Robert Hunter is thrown into a nightmare case. The victim suffered a terrible death, and on the nape of her neck has been carved a strange double-cross: the signature of a psychopath known as the Crucifix Killer.
But that’s impossible. Because two years ago, the Crucifix Killer was caught and executed. Could this therefore be a copycat killer? Or could the unthinkable be true? Is the real killer still out there, ready to embark once again on a vicious and violent killing spree, selecting his victims seemingly at random, taunting Robert Hunter with his inability to catch him?
Hunter and his rookie partner, Garcia, need to solve this case and fast.
MY THOUGHTS
This was my first Chris Carter book and I picked it up on the spur of the moment from the library and I am so glad I did I started reading another book read the first chapter and it wasn’t making me want to pick it up for the rest of the day so that evening I thought I would try the crucifix killer and I read the first 50 pages straight away then the next day I read the rest of it. I liked the plot line it was that what drew me in when I saw it and I liked the main characters Robert Hunter and his partner Garcia their chemistry was really good. I had an idea of who the villain was going to be I think it’s just because I’ve read so many books like this now plus watched all of csi vegas, Miami and New York and ncis I kind of know what to expect so I end up guessing correct 9 times out of 10 but I liked it still as sometimes I’m like yes I knew what was coming and by who. I didn’t expect the twist at the end though when the captain was talking to the medical examiner. Overall I will read more books by this author and if you haven’t read any I recommend you to.
