Welcome to Litsy!

So good. Everything I like in a book: Suspense, Serial Killer, Surprise! Thanks to all the Litsy's I follow that have read his books. Because of y'all, I gave him a try and now I'm hooked on another series 🤦

First book of #20in4 #Readathon. Maybe the only one I get read this time. @Andrew65

Starting this today! #blameitonlitsy

I‘m rereading this series because I love Chris Carter‘s books. The books are not for the faint of heart. There‘s a lot of gore in them. If you don‘t mind that, I think you‘ll enjoy his books. #SeriesLove2023 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

“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.”

Time for me to start this series! I‘ve heard about Chris Carter a lot, so I expect it‘ll be gritty!

I did not see that ending coming! An enthralling page turner with exceptional character development and skilled writing. I‘m jumping straight into another in the series.

1. My children are all adults and carve their own pumpkins. I will not be carving one this year. I live on the hilltop and get no trick or treaters.
2. Orange pumpkins I like the best.
3. All of Chris Carter‘s books are very scary especially the tagged book.

Can you play?

Meet Robert Hunter, the youngest Homicide Detective the Los Angeles Police has ever recruited, on his first day. As a rookie, he is given a simple suicide investigation to cut his teeth on. But when he arrives at the scene, he swiftly begins to suspect that something is not quite right.
Hunter has a hunch that the victim did not commit suicide.

Gritty thrillers but soooo good!

#ThankfulThursday @Cosmos_Moon @TheSpineView Thanks for the tag!

I found a new series!!! 💜💜💜 It‘s graphic and twisted.

A little late night reading and crocheting
#readingandcrocheting #wip #widn

I love horror books, but this book is gruesome too. This is not for the faint of heart. It keeps you guessing all the way to the end.

5⭐️ LOVED this book!! I can‘t wait to read more in this series. After my self imposed book buying ban that is 😭🤯. I need to focus on the 688+ physical (& 1800+ digital Kobo) books I already own. It‘s sad that I need to go on a buying ban, but mentally, financially & square footage space wise it‘s well overdue. I believe that it‘s become a serious problem & I need to responsibly deal with it. 📚💖

🎶📚💖 My favourite things, books & music! Pulled this relic out to listen to some retro music lol! So far, I lie what I‘m hearing 😉💖

Rather cheesy and cliched at times, but as the first book in the series, it is understandable. Indications are later books are much better.

Hunter is a typical male fantasy figure: supremely intelligent, good in a fight, attractive to everyone everywhere, etc. I‘ll see if the next one improves. Rating: 3 ⭐️

My first book by this author. Really enjoyed it!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The tagged book was a Chapters $6 find 😱 & the other is a library hold that I just picked up today as well!! Yay books!! 💖📚🎶🎃👻. I‘m hosting my own Readathon today through Sunday @ Midnight for anyone wanting an excuse to read lol 😂😏📚

Next Kindle read 😊

I can't believe this is the last #whodunit?! 😭 it looks like it's gonna be a good one to end on! 😁 and thanks for the yummy chocolates @TrishB

Last one for now.. I'll be back later.. 😂

I really enjoyed this.. 5/5.. The characters were great and I was gripped from the start.. 😊

Let's get started 😁

Downloaded some pretty awesome sounding books lately but completely hooked on Chris carter for the last month. On to the next one, slowly but surely working my way through his books!! 📖

There were a couple of problems with this #whodunituk book but overall I enjoyed it and bought a copy for my Kindle. @thegirlwiththebookishcandle it will be on it's way tomorrow!

This book was such a letdown. It had so much potential but Carters writing was lecture-like and far from poetic. A lot of the time I felt he talked down to his readers; over explaining things. The dialogue, particularly between Hunter and Garcia was very contrived and awkward at times. Nothing flowed or seemed realistic or natural. It was clear that this was a debut novel.#whodunnituk

First I‘ve used my book sleeve from @ScorpioBookDreams it‘s fantastic! Nice and big for hardbacks by @MyBookZleeves ❤️📚

Starting this months #whodunnituk tonight ❤️📚

@emily_m_tubb my #whodunnituk has arrived safely. The chocolate was eaten with my coffee🙈 thank you so much 😘😘 looking forward to this one!!

#SpookyOctober #Courageous
I'd say Detective Hunter is pretty courageous. I don't want to say too much and spoil this for our #whodunituk group... This was a great book, I can see myself reading more by Chris Carter!

@Jess7

#SpookyOctober #MysteriousMonday
My #whodunituk book arrived today, fitting perfectly with the prompt... I wonder if I'll be able to predict the killer in this one??? 🗡

@Jess7

I am loving your notes @Libby1 I got to chapter 41 last night and had to make a prediction so that I could read yours!
#whodunituk

Thanks @libby1, my next book has arrived! Love the badge and tea :-) I only have 50 pages of my current one left so not too far behind before it goes to @emily_m_tubb #whodunituk

The LA setting, the genius protagonist, the trusty rookie, the grotesque murders, and the pacy plot made this an enjoyable read.

Thanks, @ScorpioBookDreams and #whodunituk!

Tonight's reading companion.

Those paws. ❤️

#CatsOfLitsy

Time to meet Robert Hunter.

I always remove the dust jackets when I'm reading a book so as not to damage them.

Who else does this?

My #whodunituk is here!

Thanks so much for the lovely gifts, @ScorpioBookDreams ! I love them. ❤️

Começado ontem à noite e já rendida. A terminar hoje

Nach "Das Paket" von Sebastian Fitzek (welches mir richtig gut gefallen hat!), bin ich noch nicht fertig mit den Thrillern, mir ist auf jeden Fall nach noch einem, also habe ich mir überlegt, das Chris Carter wohl ein guter Partner dabei sein könnte ?

5 stars??? I need more than 5 stars for this book. This book which is the first in the Robert Hunter series by Chris Carter is a phenomenal, edge of your seat, nail biting joyride of pure evil and is what a crime story is supposed to be all about. Here's to reading the others in the series!

Absolutely loving this ... gruesome from the first word!
