Welcome to Litsy!

June was the month my reading fell off a cliff, and only one five star read. So Written in Blood by Chris Carter is my #12Booksof2024 choice for June.

This is a strong crime series and one of my favourites, Robert Hunter is a great character. But you do have to like gritty with this series.

It‘s December 4 in Los Angeles and Angela Wood is celebrating a $687 profit for pickpocketing. She is having a cocktail and decides to steal a patron‘s expensive looking leather bag. There is no money, no laptop computer, nothing of any value, at least not to Angela.

Another good one in the Detective Robert Hunter Series!!!

This book was my least favorite of the series. It was still good though and had a good storyline. This was about the time Chris‘s girlfriend passed away so it‘s totally understandable. A very difficult time for him. #SeriesLove2023 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

“The Killer
His most valuable possession has been stolen.
Now he must retrieve it, at any cost.

The Girl
Angela Wood wanted to teach the man a lesson. It was a bag, just like any other.
But when she opens it, the worst nightmare of her life begins.

The Detective
A journal ends up on Robert Hunter‘s desk. It soon becomes clear that there is a serial killer on the loose.
And if Hunter can‘t stop him in time, more people will die.”

Not only did I miss Coben, but Carter too ❣️❣️❣️ Bring it on, Robert Hunter, I am waiting to be shocked!

Definitely one of my favorite series.

"There were exactly three weeks until Christmas Day. To Angela Wood, that Saturday officially marked the beginning of what she called 'high season'"

I found this one a bit slow and with a lot less of the usual gore and imaginatively graphic crime scenes I have come to expect. Much of it was just plain old detective work. I suppose that is is to be expected given the tremendously tragic event that Chris had to deal with while writing it. It was still a good thriller though, and the explosive ending more than made up for the lackluster start.

I love this dedication - “We weren‘t prepared.”

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.
This is day 195

Chris Carter writes with passion and it comes through in his books,an author who never lets you down

What's wrong with this? 😤

How to wind up a book nerd!
Reissue all the covers except two.
Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 😠

One problem with reading the newest book from your favorite author so soon is that you have to wait forever for another one! As always I loved this book in the Robert Hunter series and I cant get enough! I want more already! 😩

“Written in Blood” is the eleventh book in the series featuring LAPD Detective Robert Hunter. It‘s highly detailed and descriptive, it‘s super fast paced and made for a really enjoyable read. It‘s 5 stars from me!
