Summary

"Good job you didn't turn on the lights...."

A student nurse has the shock of her life when she discovers her patient, prosecutor Derek Nicholson, brutally murdered in his bed. The act seems senseless - Nicholson was terminally ill, with only weeks to live. But what most shocks Detective Robert Hunter of the Los Angeles Robbery Homicide Division is the calling card the killer left behind.

For Hunter, there is no doubt that the killer is trying to communicate with the police, but the method is unlike anything he's ever seen before. And what could the hidden message be?

Just as Hunter and his partner, Garcia, reckon they've found a lead, a new body is found - and a new calling card. But with no apparent link between the first and second victims, all the progress they've made so far goes out the window.

Pushed into an uncomfortable alliance with confident investigator Alice Beaumont, Hunter must race to put together the pieces of the puzzle...before the Death Sculptor puts the final touches on his masterpiece.

Quite Gruesome

As with all Chris Carter's books, they are very graphic and can be a bit eerie and it makes you wonder how the author's mind work, must be very vivid. This is the 4th book but I have not read 1-4 so they can be read aa standalone although the main character stays the same, and there is always an in-depth description of the characters. I also have the audio version so I did a bit of listening and the narrator does a very good job.

Original, unusual - and gruesome!

This is a very unusual storyline, and I had no clue who was the perpetrator. Once I got into the book I was hooked. Fast paced and action packed.

Pantomime, two-dimensional characters ruined this

I had read not listened to the earlier books in the series and enjoyed them. Unfortunately, a combination of two-dimensional characters from the author and poor voice characterisation from the narrator spoilt my enjoyment. Garcia is portrayed as an over-reacting pantomime sidekick to situations whilst Hunter, strong, intelligent, handsome (and extremely dull and boring), never bats an eyelid. This just became annoying after a while. Although the plot was effective, I wouldn't recommend.
