The Robert Hunter series has never been one for the faint of heart and this one is no exception. It's a riveting story with a seriously bad, bad guy at its heart. It's also bang up to date and a serious reminder of the downsides of some of today's modern technology. The killer that Hunter takes on is as twisted an evil as he's faced before and once an 'innocent' pickpocket steals his personal bag containing something most precious to him things are not set to end well. What follows contains plenty of action, intrigue and clever plotting that leads to a dramatic finale which is delivered in a forensic style which very much put me in mind of classic Jack Reacher.

The performance by Thomas Judd almost matches the story line but the audio did not seem quite as clean as normal. It's perfectly clear but during the pauses there are faint clicks and sounds, not something that bothered me personally but I can imagine might be slightly off-putting to some, check out the sample if such things tend to bother you. It wouldn't stop me recommending this.

If I have any quibbles on the plot it is probably the Detective Garcia character who I thought was weak being used mostly as someone for Hunter to explain things to, even when he does reach his own conclusion we are usually reminded that Hunter had got there before him . . . as if we didn't already know. Garcia needs to be pepped up with more of his own personality rather than just being a prop for Hunter.

That though is more a quibble than a complaint. 'Written in Blood' simply crackles with energy and tension and delivers a very satisfying finale.

Cracking Chiller Thriller!

Robert Hunter is one of our most beloved chiller thriller detective series. This one is less chiller and more in touch and human. Read it so quickly because I wanted to get to the end but feel the need to start the series all over. Chris Carter never disappoints

Great story, had me gripped. Narrator is also really good. But my god the writing is poor!!!! I’ve never come across a bunch of people with so much expression and emotions in their eyes. Everything about the characters were in their eyes apparently. It got extremely annoying after a while. To the point where I started laughing when someone’s eyes softened or hardened or their eyes just revealed their whole childhood, last night’s dinner, their endless hatred or some other cliche. Which is distracting when you’re listening to an overall gripping story about a scary killer. So mixed emotions about this. Story: 5 stars. Narrator: 5 stars. Writing: 2 stars.

In their eyes..

A good idea spoilt by over description which slows the pace Could be two hours shorter and tauter.

This story needs editing
