The Hunter: A gripping and terrifying short story

Product Information

I want to emphasize, as I said earlier, if you´re not up for horrifying murder methods, don´t read this book. If you are, then you´re as crazy as I am or will be after finishing the book I love Garcia's relationship with his wife Anna and this time after the last books she was more involved and present in the story and to be honest I would like that kind of relationship for Hunter too since the author after five books made me care enough for him that I want some happiness and stability for him also. Tikrai daug visko įpinta į šią istoriją ir džiaugiuosi, jog autorius pasirinko būtent tokią temą. Apie tai yra tiesiog būtina kalbėti ir net neabejoju, jog ši pronlema yra išlikusi ir šiomis dienomis.

But this discovery does more than just link the two killings—it suggests that this is the work of a serial murderer. When he and his partner are called to the scene of a brutal murder, where the victim has been hung up with a giant fish hook, Hunter begins to wonder if he has reached the edge of the depravity people could inflict on others. With a piece of poetry left at the scene, Hunter and others within the LAPD begin to ponder if this message has a deeper meaning. The mysterious caller however doesn't want Hunter to just watch, but rather participate in an act where refusing is not an option. I like my psycho-thrillers to have an atmosphere of tension, excitement, fear and if there is terror then I simply love it. The author did try to create a similar atmosphere from the very beginning but I felt that somehow he was unable to maintain it.So, story wise, this is really, really good. I have formed a strong attachment of Robert Hunter and his partner in Homicide Special Section Carlos Garcia. Combined with how it makes me ponder about the era of Internet and social media, it easily makes this latest installment another favorite. Within days a new body surfaces. Like the previous victim, she's also been stitched shut and something has been left inside her. Something as ingenious as it is grotesque. And the killer isn't done yet, not by a long shot. The identity of the killer is a bit surprising ... but at the same time, makes me a bit confused Especially for Andrew's murder, when Olivia posed as mechanic ... was she really that strong that she could broke Andrew's jaw? And didn't these man ever saw her before, considering that Olivia was the daughter of Derek, the first victim, who once was their friend -- even if they never keep in touch, but Derek must be in the news once or twice, right? He is a DA for years. Why didn't they surprised/knew her before?. Maybe I miss some hints. But it's still good :) Blutige Stufen“ ist extrem brutal und weiß Gott nichts für schwache Nerven. Aber spannend von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite. Absolut empfehlenswert! best of ξανά στα μέσα. Γιατί ο άνθρωπος συμμετέχει σε κάτι που θα οδηγήσει στον θάνατο; Πόσο σημαντικό για τις ζωές μας είναι να γίνει viral κάτι από αυτά που εμείς θα ανεβάσουμε; Με τις ανατριχιαστικές αυτές σκέψεις, ο συγγραφέας δείχνει τον βαθμό χειραγώγησης της κοινής γνώμης. Μια λεζάντα αποτυπώνει εμμέσως το μήνυμα στον εγκέφαλο κι ο αναγνώστης δε χρειάζεται να διαβάσει το άρθρο ή να υπεισέλθει σε λεπτομέρειες: η φήμη αρκεί και έχει μεγάλη ισχύ. Κι αυτό σε συνδυασμό με το ότι η κοινωνία σήμερα γουστάρει να καθορίζει τι θα συμβεί στις ζωές των άλλων (δείτε πόσο μεγάλη απήχηση έχει η ψηφοφορία σε παιχνίδια τύπου Big Brother) δίνει άφθονη τροφή στον ψυχοπαθή δολοφόνο και βασανιστή. «Το πρόβλημα είναι ο λόγος που τα ριάλιτι είναι τόσο δημοφιλή και υπάρχει τόσο μεγάλη ποικιλία τους στην τηλεόραση. Είναι σχεδιασμένα ώστε να δίνουν στον κόσμο την ψευδαίσθηση της δύναμης. Της δύναμης να ελέγξουν τι θα συμβεί σε μια δεδομένη κατάσταση. Της δύναμης να επιλέξουν τη μοίρα κάποιου ατόμου, ας πούμε. Και αυτή η δύναμη είναι εθιστική» (σελ. 131). Επιπλέον, ο συγγραφέας κατάφερε με απλό τρόπο να μου δείξει πώς γίνεται να ανέβει κάτι στο Διαδίκτυο χωρίς να εντοπιστεί, μέσω διαδικασιών πολύπλοκων μεν, εύληπτων όμως μέσα από το κείμενο.

I also liked the character of Whitney Myers and the factors that led her to become what she later became. I don't want to include any spoilers in case you ever give it a try. When the forensic team reaches the spot for doing further investigation, they find that the letter ‘3’ was carved in blood on the chest of the victim. Robert Hunter initially believes that the killing was ritualistic. But when more and more dead bodies begin to surface after being murdered in a similar manner, he is forced to think otherwise. Omiljeni mi knjiški istražitelj, Robert Hanter i njegov verni Sančo Pansa, Karlos Garsija dobijaju novi zadatak, da pronađu brutalnog ubicu, koji za sobom ostavlja skulpture od žrtvinih delova tela. Ovaj mali trag koji sam vam dala može vam delimično otkriti koliko je ovaj nastavak jeziv.

Table of Contents

Izlišno je pisati bilo šta o radnji, reći ću samo da vas ovde čeka novi posao za omiljeni mi knjiški, istražiteljski dvojac, a slučaj koji ovde dobijaju, ništa manje nije jeziv i brutalan od prethodnih, te se pripremite na još krvi, misterije, psiholoških igara i ne tako prijatnih scena sa mesta zločina. De schrijfstijl is wederom erg prettig, net zoals de korte hoofdstukken! Ik moet wel eerlijk zeggen dat ik het tweede deel van de serie nog steeds het allerbeste vind, maar ook dit verhaal stelt je zeker niet teleur als je van bloederige moorden houdt. Ook het einde vond ik zeker verrassend. Ik had de dader deze keer niet geraden, dus pluspunten! Lucien Folter ist dem Leser der Reihe kein Unbekannter, in „Die stille Bestie“ ist er der brutale Gegenspieler von Hunter. Für mich war „Die stille Bestie“ bisher der beste Teil der Reihe und so freute ich mich natürlich darauf, dass die Geschichte um Hunter und Folter weitergeht. Allerdings konnte dieser Teil meine vielleicht zu Hohen Erwartungen nicht ganz erfüllen. I ovde mi je falilo malo razvoja Hanterovog ličnog života, a imamo podsećanja na činjenice iz prethodnih romana, tako da se ovaj može čitati zasebno, ukoliko ste propustili prethodnike.

Als positive Notiz zum Abschluss möchte ich sagen, dass das Buch bisweilen schon Spaß gemacht hat und zumindest so spannend war, dass man gerne weiterlesen mochte. Man kommt gut rein und es ist einfach zu lesen. Manchmal fast zu einfach – ein großer Literat isser halt nicht, der Chris. A serial killer is at work. Not just any serial killer, but one that puts the power and choices in the hands of the public. Broadcasting live on the internet, this serial killer asks the general public to vote on which more horrific manner of death they want a total stranger to undergo. And vote they do. Human beings voting to see a horrific death. For me personally, this overstepped the mark. It was just too gruesome especially given the motive. This is the work of a psychopath and someone devoid of human emotion, remorse, or empathy, not the work of a vengeful person no matter what drove them to seek retribution.Robertas supranta, jog tokį disciplinuotą bei kelis žingsnius į priekį apsvarstantį serijinį žudiką sučiupti lengva nebus. Tačiau jis neturi kito pasirinkimo.. The only difference was that Hunter got to know a woman and possibly will have a more stable relationship for some time and even though I wanted that for him I can't say I liked her or that I felt who they started to fall in love with each other. It made me feel nothing the three times they interacted during the story and at some I was like "oh great another murder so their meeting will be cut short!" I got more feelings while Hunter comforted a relative of the victim than when he met the woman he is going to have a relationship with.

Commander Barbara Blake is brought in to help with the case when they dig further into the identity of the girls they find that all of them are artists of some sort, another body is found but the calling card has changed then Commander Blake disappears this time Hunter will stop at nothing until he finds her what happens from here on is a cat & mouse game between the perp & Hunter.But, it was quite unbelievable because the Crucifix Killer was arrested and executed around a couple of years go. The police as well as Robert Hunter begins to think whether someone else is trying to copy the killing styles of the Crucifix Killer or he is still away from the reach of them. Coerced into making a disturbing choice, Hunter sits through and watches as an unidentified victim is tortured and murdered live on live stream. S druge strane, sada već prepoznatljiv stil pisanja i kratka poglavlja koja se završavaju onda kada vas najviše interesuje šta je bilo dalje, ne dozvoljavaju da se ovaj roman ispušta iz ruku. Čitate, zgražavate se nad zločninima, a istovremeno i divite Hanterovim sposobnostima i umeću, načinu rada, po ko zna koji put. This was an absolutely dark, gritty, gory and twisted (when it comes to the MO of the killer, the motivation isn't really twisted - like I said sometimes the killer is relatable) book. Definitely not for the faint-hearted. As always, there are several red herrings given, to throw readers off from the real killer and the real reason of the murders. However, I find it very interesting, that the victims were not as 'innocent' as they seemed to be. The victims were all 'noble' and 'good' people in the public's eyes. One was a former DA, one was a former LAPD Detective, and the other one was a psychologist. The reason on why they were killed lies in their past ... and I couldn't help to think that they deserved their current fate.
