Summary:

‘Thirty-seven years in the force, and if I was allowed to choose just one thing to erase from my mind, what’s inside that room would be it.’

That’s what a LAPD Lieutenant tells Detectives Hunter and Garcia of the Ultra Violent Crimes Unit as they arrive at one of the most shocking crime scenes they have ever attended. 

In a completely unexpected turn of events, the detectives find themselves joining forces with the FBI to track down a serial killer whose hunting ground sees no borders; a psychopath who loves what he does because to him murder is much more than just killing – it’s an art form.

Welcome to The Gallery of the Dead.

Review:

This is another thrilling and tension-filled instalment of the Robert Hunter series and is just as gruesome and propulsive as the rest. This one has a seriously creepy perpetrator as usual, and the FBI were also involved in this case, which is unlike most of the previous books in the series and gave it a slightly different, but no less intriguing, feel. It’s always fun to jump back in with Hunter and his partner, Garcia, especially feeling like I know their characters well by now. We also meet up again with some other characters that we’ve met in previous books and that play an interesting part as Gallery of the Dead unfolds. Overall this is another solidly entertaining instalment in this intense and dramatic series. The very end of the book also includes a little clue to what the plot of the next book will be and I’m seriously looking forward to diving into that one too. 

★★★★
