* Don't miss 'THE CHEMISTRY OF DEATH' TV SERIES - now streaming on Paramount+ *
Adapted from The Chemistry of Death and Written in Bone - starring Harry Treadaway as Dr David Hunter
'As bone-chillingly bleak as its subject . . . this doesn't disappoint' Financial Times
A serial killer is on the loose and David Hunter suddenly finds that the past is far from dead and buried.
The escape of a psychotic rapist and multiple murderer brings DI Terry Connor to David Hunter's doorstep, years after their bitter rift.
This unwelcome reminder of the past forces Hunter to confront the situation at hand: eight years earlier Hunter and an ill-fated Body Recovery team, has tried to find the graves of Monk's teenage victims on the bleak expanse of Dartmoor.
Only one of the missing girls' bodies was ever found.
Suddenly Hunter receives an appeal from Sophie Keller, a young woman who also worked on the operation, and nothing is quite as it seems. Hunter is forced to question who he can really trust.
Especially when his own life depends on it.
Customer Reviews
I have to give 5* but...
I have to give 5* because I kept picking the book up to read ‘just a bit more’ in any free few minutes I had. It’s well written and easy to read and follow.
The first two or three David Hunter books I read were truly excellent, worthy of 5*++. The one set in America and this one were slightly disappointing ... but only in comparison.
The plot is perhaps more obviously flimsy and improbable than the earlier ones I read but it was still very enjoyable.
Scoobie Doo
Fourth one I’ve read in this series, and finally got bored with the Scoobie Doo type denouement at the end. Breathless, over detailed “action” bits that the author clearly enjoyed writing, but all got a bit clichéd. Sorry. Can’t believe I read 4.
Amazing
One again another brilliant effort in this episode of dr hunter's life, your cleverly led to believe you've worked it all out, the thrown a curve ball and have to re-evaluate it, excellent book, absolutely a must!
