What looks like a horrific killing on the surface soon becomes part of a string of brutal slayings with a focus on the deepest fears of the victims.

Working with a new captain, Hunter must adapt his unorthodox style while still cracking the case wide open. As more bodies emerge, Hunter and Garcia to use all the resources at their disposal, including a teenager who has visions of the slaying before they happen.

What they find creates a backstory that neither expected to discover. With great cliffhangers at the end of each chapter, Carter hooks the reader early and won't let go until all is revealed.
Sure to keep the reader up well into the night, Carter's fan club will grow exponentially by the end of the story.Carter not only entertains with his writing, but offers a strong social commentary on a deeply concerning issue. Weaving one of the most powerful serial killer plots I've read in years, Carter pulls no punches.
His attention to detail brings the story to life, with stomach-churning detail and narration. No reader will put this book down and feel it is too superficial, as they fly through chapters at the speed of light. Carter is an author that ought to be placed on the radar of readers interested in the likes of John Verdon and John Case, who paved the way in the genre.Kudos, Mr.
Carter for such a powerful book. I could not put it down when I started and am so happy to have stumbled upon your collection of novels.

I loved the partnership between Robert Hunter and Carlos Garcia and would probably say that they are my favourite cop duo. Thoroughly enjoyed this book and would seriously recommend it to lovers of this genre.
Looking forward to reading 'I am Death'!!!!!

As Hunter and his partner with a new captain are racing to capture the culprit who can certainly not be denied some sort of originality albeit of the worst variety, the encounter a young girl that may or may not have an insight in their killer.But because of the coverage on the case another monster is awakened and starts his killing spree with a clear goal.Once again a great thriller that with the short chapters makes it a fun a fast read. It is original and well written, even if the bad female reporter feels like a cliche, she is well used for the purpose of the story.I would advise anybody to read this series and keep hold of your breakfast, lunch or dinner as the writer does deliver on plenty of gore.
Do not read the series in one go it might reflect on your social behaviour as the monster that chased are as gruesome as they come.Highest marks. In the second book of the Robert Hunter series, Hunter and his partner, Carlos Garcia, are faced with capturing one of the most vicious serial killers they have ever come across. Be warned, the crime scenes are very gruesome and should be read only by someone with a strong stomach. The Executioner is killing people who don't seem to have anything in common and he's doing it in ways that match each of the victim's biggest fear.

Be warned, the crime scenes are very gruesome and should be read only by someone with a strong stomach. The Executioner is killing people who don't seem to have anything in common and he's doing it in ways that match each of the victim's biggest fear. Each victim is marked with a number drawn in blood so it's up to Hunter and Garcia to find out who the remaining victims are before the Executioner gets to them.This is a fantastic novel. Robert Hunter is a very smart, very realistic character.
His partnership with Garcia is well-written but I hope in the future books, Carlos takes some of the lead instead of always being the follower. The secondary characters were very well done and the ending is never telegraphed along the way. The chapters are all short and designed to keep you reading. You can tell the author was a criminal psychologist before he switched careers. His ability to get into the mind of the killer and his motive was exceptional. I don't normally give five star ratings to a graphic serial killer novels but I feel like The Executioner more than met the five star bar.
4 STARSI had to give myself a couple of days after finishing the books before I wrote this review.This is the second book I’ve read of this author. If I had to give him a rating for the story alone, it would be a solid 5 stars. He’s inventive with his murders, his writing is comfortable to read in the sense that he doesn’t use big or foreign words, which makes it easy and enjoyable, and he manages to hide his killer until late in the book. More than that, I think he’s a damn good writer.However 4 STARSI had to give myself a couple of days after finishing the books before I wrote this review.This is the second book I’ve read of this author.

More than that, I think he’s a damn good writer.Howeverand this is the part I feel very conflicted about, because I don’t know if it’s only a personal preference thing or if others have the same criticism. After all, he is a best-selling author!In most cases, short chapters usually mean a faster read. Many would agree that James Patterson is the absolute master of the short chapter, ending each one well enough to want to make you read just one more. Carter, on the other hand, overdoes it, in my opinion.I’ll have to explain this using television as an example.
Nearly everybody knows about the moment they call “the pregnant pause”. It’s that moment when somebody is about to say or do something that will have a huge effect on the story, so they fade out and give you an ad break.Now, imagine a conversation between two actors on a show you are watching, which lasts about five minutes.
Will two ad breaks in that five minutes frustrate you?And that is the point I’m trying to make. Carter does not need to chop up a single conversation – let’s say 6 pages – into three chapters. It messes with the flow of the story and starts to feel like an obstacle course you have to go through to get to the point. In this sense, I think it achieves exactly the opposite of what it’s supposed to: it makes it feel longer than it is.Having said that, I’m still a fan of Chris Carter. His stories are twisted and I can’t fault him on them.
What another fantastic book by Chris Carter. This bloke sure knows how to write gruesome, stomach churning scenes I actually felt quite sick reading some of the methods of torture and killings that were used in this story.A serial killer on the loose who preys on the victims worst fears to torture and kill them, Carters description made you feel the pain that the victim was going through or had gone through, there were times I was glad we only got a description of the aftermath and not first What another fantastic book by Chris Carter. If you don't mind gritty books, this is an excellent crime series. A good group of characters has been pulled together, and a very interesting main character in Robert Hunter. The author also gets the reader fully involved in the story by leaving plenty of clues. Originally I thought I had the killer identified but towards the end I realised it wasn't him but the clues were all out there.
I thoroughly recommend this series. If you don't mind gritty books, this is an excellent crime series. A good group of characters has been pulled together, and a very interesting main character in Robert Hunter.

But as more bodies surface, he is forced to reassess.
All the victims died in the way they feared the most. Their worst nightmares have literally come true. But how could the killer have known?
And what links these apparently random victims? Hunter finds himself on the trail of an elusive and sadistic killer, someone who apparently has the power to read his victims' minds. Someone who can sense what scares his victims the most.My Views:This series is not for the faint of heart or those with a weak stomach. I have neither so needless to say I have enjoyed both this book and the first in the series The Crucifix Killer. The plot is well woven with clues and misdirections.which I have to admit I fell for hook, line and sinker. All the chapters are short, so don't let the 143 chapters be a turn off. Each and every one has a cliffhanger ending that will drive you on to the next and the next and the next.
I recommend the Hunter Series to anyone that loves a physiological thriller and is not bothered by graphic murder scenes. Much better - more coherent, tighter book than the first Robert Hunter novel. The point of view - which was jarring in the first book - is more focused (although still not what I prefer) and even the dialogue was better. That said, Hunter is still the rainmaker - brilliant, practically flawless - which doesn't make him really sympathetic, and he always has an ace up his sleeve, which makes him annoying.

If he can get out of any situation, what is there to be afraid of (that second set of handcuff keys made me roll my eyes)?What sold the story for me was the case, or better said, the investigation. I find the nuances of police work very interesting, especially when it's done realistically (that too improved in this book).
The murders won't be for the faint of the heart, so be warned.I like when author's next book is better than the last. If Carter keeps that trend, he will have a faithful reader in me. His books won't change the world, but they certainly can change a boring afternoon. I had high hopes for this book following the first and I was not disappointed in any way. In fact, I can honestly say I enjoy the series so much that it has taken up the position of my second favourite crime series. In case you’re curious as to what my first is, it’s Sharon Bolton’s Lacey Flint series which I highly recommend.

Still, if you haven’t jumped into the Robert Hunter books I highly recommend you do.Throughout you’re faced with twists and turns, questions going unanswered until the right moment. Unlike a number of crime books which I have read over the last few months this one is not predictable: throughout you are second guessing everything, your ideas changing as more information comes out in the open. Finding a crime series in which I do not work things out before the end is always great, hence why I recommend these so highly.
Moreover, there’s some laughter in there too – so that you’re not constantly stuck in the darkness of the crime.Honestly, if you’re a crime fan pick up the Robert Hunter series: I assure you, you will not regret it! Well, another great read. The overall story was better than the first book BUT if you are like myself who loves old 80's horror / slasher movies you will work out the motive quite quickly haha. There was a character introduced that helped the cops with her 'visions', could have been awkward seeing as this series doesn't have fantastical elements but I felt it worked well enough.The good thing is you where kept guessing who the killer was which was made more difficult due to the inclusion of Well, another great read.

Lastly, a criticism, please, please stop describing people running their hands through their hair or over their faces every other paragraph haha:). Another outing for Robert Hunter and LAPD's Special Homicide Division. Pretty much more of the same, following on from Book one, so ever-more gruesome ways for a fiendish serial murderer to wreak vengeance on those responsible for making him/her into a killer.I love the criminal psychology that makes up so much of Carter's books, and how he manages to humanise the monsters of his creation, who have good reasons for what they do.

Still too much unnecessary descriptive detail and clunky dialogue, but the story is compelling. I'd guessed the killer's identity b before the end- Carter needs more red herring characters- but that didn't spoil my enjoyment because finding out Why is as important as Whodunnit.I'm moving straight on to the next book in the series so Chris Carter must be doing something right. I read the Chris Carter’s debut novel The Crucifix Killer before starting this one. I was so taken with it and the characters (Det. Robert Hunter and his partner Garcia) that I immediately started on book 2.
With Carter’s history of studying psychology and criminal behaviour there is a real authenticity to his books along with characters that are extremely likeable. Robert Hunter and his partner Garcia start this book with attending a crime scene inside a Los Angeles church. Very early on it I read the Chris Carter’s debut novel The Crucifix Killer before starting this one.

Robert Hunter and his partner Garcia start this book with attending a crime scene inside a Los Angeles church.
Very early on it became clear that this book was going to be a lot more gruesome than the first. As you read Hunter and Garcia’s take on the murder scene my stomach started turning as each part of the scene was explained with frightening clarity!Initially it looks to be a ritualistic killing but of course within another few chapters the appearance of another body puts paid to that theory. Once again Hunter and Garcia are chasing a serial killer.
Although I really like Hunter and Garcia, it seems like we are too early in the series to get a real sense of their personal lives. I like to get to know characters to make sure they can stand the test of time, so on that front this was a bit lacking in this current book, but I expect that to improve with books 3 and 4!The characters aside, the story is what really grips you by short and curlys. As more and more bodies pile up it appears that this serial killer is making people suffer. All of his victims die from the one thing that they are scared to death of.
As each body is found the gore and violence ratchets up a notch. It’s not to say it was too bad to read, but this certainly isn’t for the weak stomached.
I found myself feeling a little bit like I was being watched when I was reading late and night, and to be frank it gave me the ‘heebie jeebies’. I took this as a good sign and continued reading to the conclusion in the early hours of the morning.Overall, this was slightly more graphic than the first book, but as stories go was just as good. I like the two lead characters but definitely want to see a bit more of their persona lives to see if they can stand up to the competition, and to the test of time. Certainly an author I’m looking forward to reading more of! This book was brutal!!!! Most of the crime books I read naturally have some violence in them but this one wasNow I'm sure some of the people reading this will think this book was mild compared to others but please note that I am a chicken!Don't take this to mean that I didn't like this book, I thought it was awesome and Chris Carter has a way with words, the man can certainly paint a picture which makes for some very vivid imagining of certain scenes‘Inside a Los Angeles church, on the altar This book was brutal!!!!

The second book of the Robert Hunter series, and just as violent as the first. It seems like Chris Carter must take lessons from Stephen King to come up with some of his scenarios - they're pretty terrifying. This story fortifies an old theory of mine - if you want to make a villain more evil, just add in some good old time religion.This book was very exciting, and hard to put down.

My only disappointment was the introduction of psychic abilities from dreams to help solve the crime. I find that introducing this type of power in a serious story is a type of crutch in that it allows the author to solve any mystery by using the power that is not constrained by mere science or common sense. It's OK in a fantasy genre book, but a bit out of place in a serious mystery. But it's a minor quibble. I just pretend that it's possible, because.
Well, who knows what's possible? Is the 2nd book in the Robert Hunter series. As with the first book, the murders are described in detail with none of the brutality and gore held back. Consequently, this book is definitely not for the faint of heart or those who are a bit squeamish.The book opens with the first murder – a priest has been killed and is discovered on the blood-soaked altar steps inside his church.

There are ritualistic undertones with designs in the blood as well as the fact that the priest’s head has been replaced with that of a dog’s. (see what I mean about gory?). But, this is only the first of several murders – all different, but all equally savage and disturbing.The book was well-written and a good read.

The story had very good pacing which kept you turning the pages. The main characters, Detectives Hunter and Garcia are likable, interesting and good at their jobs. Despite the heavy storyline, there is also a good bit of humor that often made me chuckle.
I will definitely continue with the series.Rating: 4 Stars. I'm glad I continued this series. The Executioner was much better than The Crucifix Killer. The story was more plausible, the writting more sharp and compact. Fast paced with no long winded paragraphs and dragging bits.It starts with the decapitated body of a priest found in a church. The head is replaced by a dog's, making it look like a ritualistic killing.
