Night Stalker by Chris Carter (Robert Hunter, Book 3)

Night Stalker is the 3rd book in the Robert Hunter series by Chris Carter. This series is definitely not for the faint of heart. Detective Robert Hunter and his partner, Detective Carlos Garcia, are members of the Los Angeles Homicide Special Section. The crimes that they investigate are the most heinous, sadistic of murders and often those of serial killers.

In this story, a woman’s body has been discovered. It is unclear as to how she died as the body has no marks but her most intimate parts have been stitched shut…to hold what the killer has put inside the body. More bodies turn up with similar MOs and the race is on to stop the killer before he kills again.

Though gruesome, these books are well-written and very suspenseful. The two detectives are great as are some of the supporting characters. This wasn’t as good as the first two books in the series but this is definitely a series I’m interested in continuing.

Rating: 3.5 stars
