review 1: Stone Bruises is a very fast paced novel, and the adrenaline filled en media res acts as a great hook and sets the pacing for the story. I thought that the revelation of Sean’s backstory was done in a way that keeps readers intrigued, but doesn’t leave them feeling like there is ...

review 1: This book was pretty good, along the same lines as the first two in this series. I believe that the narration from the point of view of the perpetrator was completely unnecessary and it would have been a better book without it. As this book is set in the US, the author should hav...

review 1: A disappointing installment in the David Hunter series. There's some good storytelling here. However, the protagonist, who has been a smart guy in other books, spends almost all of these pages being led around by his nether head. The woman doing the leading clearly has a hidden a...

review 1: Ich habe nun schon oft gelesen, dass Simon Beckett außerhalb der David Hunter-Reihe nicht so toll sein soll. Daher bin etwas skeptisch an das Buch herangegangen, denn bisher kannte ich auch nur die David Hunter-Bücher. Ich wurde allerdings sehr überrascht: "Tiere" ist mal ein gan...

review 1: Ich habe das Buch in 5-6 Tagen gelesen. Es war kein Thriller, definitiv nicht. Ich glaube, es ist bis Seite 350 gar nichts aufregendes passiert, die schwammige Vergangenheit der Hauptperson Sean sorgt aber dafür, dass man weiterlesen möchte, um mehr zu erfahren. Der Schreibstil i...

review 1: Well written but I soon lost interest. No twists, no mystery. Meh.Why the German book? I bought this as a Christmas present for my mom some years ago. She's recently been obsessed (harrdeeharr...) with his other books and couldn't remember that she already had read this one here....

review 1: Detta är bok nummer tre i serien om rättsantropologen David Hunter. Jag var mycket förtjust i både Dödens kemi och Skrivet i eld, så förväntningarna var höga när jag äntligen kunde hämta ut Dödens viskningar på biblioteket. Den här gången utspelar sig boken på andra sidan Atlante...

review 1: As a huge fan of mystery and thrillers, I bought this book recently on a book fair . I've never heard of this author before, but after this one, I'm gonna get some more of his books. The story itself kept me awake almost entire night, it was gripping and creepy and unpredictable ...

review 1: Trzeci już tom cyklu o antropologu sądowym Davidzie Hunterze udowadnia, że Beckett zna swój fach i potrafi utrzymać poziom cyklu. Tym razem Hunter trafia do USA, co nie oznacza, że nastrój powieści będzie odbiegał od tego, do którego przyzwyczaił czytelników autor. Jest brytyjsko...

review 1: This was a pretty fast-paced who-done-it mystery. I enjoyed that it took place on the moors in the UK - it evoked a lot of great visions about what it looked like, shrouded in fog much of the time. The writing was quite British - used quite a few words that were non-US English ...

review 1: This was a great mystery story, well written with lots of plot twists and turns, as well as a central character who is a forensic anthrpologist. What's not to like? I really enjoyed the book and had difficulty putting it down. I will be picking up thise author's other books wi...

review 1: Well after the third book wasn’t as good as the second one I hoped that this one will be better again. But to be honest I was a little bit disappointed. This book is less about David Hunter as forensic anthropologist but more about him as a person. First, it plays in the past, wh...
