Good read. The Calling of the Grave opens eight years earlier when forensic anthropologist David Hunter's wife and daughter were still alive. He is requested to attend a grave of a body buried on Dartmoor. Police believe it may belong to one of the victims of Jerome Monk who was jailed for the murder of four young women. Even though Monk has confessed he refuses to reveal where the other three girls are buried. Hunter get to Dartmoor where he joins the investigation. One of the team, a young BIA investigator named Sophie Keller, establishes a rapport with Monk. The investigators determine the body in the grave is one of Monk's victims and try to persuade him to help them find the other bodies but Monk escapes, is recaptured, and the search comes to an end. David returns to London where his wife and daughter are soon killed in a car accident. The book now picks up at present day where David is contacted by Sophie who asks for his help as she is clearly frightened of something. When Hunter arrives at the pub she's selected, Sophie does not turn up so he drives to her house to find she's been attacked. Added to that comes the news that Monk has escaped again. David stays with Sophie while she recuperates and she becomes obsessed with the old case. The constantly annoying Sophie is obviously hiding a secret and David sticks along for the ride. The book is well researched and the plot is fast paced but I didn't like it as much as the prior books in the series. David is a smart man but he makes so many bad decisions it's hard to root for him. However, Beckett really knows how to capture the reader's attention and I look forward to more books in this particular series. In this tale we finally find out what happened to Dr. David Hunter's wife and daughter while we are taken on a trip down memory land. We also get to take part in the search for a violent killer who has escaped police custody during a search for the victims' bodies that were never found at the time of the defendant's trial. However, all is not as it seems, and secrets held by many lead finally to the truth, although it is too late for some. It was another interesting story in this series. Das Gute an diesem Buch ist: Es ist nicht ganz so eklig wie die letzten. Was an sich etwas schade ist, man erwartet es bei diesem Auto gerade zu. Der Autor fährt nach dem gleichen Schema fort wie sonst: David Hunter fährt in eine isolierte Kleinstadt, trifft alte Bekannte, es knistert zwischen ihm und einer Figur, und einer von dem man es nicht denkt ist der Mörder. Die Auflösung, dass das Monster gar keines ist ist zwar hübsch, aber auch nicht neu. Das Buch unterhält, mehr aber auch nicht. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
Eight years ago they found a teenager's body buried on the moor, and they were certain that it was one of psychotic rapist and multiple murderer Jerome Monk's three victims. Which left two more bodies to find. But the search, ill-conceived, ended badly. For forensics expert David Hunter, life moved on. Now, though, a nightmare scenario unfurls. Monk has escaped and seems to be targeting anyone involved in that original ill-fated operation. Lured back to the moors, Hunter begins to realise that things aren't quite as they seemed. As the maniac's violent trail edges ever closer, the past is suddenly anything but dead and buried... Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
