The identity of the killer is a bit surprising ... but at the same time, makes me a bit confused Especially for Andrew's murder, when Olivia posed as mechanic ... was she really that strong that she could broke Andrew's jaw? And didn't these man ever saw her before, considering that Olivia was the daughter of Derek, the first victim, who once was their friend -- even if they never keep in touch, but Derek must be in the news once or twice, right? He is a DA for years. Why didn't they surprised/knew her before?. Maybe I miss some hints. But it's still good :) Robert Hunter, Profiler beim LAPD jagt mit seinem Partner Garcia die grausamsten Killer. Der schlimmste von ihm ist Lucien Folter, ein hochintelligenter, gewaltbereiter Serienkiller. Als Lucien es schafft aus der Sicherungsverwahrung auszubrechen beginnt er ein grausames Spiel mit Hunter. Wird Hunter es schaffen und Lucien besiegen können? I wish that I had been able to hold off a little longer, because I would still be excited about it, and not as disappointed as I am. That being said, Genesis, the 12th book in the Robert Hunter series, was as deliciously good and chilling as its predecessors. The movie "Untraceable" was released in 2008 and starred Diane Lane. It had the exact same plot, in which a killer broadcasts his murders over the internet. This book was published in 2013, five years later. The killers in both even have the same motive! This book skates uncomfortably close to outright plagiarism!

S druge strane, sada već prepoznatljiv stil pisanja i kratka poglavlja koja se završavaju onda kada vas najviše interesuje šta je bilo dalje, ne dozvoljavaju da se ovaj roman ispušta iz ruku. Čitate, zgražavate se nad zločninima, a istovremeno i divite Hanterovim sposobnostima i umeću, načinu rada, po ko zna koji put. There will certainly be funny troll comment sections both with the live stream and later when the final video is uploaded. The role of media has a big impact on the psychological dynamic of victim, Hunter, the audience, and the killer, whose motivation turns out to be a bit maybe over the top exaggerated, but somewhat understandable. This book will not be for everyone, I totally appreciate that. There are some strong themes of suicide and mental health throughout the story and I think that the author did a wonderful job with it. The dedication at the start is beautiful and made me cry even before I started to read it, The end of the book has details of helplines for those who are struggling. As someone who has needed these resources in the past.. thank you Chris. Such and important message.

At the time of publication this short story was able to preview book one and give a brief taster to the next book in the series. Detective Robert Hunter has long been a valuable member of the Ultra Violent Crime division of LAPD Homicide, investigating the most heinous crimes committed. While this may be the case, he has always seen it eat away at his inner self, which leaves Hunter to wonder how much energy he has left.

A wiki walk can be as refreshing to the mind as a walk through nature in this completely overrated real life outside books: In this book we have victims who kind of die by their own hands. It is so unique and different and again so well explained. They are all entertainers and they all look alike. Hunter is of course on the hunt for the perpetrator and the way to catch him is to understand him and the reasoning behind the crimes. Lucien Folter ist dem Leser der Reihe kein Unbekannter, in „Die stille Bestie“ ist er der brutale Gegenspieler von Hunter. Für mich war „Die stille Bestie“ bisher der beste Teil der Reihe und so freute ich mich natürlich darauf, dass die Geschichte um Hunter und Folter weitergeht. Allerdings konnte dieser Teil meine vielleicht zu Hohen Erwartungen nicht ganz erfüllen. knyga jau yra penktoji, kurioje pagrindinius vaidmenis užima detektyvas Robertas Hanteris bei jo kolega Karlosas Garsija. Šį kartą į Los Andželo policijos departamentą paskambina nepažįstamasis, tačiau jis skambina ne bet kam, o tiesiogiai Robertui Hanteriui. Paslaptingasis žmogus Robertui pasiūlo užsukti į jo interneto puslapį, kuriame vyksta tiesioginė transliacija. O transliacija ne šiaip sau.. Tai tikrų tikriausia egzekucija. Policija bendradarbiauja ir su FTB, jie stengiasi visomis išgalėmis susekti šio įrašo kaltininką, tačiau jie atsitrenkia tarsi į sieną. Paaiškėja, jog nepažįstamasis labai gudrus ir atrodo, jog visuomet policiją lenkia bent vienu žingsniu..I always look forward to reading this series, it is so consistently good and always succeeds in leaving me in awe. This series of books have good characters, unusual plots and are full of blood tingling descriptive text, certainly not for the fainthearted. Mord für Mord steigert sich in meinen Augen die Kreativität der Tötungen und ich habe mich als Leserin oft gefragt „Wie kommt man nur auf so eine kranke Idee?“ Verujte mi, ova je od onih knjiga koje se čitaju za dan, dva, jer vam uzbuđenje, interesovanje koje izaziva i radoznalost ne daju da je ispuštate iz ruku! Wrong floor, kid,’ Wilson said, pointing at the door again. ‘This is the Robbery Homicide Division – the big boys. You’re probably looking for Commercial Crimes or Support. Both of those are two floors below.’ In this story also a great part of the motive concerns people and their use of social media which I could do with out since it was already used in another story.

The plot is fantastic, paced well from the start, the dialogue is great, the characters really shine, the story reveals itself bit by bit but you really are kept guessing for the majority of the book, no clues as to the killer's identity or indeed if Robert Hunter is going to get even close to capturing the killer in time before more and more lives are lost in this most barbaric of ways. The idea of hiding secret messages in any creative piece is an old one, but imagining a real serial killer who does it for fun, ecstasy, celebrating her or his ingenuity or the mentioned vengeance is a new, interesting form of evil. Of course, it would lead to the same modern art disputes as seen around the world, the one describing it as something each low IQed, primitive, animalistic hillbilly killer could do, while others see it as the next big thing of a truly sophisticated murder genius. Probably both of the groups won´t really bother much with thinking about the victims and be more obsessed with talking about the ingenuity of the next big killing installation. Die Anrufe und Spielchen des Mörders haben mich ein wenig an die Saw Teile erinnert. Die Szenen sind durchaus sehr blutig und brutal beschrieben, wer also etwas sensibel ist, der sollte vielleicht nicht zu dieser Reihe greifen. Für alle anderen - greift unbedingt zu! An unidentifiable body - it’s mouth carefully stitched shut - is discovered laid out on a slab in an abandoned butcher’s shop. When the full autopsy gets underway at the Los Angeles County morgue the true horror of the situation is revealed - a discovery so devastating that Detective Robert Hunter of the Los Angeles Homicide Special Section has to be pulled off a different case to take over the investigation. Soon Hunter finds himself on the hunt for a murder with a warped obsession, a stalker for whom love becomes hate.Man "Genezė" - labiausiai patikusi, didžiausią įspūdį palikusi ir stipriausiai prikausčiusi serijos knyga 🖤 Nėra vertinimo skalėje tiek ⭐, kad atspindėtų knygos sukeltas mintis ir jausmus. Before I wanted to study animal care I liked the idea of being a Homicide detective or CSI, now I’m glad I’m not because I have nothing but respect for the men and women that have that profession. No therapist in the world could help with the horrors they must see and they have more courage and guts than most. I couldn’t love this book anymore and it up is up there with The Caller for my favourite in this series. A wiki walk can be as refreshing to the mind as a walk through nature in this completely overrated real life outside books: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_... You have got to be kidding me,’ Detective Scott Wilson of the LAPD Robbery Homicide Division said, as if he’d just heard the world’s unfunniest joke.
