Hunting Evil

Great writer. Hard to find. Loved every page

Chris Carter has the chilling ability to keep you turning the pages even when you are terrified about what happens next. Poor Hunter has to find Lucien again after having caught him 3 years previously!! The evil just oozes out of Lucien and is poured all over Hunter, who not only has to fight for his sanity, but find a way to capture Lucien yet again. Thrilling, chilling and un-put-down able!!!!!

[Snack-Size Review] Hunting Evil (Hunter #10), by Chris Carter What It’s About: When Lucien Folter (the serial killer with the titular evil mind of the sixth book in this series) escapes from maximum security, he has one mission in mind: Get revenge on Robert Hunter, through any and all means at his disposal. And since he’s a super genius, there are plenty of those. A Word From The Nerd: If you’ve read my earlier review, you know that An Evil Mind was one of the weaker entries in this series. So I went into this one with lowered expectations which may have helped? In any case, there were a lot more action-y twists in this one, and Garcia & Hunter’s rapport is better than ever. That said, Mr. Carter is back to his he-man woman-hatin ways, and let’s just say that he didn’t exactly fridge a certain female character, but he might as well have. This is my disappointed face. The Nerd’s Rating: FOUR HAPPY NEURONS (and a trip to an Alice In Wonderland themed bar, it sounds like my kinda place.)

Easy read with unbelievable endings every time! One of my favorite books! I wish I could forget I read this book entirely just to get the feeling of reading it again for the first time!

Absolutely the best book to date, this author keeps smashing these stories out like tainted nightmares that keep us up & reading with the lights on, or off, if your brave enough!

Chris Carter's books suck you in from the very first page, and this one is no different! Huge fan of his books and this did not disappoint! 100% recommend

I had to get a hold of it when released. The best book by Chris Carter so far. Looking forward to the next one

the finale against lucien had so much potential but the book was rather boring.pales in comprison to other installments of the hunter series.

Endlich ist er da, der neue Thriller aus der Hunter & Garcia Reihe. Eine Krimireihe, die meiner Meinung nach süchtig macht. Ich habe ihn vorab schon einmal auf Englisch bestellt. Hunters bester Freund aus Studientagen,der hochintelligente Psychopath Lucien Folter, konnte aus dem Hochsicherheitsgefängnis ausbrechen und liefert sich nun mit Hunter ein mörderisches und grausames Spiel. Unterstützt werden die beiden Detectives dabei von FBI Agenten und einem US-Marshall. Was soll man zu Chris Carters Büchern schreiben? Sie sind einfach spitzenklasse. Die kurzen Kapitel enden meist mit einem Cliffhänger, der aber immer wieder sehr zeitnah aufgelöst werden und so die Spannung immer weiter nach oben treibt. Der Schreibstil ist sehr flüssig und lässt einen sofort ins Geschehen eintauchen. Es gibt absolut keine Längen, jede Seite spannend und lesenswert. Wer gute Thriller mag, kommt an Chris Carter gar nicht vorbei. Absolute Leseempfehlung. Vielen Dank für das Lesen meiner Rezension. Ich freue mich, wenn ich Ihnen nützliche Hinweise geben konnte.

I can't believe we have reached the tenth stop on the Chris Carter blogathon. I've loved every single one of the novels and Hunting Evil is just as brilliant, although it is slightly different to the rest of the series in that we have already met the antagonist and we know he is committing the crimes as they happen. I would therefore recommend that you read the series from the beginning and you will not regret it. Lucien Folter is one of the most evil, calculated and twisted perpetrators I have ever met in literature. Chris Carter describes him and his horrific crimes in such detail that he genuinely sent chills down my spine and his crimes were incredibly creative, but very shocking to me. As always, the graphic scenes won't be for everyone, but I love how it takes me right to the heart of the action. The whole of Hunting Evil is full of tension as Hunter, Garcia and the team try to locate Lucien. I love the way the tension ebbs and flows throughout the story, peaking at some very dangerous moments and leaving me holding my breath. I could not stop turning the pages! I cannot wait to see where this series goes next!

... his old companion of High School, Lucien Folter. And the author Chris Carter himself admits that this is the first sequel he has ever written. The first book 'An Evil Mind' gives a lot of insight into the long history that Hunter and Lucien are sharing. If You didn't read that book - which I personally disliked to the point of NOT even writing a review for the in my eyes worst book in the Hunter series - You may dedicate some time reading it. Or You do not and read some reviews or resumes and spare the money. And as in Chapter 8 and 9 our Hunter has to explain EVERYTHING to Garcia who doesn't know about Lucien Folter and his capture. So that may suffice, too. That only as a kind of foreword to this thriller... Lee High Security prison in Virginia: A guard finds 2 dead watch men and a dead nurse in a bloodbath, all with their throat cut and weapons missing. He hits the alarm button - and that's the last thing he does in his life... So the evil impersonated Lucien Folter has escaped leaving 5 bodies behind. Only because of some stupid decisions some even more stupid paper pushers made by NOT putting him into the required Super-Max prison in total Isolation. 'Evil Impersonated' in a high-sec prison was enough for the Feebies, who wanted to study this beast in human form at Quantico! Now he's out to get to one of his old hiding places. But he left a message to Hunter, to prepare for a game. A deadly hunting game between the two of them... Robert Hunter refuses to head the US-wide investigation. He is LAPD, and Folter is now a case for the FBI and the US Marshals. But Lucien Folter is now leaving bodies behind, the way he always did. And then our Hunter gets a call from his old buddy Lucien, which is traced right to... Los Angeles Airport. That changes a lot, if not everything - because NOW the game takes place right in Hunter's and Garcia's 'playground'. And with Folter being a genius in disguises, accents, and able to hypnotize normal persons easily, this manhunt will be a long and bloody one... Which now involves US Marshal West and FBI Special Agent Holbrook, too. And the game is up, commanded by the Bad Guy. Who is challenging Hunter with riddles to save people from being killed. And the first one goes 30 to 0 (in body count...) to Folter. The hard reality strikes the Law Enforcers - they had never any chance to save those innocents. Because the Hunted Evil has become the real hunter now. And nothing can stop his revenge. And the next killings are personally aimed at Robert and they hit the target hard. But everything comes to an end and so is this book. Before that we have to go through a showdown where the bad bad Lucien is talking way too much for my liking. But I NEVER could stand that bad bad caricature of a serial killer, a perp who is gloating and glorifying himself. Not in the first book and even less in this sequel I could easily done without... OK - we all know what kind of thrillers the author Chris Carter is writing, so prepare Yourself for the worst. Cruelty, torture and blood in abundance are at the order of the day. And that monster seems to play them all. But it is the twisted personality of the bad guy that makes this book so improbable. Too much of everything and nothing sounds really true. So I give it a 4**** rating, because here less would have been a lot more in MY eyes...

My heart was in my mouth the whole time, I could not put the book down, the knowledge that goes into your books, the way you make the characters come alive it is absolutely amazing I can’t wait for the next Robert Hunter book - to spend time with him, Carlos and Anna and I am so hoping that he and Tracy get back together again he needs the love of a good woman - you are a true genius Chris please don’t ever stop writing about Robert ❤️

Very good book, amazing thriller.... Must read for detective thriller readers.
