Chemistry of Death. Simon Beckett445 руб
Three years later, a body of a woman is found. Having left his old life behind him after a personal tragedy nearly destroyed him, David Hunter finds himself working as a doctor in a remote Norfolk village. Then a second woman disappears and the village begins to turn on itself. The body has been bizarrely mutilated and the police require David’s help to find the killer, but David is reluctant to dredge up a past he’d left behind. The Chemistry of Death is the first book in the David Hunter series and it’s a cracking start to the series. Even David, the village doctor, isn’t above suspicion, especially as he’s an outsider in the villagers’ eyes. The story is written from David Hunter’s perspective, but every now and then we also get a chapter following a victim. I really enjoyed reading this book. In fact, I’d say it makes the story more compelling as you find yourself more eager to find out what happens to them. So while this gives the reader a bit of a “head’s up” on who the next victim is going to be, it doesn’t detract from the story. He’s likable too and at times I felt sorry for him. I also felt that I’d come to know David well. This book is written with well-researched detail of what happens to bodies after death. As with every good thriller, there are a few twists and turns in the story, especially at the end when not one but two twists in the story really surprised me. So, as you can tell, this isn’t really a book for those with a weak stomach! Having said that, if you enjoy crime & thriller books then I whole-heartedly recommend this book. The story actually starts with a description of decomposition. The end of the book even contains the 1st chapter of the second book in the series, Written in Bone, as if I needed any further reason to read the rest of the books in the series! A top notch book!
