Representaion To Books The Chemistry of Death (David Hunter #1)

Three years ago, David Hunter moved to rural Norfolk to escape his life in London, his gritty work in forensics, and a tragedy that nearly destroyed him. Working as a simple country doctor, seeing his lost wife and daughter only in his dreams, David struggles to remain uninvolved when the corpse of a woman is found in the woods, a macabre sign from her killer decorating her body. In one horrifying instant, the quiet summer countryside that had been David’s refuge has turned malevolent—and suddenly there is no place to hide. The village of Manham is tight-knit, far from the beaten path. As a newcomer, Dr. Hunter is immediately a suspect. Once an expert in analyzing human remains, he reluctantly joins the police investigation—and when another woman disappears, it soon becomes personal. Because this time she is someone David knows, someone who has managed to penetrate the icy barrier around his heart. With a killer’s bizarre and twisted methods screaming out to him, with a brooding countryside beset with suspicion, David can feel the darkness gathering around him. For as the clock ticks down on a young woman’s life, David must follow a macabre trail of clues—all the way to its final, horrifying conclusion.

Comment On Epithetical Books The Chemistry of Death (David Hunter #1)

I loved every second of it. And despite having read the book a few years ago, I did not remember who the killer was. Only when a certain situation occurred, it came back to me^^ I have to say its probably the same page when I figured out the killer the first time too. Which is far into the last third. That's pretty late for me. Therefore it gets five stars because I couldn't figure it our too early :-DI love Beckett's scientific explanations. They are sometimes gross but that's the job. I'm

I was hooked from the moment I began reading this book and was compelled to keep reading to the very end. It is that interesting a story.David Hunter, a former forensic anthropologist fleeing London after the death of his wife and daughter in a DUI driving accident, arrives in the village of Manham and settles in as a partner in a medical practice with a doctor whose own wife had died in an accident. Everything seems to be fine until a body is found by two young boys. Slowly, police become aware

Phew, that was intense. So enjoyable!

Given the unadulterated dreck that's so often foisted on fans of thriller/detective/murder mysteries - especially in the case of POD and self-published novels whose authors often have barely enough talent to write a check - *The Chemistry of Death* has one very important thing going for it: Beckett actually understands how to craft a decent English sentence. Unfortunately, two faults bog it down and keep it from being a star in the genre. First, no one has ever taught Beckett to murder his

Beckett takes the reader on a fabulous journey to the quaint English town of Manham, where tranquility appears to be the name of the game. With one General Practitioner, the town seems to be functioning fairly well, but a freak accident forces new blood to solve Manham's medical quandary. The arrival of a new doctor is not the only change in town, as dead animals and fowl begin to appear, coinciding with the new GP. When a body surfaces, our seemingly innocent GP reveals (to a select few) his

Pleasingly twisty, with all the requisite red herrings and an ending thirty pages before the real one; a first person narrative that keeps you hooked with some nice grisly touches - corpses replete with swan wings or a bellyful of baby rabbits. Yet I would've liked a little more time with the killer, would have preferred my grisly more close to the bone. Good, but something missing.

A complex mystery and I suspected all the wrong people (which I love). Seriously repulsive forensic examinations are a part of this book, so don't read it if you can't pretend to be as badass as the specialists who deal with dead bodies. The cover does have flies crawling across it and twice when it was sitting on my table I thought they were real.This was the oldest book on my to-read shelf. I'm not sure where the recommendation came from anymore, but I'll read another sometime soon.
