Relation During 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.

Evaluate Containing Books The Chemistry of Death (David Hunter #1)

I recently read Mr. Beckett's third book in this series, Whispers of the Dead, & enjoyed it enormously which inspired me to go back & grab the first two.The Chemistry of Death is the first in the series starring David Hunter, British forensic anthropologist. I love books with forensic detail & these are right up my alley.I love the fact that this book starts out with one of my favorite beginnings in literature: Our hero (or heroine), escaping from a tragedy & into a new life

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

When the savagely mutilated body of Sally Palmer is found, Hunter knows he needs to help the police find the killer, despite



Took me two days to read this! Yes, and it wasn't the only thing I did! The story of a young doctor gone to live and work in rural England following the death of his wife and child. Yeah, a trope, but it's always in the way a writer handles a trope that defines a book. (If not for tropes we'd have no mysteries at all, romance would be nil, and no little boys would be going off to boarding schools and learn about monsters, magic and those-who-must-not-be-named.) Anyhow, this doctor, David

David Hunter is a sympathetic protagonist. But the unfolding of this story is very slow and seems too contrived now and then. It is also lacking a bit in depth and emotion.

Okay Simon Beckett, you win. I just adored this book!The setting, the characters all brought it to a grand conclusion. Will read more from this author.
