Riepilogo Editore:

Marzio Santoni, ispettore di polizia a Valdiluce, ha un grande fiuto. È affascinante ma schivo, uno sciatore provetto che preferisce passare il tempo in mezzo ai boschi piuttosto che al caldo dei rifugi. "Lupo bianco", così lo chiamano tutti per via di un olfatto fuori dal comune, ha un passato di indagini da prima pagina, ma da quando è tornato in provincia, si trova a occuparsi di insignificanti inchieste locali.

La stagione invernale a Valdiluce è un continuo andirivieni di sciatori e famiglie in tuta e scarponi. È così che incontra Elisabetta, attraente ed enigmatica, in vacanza con tre amiche per una settimana. Tra i due l'intesa è immediata e desiderio, eros e un'insaziabile attrazione rendono quei pochi giorni una vertigine sospesa.

Lei sposata, lui scapolo solitario, stanno cercando il coraggio per dirsi addio, quando un evento terribile sconvolge l'intera vallata. Elisabetta e le sue amiche vengono ritrovate nella camera d'albergo, senza vita. Quattro cadaveri e nessun indizio, morte senza un apparente motivo. Ed è proprio "Lupo bianco" che dovrà sovrintendere le indagini all'interno di quella piccola comunità reticente a scoprire la verità.

Perdita di tempo

Libro scontato, una perdita di tempo. Non mi e' piaciuto per niente, i personaggi sono banali e la storia veramente scontata

A Winner!

This book intrigued me from the start. The characters seemed real though a little one dimensional. Never mind that - the story zipped along and became quite exciting. I quite enjoyed the read!

A very entertaining read

Always have liked magic and illusions and this is a nice little murder mystery revolving around them. An entertaining read

Interesting read.

Good crime thriller, with magic at the forefront. Two of my favorite things. Highly recommend book for those who enjoy the same.

Will keep you turning pages

Totally enjoyable read.

Deadly Illusions 5 Stars +

This is Robert Browns Debut Novel. I have to say it is one of the best books that I have read in a long time. I am so happy to be given the opportunity to review and rate this book. I read it in one night. It is fast paced and so intense and full of so much suspense, I could not put it down. The way this author writes is outstanding. The storyline flow well.

"Smart, sexy, and un-put-downable." - John Lescroart

In the style of Dashiell Hammett, ex-IRS agent turned gumshoe-in-training Mortimer Angel is approached by a beautiful hooker, Holiday, in a casino bar in Reno.

Having seen Mort in the news, Holiday knows he's a PI who finds missing persons.

While in the bar with Mort, Holiday gets an unexpected phone call from Allie, who says she's in Gerlach, a small town in Nevada. The call is cut off. Holiday hires Mort on the spot, dragging him off to Gerlach. When Mort finds a connection between Allie and US Senator Harry "Liar" Reinhart, a presidential candidate who vanished without a trace three days ago, things quickly turn deadly... very deadly.

Super fun story!

I'm looking forward to more books about this character. It's so nice to have a protagonist that's openly a good guy in all parts of his life, not just when pressed into service. Thanks for a great listen.

Good Mystery

The story moves quickly. This is one i would have enjoyed reading instead of listening.

Awesome Read

This book was great, I felt like a detective and enjoyed thr details and the Philly landmarks, I felt like I was right there, knowing the characters and all.

Publisher's Summary:

Homicide detective Ryan Clark has a problem. A prominent businessman has been assassinated by a drive-by shooting. Two weeks earlier another man, in the same industry, was shot and killed. He suspects the assassinations are related and calls an old friend with the FBI.

When FBI profiler special agent Sean Kruger arrives at the scene of the second murder, he agrees with Clark but is hesitant to get involved. After 25 years with the FBI, he is tired of the bureaucracy and politics of the job. His constant traveling has kept him away from the woman he loves and he is contemplating retiring to start a new life with her.

A week later, while home in Kansas City, the assassin strikes again. Only this time close to where he lives and suddenly the search becomes personal. With the help of JR Diminski, the computer genius from The Fugitive's Trail, Kruger identifies a suspect and travels to Alabama for the arrest.

Politics and micromanaging complicate the situation. Kruger is ordered to wait, but disobeys and proceeds with the arrest. When everything goes horribly wrong, he is suspended by the director of the FBI.

Now outside the protection of the agency, he must decide whether to walk away from his career or put his new marriage and life in danger by pursuing the assassin. An assassin whose ultimate goal is an attack in the center of the United States. An attack that will result in more innocent casualties than 9/11.

Great Fast Pace Listen!

I loved this thrilling book. The main character in this story is Sean Kruger who was introduced in The Fugitive's Trail. This book is a standalone listen, yet has some characters from the previous book. It is not a cliffhanger. I loved how this book moved along and was also thought provoking. The author wrote such great imagery in this book and kept the twists and turns coming. The narrator added much enjoyment to this book with his various characters distinguishable voices and emotions. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. Typically I listen to romance books, but I enjoy a good thriller too. I will definitely listen to more books by both this talented author and narrator.

Murders

Another great read about FBI profiler special agent Sean Kruger, and although it is part of a series it can be read as a stand alone as well. The story begins with New York Police detective and friend of Kruger, Ryan Clark, investigating the assassination of a prominent business man, followed by a second one shortly after. Clark suspects the two murders are tied together and calls Kruger for his opinion and help. Kruger is reluctant to help, partly because of his disillusionment with the beuarocracy of the FBI and partly because all his travels are keeping him away from his new found love. When the assassin strikes again, this time a block from his home, Kruger agrees to the assignment. Initially forced to work under an old rival and incompetent agent who has been promoted to being in charge of the Kansas City FBI office, Kruger's investigation takes him to Alabama to make an arrest. Things take a nasty turn when the suspect blows himself and his house up leaving a barn full of explosives and Kruger suspects terrorists.

A Heck of a Ride, start to finish!

I really enjoyed Be My Killer. This is one of the first truly "unputdownable" audiobooks I've listened to in months- I've been in a slump, even after getting all the big-name and big-hype suspense thrillers this season. Thank goodness for Be My Killer- I needed this! A finely written, suspense-filled, gory small-town mystery, just what I needed for a great marathon read. The book has a very interesting premise- a filmmaker and her dedicated crew go back to her small hometown of Brookfield, VT to make a documentary about a series of violent murders, the last one having happened in Broomfield, sparked by a nationwide Twitter #bemykiller trend. Personally, I love the whole "behind the scenes" feeling, and especially the extremely creepy setting of an abandoned amusement park- the scene of the most recent murder. Add in the elements of slasher-film fun (no, don't go downstairs to investigate that noise!) along with an interesting backstory, and you have one dark and disturbing but captivating and entertaining book. The narration was great also. One small note to readers- the narrator uses British inflections on some words but it's still an American accent and in an American setting; but the author has used 'petrol' instead of gas, and other British terms. With a British author and a British publisher, why not just have the book set in England and have a British narrator? Just a curiosity. This did not detract from the experience at all, because the narration was excellent. Thanks Mr Parker for getting me out of my slump. Highly recommended!

This certainly is gruesome!!

This book is a mystery thriller, and it did keep me guessing until the end so I would say it lived up to the promotional synopsis.

The plot is about a practical joke hashtag, be my killer. I'm not sure why this would happen but it went viral and people started posting things like "bite me" or "snipe me" and then predictably so, people started getting murdered in the fashion of their hashtag postings. After four murders the hashtag was pulled it by then there were already so many posts for the killer to choose from. One woman murdered is friends with the protagonist (Hazel Salter) who makes documentaries.

Members Reviews:

Excellent

Even better than the first book but that may be because I was more familiar with the characters.

Bunch of winkers

I generally enjoyed this audiobook apart from two annoying things. Firstly, I could not get over the number of times one or other of the characters winked at the other, I don't know if winking is a national pastime in Norway but this book certainly made it seem so.

Secondly, several of the characters developed an irritating habit of dismissing or ignoring a colleague who clearly has information vital to solving the case or seemed unable to explain themselves in a clear and succinct way so what should have been a simple exchange of words was drawn out in to a lengthy and frustrating discussion.

my new favourite author

loved this story! after only 2 books i care about these characters like dear, old friends. i'm impatient for the next instalment!

Good story but really annoying at times

I really liked the first book ('I'm travelling alone') and had high hopes for this one.

I enjoyed the story, even though I think the conclusions could have included more details, but what really bothered me was how annoying the characters were getting at times.

Maybe it would have been less annoying to read than as an audiobook, but Mia and Holger repeatedly asking "what?" in every other scene started to drive me crazy at some point and I nearly didn't finish the book because of it.

slightly disappointed

I would have to say I didn't enjoy this second book as much as the first which was excellent. The second half of the book is better so it's worth persisting

What a fantastic listen

This has been one of the best audio books I have listened to in years. The twists and turns kept me in suspense to the last second.

I can't wait to get stuck into Owen Mullen's second book and I hope it comes to audio soon.

Great storyline. It kept me hooked

Such a good storyline. A baby disappears and the developments just unfurl and had me hooked right up until the end. & id read the kindle version! Owen Mullen is definitely 1 to follow. He's obviously just going to get better.

I find a good story just comes to life with an audio book and this 1 def did.

The narrator was very good and had such a yummy accent. I could listen to him all day.

Wonderful!

Any additional comments?

Now, it's not usual for me to read a book and then listen to it a few months later on Audible. Quite frankly there aren't that many books that warrant reading twice, and certainly not in a short space of time. Owen Mullen's book is a superb exception to the rule. Even though I knew what was going to happen, it felt completely different listening to it play out. Benjamin McCulloch narrated excellently and added an extra layer of enjoyment to an already thoroughly enjoyable and absorbing book. Despite all of Charlie Cameron's issues, I have taken him to my heart and keep searching my mind for a suitable girlfriend for him before remembering that he's an imaginary character. Jackie is another brilliant character. I think we all know a 'Jackie'; a woman who has her work life completely together and is bound for professional greatness but who's love life is nowhere near as perfect. It's a real achievement if even the minor characters draw you in. Pat and Gail, Andrew and Sandra, (and his nightmare ex wife Elsbeth) are all believable and engaging. Together with Andrew, Alex, Kate, Charlie's parents, the whole cast contribute to to the brilliance and brightness of this fast paced and twisty story. Nothing turns out the way you think it's going to but the ultimate ending is clever and satisfying. So, now I've read it and listened to it, please can we see Charlie and the gang on TV. This would be a perfect TV series. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this 5 star audio book. You'll regret it if you miss out!

Great storyline

When I first started listening to this the narrator very nearly put me off. His voice was for me very much an acquired taste.

Members Reviews:

Another thrilling listen from Chris Carter.

Another enjoyable but dark and violent thriller from one of the best writers of the 21st century. Chris Carter never fails to come up with a unique storyline. The narrator unfortunately let the production down for me, by making Garcia sound like Robin to Hunters Batman!

spoilt by app

my enjoyment was spoilt by the app repeatedly starting at chapter one not saving progress made already

Loved it

Another brilliant listen . Couldnt leave it alone :) cant wait to get another one housework done in no time

kept guessing until the end

another brilliant installment in the Robert Hunter series. just as a grusom as the others.

Publisher's Summary:

On edge after a two-week mandatory leave, Homicide Detective Kate Springer is blindsided when she discovers she shares a link with Tampa's newest murder victim. A troubled teen is found strangled and dumped in a remote part of town. The bond between them threatens to expose Detective Springer's past, a past she's been hell-bent on keeping secret. When the killer finally emerges from the shadows, Kate's secrets aren't the only thing on the line. So is her life.

A detective with a traumatic secret

Set in Tampa, Florida, Homicide Detective Kate Springer has just returned to the job. She and her partner catch the next murder case, a teen-aged girl, Kimberly Callahan, who shares an unexpected connection with Kate. As they dig into the murder, several suspects catch their eye. However, Kate is distracted by one in particular and that distraction may be her downfall.

There was a lot I enjoyed about this book. It was mostly Kate Springer who held my interest. I believe she will be a great main character for the series. Shes got this dark past that haunts her a bit even though she is well into her 30s. Throughout the book, shes seeing the department psychologist off and on and thats where we learn the most about her past. I also like that Kate knows she has certain behaviors for deflecting people which keep her from having close friendships and meaningful romances.

This book does deal with child sexual abuse. While none of it is revealed in detail, the author does a good job of focusing on how that abuse affects not only the child but the adult that child turns into. The story also brings non-sexual abuse and just plain neglect into the story as well.

Some aspects of the book were a bit formulaic. For instance, the killer was easy to identify. In fact, from the moment they strolled onto the page, I was pretty sure. Also, I didnt ever really worry about whether or not Kate would live through this investigation, since we all know this is Book 1 in a series.

I really liked Kates work partner, fellow Detective Patrick Jessup. The two have a good rapport going with their jokes and random fact bets. I also liked the crime scene tech and her knowledge of etymology; for instance, she knows where the phrase humble pie comes from.

There were a handful of things that felt a little rushed or slanted in a certain way for convenience. When Kate is doing her sessions with the psychologist, shes asked to discuss her triggers and Kate doesnt know what that means. Yet I was pretty sure that Kate had spent some time working with a psychologist or two in the past and also reading up on her own, so I dont know why she wouldnt know this basic term. I felt that was put there to give the psychologist the chance to explain it to the reader, not to Kate. Also, there is a fat, bullying cop who Kate is always trading insults with, though Kates insults are nearly always about his weight (which I felt was immature). My biggest complaint is that Kates past and her connections to the case remain unknown to the homicide department at the end of the story. I didnt think this was realistic at all.

With that said, this book still gripped my attention. I really wanted to see how things would unfold, even though I had already guessed the killer. Kate is a fascinating character in many ways. She has issues but her focus on her work keeps her centered.
