The Creeper: A Novel | Tania Carver
post image

“Suzanne Perry is having a vivid nightmare. Someone is in her bedroom, touching her, and she can€™‘t move a muscle. She wakes, relieved to put the nightmare behind her, but when she opens the curtains, she sees a polaroid stuck to the window. A photo of her, sleeping, taken during the night. And underneath, the words: €œI€™‘m watching over you.€ Her nightmare isn't over. In fact, it€™s just beginning.”

I was able to zip through this one in three days. No headaches! I love this series and am enjoying reading it again. Phil Brennan is a copper, a great one, but he‘s not like most coppers; he‘s a sensitive soul. Marina Esposito is in love with him but she‘s conflicted. What happened in the past might happen again. I highly recommend this series. #SeriesLove2023 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

A shocking double-murder scene greets DI Philip Brennan when he is called to a flat in Colchester. Two women are viciously cut open, one tied to the bed, one on the floor. The woman on the bed has had her stomach cut into and her unborn child is missing. This is the third time Phil and his team have seen such an atrocity. Psychologist Marina Esposito is brought in and Phil has to put aside his feelings for her and get on with the job.

Wow! Talk about gruesome murders! This serial killer truly fell over to the dark side. This was the last book in the series (for now?). I think Chris is working on another book that is coming out sometime next year. I really hope so. #SeriesLove2023 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

“A killing like no other.
A killer more twisted than he‘s ever seen before.
A case that will test him to the limit.
Has Robert Hunter finally met his match?

‘Do you believe the Devil exists, Detective?‘ the officer at the end of the line asks. ‘Because if you don‘t . . . I‘m sure you will once you get here.‘”

As roommates, they met for the first time in college. Two of the brightest minds ever to graduate from Stanford University. As adversaries, they met again in Quantico, VA. Robert Hunter became the head of the LAPD‘s UVC. Lucien Folter became the most prolific and dangerous serial killer the FBI had ever encountered. Now, after spending three and a half years locked in solitary confinement, Lucien has finally managed to break free. And he‘s angry.

Hunter and Garcia team up with the FBI‘s NCAVC to solve these crimes. They have a difficult time trying to find their serial killer and bring him to justice. They don‘t understand the murders, the message the killer leaves for them and how he picks his victims. It certainly is something they‘ve never seen before. The book also ends on a cliffhanger. I can‘t recommend this series enough. #SeriesLove2023 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

I love Chris Carter‘s books! It‘s been a few years since I‘ve read them so I‘ve forgotten how the creep/gross factor goes up a notch in the next book. There is always a “what..the..actual..f***?!” moment. It‘s been four years since I last read this book so I was once again surprised by the reveal of the murderer. As I‘ve said of the prior books, they are not for the faint of heart. You‘ve been warned. #SeriesLove2023 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

KathyWheeler @deeannloso I‘m glad he was able to finish the series. I‘m sometimes curious what the story would‘ve been like if he hadn‘t had that accident, but we‘ll never know. 2mo

“Several months have passed since The Drawing of the Three, and in The Waste Lands, Roland‘s two new tet-mates have become trained gunslingers. Eddie Dean has given up heroin, and Odetta‘s two selves have joined, becoming the stronger and more balanced personality of Susannah Dean.”
