Welcome to Litsy!

Another solid one on the David Hunter series. Back in London, and David is living with Rachel. Everything seems to be OK with them, but is it? A former hospital, and current hangout for junkies, is about to be demolished. Then a dead pregnant woman is found in the building, and David is needed. He gets really deeply involved in the case, as usual. Intriguing, exciting and hard to put down! 🌠🌠🌠🌠

This was so good. It has some incredible twists and the ending caught me by surprise. A fantastic thriller for #Scareathlon #TeamSlaughter plus it features a death and its part of a series so that's another two ticks in #ScaryScavengerHunt. 5* @Clwojick #Netgalley

I LOVED it !! Yes... it may not be the most thrilling book in the series but the last 100 pages were amazing 😍 I just think this author does an amazing job every single time 😌

I am halfway through this book and i like it so far... I think it should get more intense in the next couple of chapters. The Setting is cool... the old hospital you know? 😊 Maybe I will finish it today or tomorrow 😊

Surely it‘s down to me that this 6th David Hunter case is no “Pick” for me. Don‘t know why but I missed this “Can‘t-go-see-the-bathroom-need-to-continue-reading”-feeling. So I‘m sure Beckett did nothing wrong – but I wasn‘t sucked in as I expected to be after my sister had told me that [Xxxx] would happen. 😟

It was an entertaining read, no question (finished in 2 days) but I never caught the atmosphere.

But: Completely rooted for Star. 🤷🏽‍♀️

If you‘re reading about a fictional minor character – and secretly wonder if some of her or his flaws (which are invented) might also be your own.

Only that, if so, yours are for real and that makes them not as easy to deal with as an author does …

(Lesson: More of my current strain drops into my leisure time that I would care for. *sigh*)

Anybody has objections❓😂

Just imagine you have a sweet tooth and just read about someone who prepared a dessert.
you have no idea, what the dessert, a Meringue, is, but you think it sounds sooo tasty.
You look it up – only to find out that it‘s food in Germany known as “Baiser“. One of the rare sweet dishes you absolutely don‘t like at all.

*sigh*

It‘s the sixth and, as far as I know, latest, volume in Simon Beckett‘s “David-Hunter“-series.

But before I start reading and posting about that, look at the picture included in this blurb.

Isn‘t next week‘s weather wonderful⁉️☀️🥰
Temperatures from 78 F to 98 F.

I urgently need to figure out next week‘s salad 🥗 menu. 😍🤤

Another gripping and chilling novel from Simon Beckett, featuring the curiously empathetic David Hunter. See my Goodreads review at: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42448004-the-scent-of-death.

I am anxiously awaiting book 6 of this excellent series!

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.
