Shortly after, a second corpse is discovered, and David Hunter is once again treading familiar territory involving lethal mind games with an ingenious and relentless psychopath.<\/p>\n<p>Synopsis of the book, by <a href=\"https:\/\/leonegra.com\/en\/author\/simon-beckett\/\">Simon Beckett<\/a>, taken from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B007Y5RAXY\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?&amp;tag=leonegra00a-20\">Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Whispers of the Dead review<\/h3>\n<p>As good as the previous two: <a href=\"https:\/\/leonegra.com\/en\/book\/the-chemistry-of-death\/\">The Chemistry of Death<\/a> and<a title=\"Written in bone\" href=\"https:\/\/leonegra.com\/en\/book\/written-in-bone\/\"> Written in Bone<\/a>, first and second novels, respectively, in the David Hunter series. The second one is published in Spanish by the<a title=\"C\u00edrculo de Lectores\" href=\"http:\/\/www.circulo.es\/\"> C\u00edrculo de Lectores <\/a>with the title<a title=\"Entre las cenizas\" href=\"http:\/\/www.circulo.es\/Libros\/2010\/032010\/27359.aspx?param0=0&amp;tipo=Acci\"> Entre las cenizas<\/a>. I think this one will come out too.<\/p>\n<p>The plot is very good and original. The suspense is maintained throughout the novel and the murderer is the one who you least expect. At least, in my case, I hadn&#8217;t taken them into account at all and, modesty aside, I usually get it right.<\/p>\n<p>The author continues in his style of not dwelling on technical details and unnecessary descriptions, which is highly appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>Highly recommended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":72699,"parent":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center
