About this deal

kartą į Los Andželo morgą atkeliauja moters kūnas. Mirties priežastis nėra aiški, nėra jokių matomų sužeidimų. Tik tai.. Jog aukai užsiūta burna bei intymi vieta. Atliekant skrodimą yra pastebima, jog šis tas yra palikta moters viduje.. Der Titel passt im Übrigen irgendwie kaum zum Inhalt. Manchmal glaube ich, die deutschen Verlage würfeln bei der Übersetzung von Thrillern einfach irgendwelche gruseligen Wörter zusammen und bilden daraus dann einen Buchtitel. Na, o serijinis žudikas šįkart šiurpina išskirtinai tik moteris, tam tikro amžiaus, išvaizdos, specialybės. O jau žudimo įrankiai tai eina sau, ir tikrai šiurpo prideda tos susiūtos lūpos ir dar kitos vietos. Best and the Worst:To my way of thinking, the Matheson TV movie is better than any particular episode of the show it spawned. Matheson did excellent work with vampires, after all. But I’m going to focus on the series itself for the best and worst.

I am glad that I gave this novel a try. It did provide me some entertainment and look forward to reading some more books by the author. García ha sido útil en esta ocasión (espero siga asi el hombre caray) y Hunter no se ha liado con nadie esta vez jajaja, eso es bueno tmb; digo, no me opongo a que se enrede con alguien pero prefiero que la trama fluya en torno a los crímenes que se presentan a lo largo de la trama.

Robert Hunter - nice surname by the way!!! - of a special unit investigating violent crimes. Like most detectives in literature he also experienced some personal tragedies which scarred his psyche, but unlike some of them he did not seek refuge and solace in the bottle though.I personally have no problem with the monster of the week format. After all, hey, it’s a monster. Every week! I’m easy to please on that score. But unlike the other paranormal shows I’ve mentioned, Kolchak had no larger arc or even a timeline. It’s purely episodic television, and I think that was a mistake. A monster every week inside a larger plot structure simply works better. Es ist wieder ein Serienkiller in LA unterwegs. Diesmal scheint es ein rastloser Täter zu sein, der seine Opfer – junge, aufstrebende Künstlerinnen und Musikerinnen – auf höchst brutale Weise sterben lässt und ihnen vorher bei lebendigem Leib Mund und Geschlechtsorgan zunäht. Lo retorcido de la mente del criminal, del amor, todos los artilugios que salen en esta novela... Todo eso ha sido bastante macabro (me ha encantado). Ne bih rekla da je lik mog omiljenog istražitelja ovde posebno evoluirao, ponovljene su neke stvari iz njegovog života, dovoljno da upute čitaoca u njegov privatni život, da može ovaj deo zasebno da čita. Date su i neke nove činjenice, ali ja bih volela da se malo više stavi akcenat na njegovom, kao i na Garsijinom životu, no sve to nikako ne umanjuje odličan utisak. Detective Robert Hunter und sein Partner Carlos Garcia werden darauf angesetzt, den Mörder zu finden – schließlich haben sie ihr Können in Bezug auf Serientäter schon mehrfach unter Beweis gestellt. Doch diesmal sind sie nicht die einzigen, die den kaltblütigen Verbrecher finden wollen: auch die Privatermittlerin Whitney Myers macht sich auf die Suche. Und das nächste Opfer wird schon eifrig vom Täter beobachtet…

Before it was a TV show, Kolchak: The Night Stalker was a made-for-TV movie with a Richard Matheson script. The night stalker in question isn’t Kolchak; it’s a vampire. This gets confused in the series, as it seems to imply that Kolchak himself is the night stalker. This makes him sound a bit creepy, and he really isn’t at all. Within days a new body surfaces. Like the previous victim, she’s also been stitched shut and something has been left inside her. Something as ingenious as it is grotesque. And the killer isn’t done yet, not by a long shot. Whatever its flaws, Kolchak is still damn fun with a lot of surprises, not the least of which is how this one-season show remains infuential more than 30 years later. I used my love of crime books and tv shows to try and guess who the killer was but it didn’t hit me until like chapter eighty / eighty five. Within days a new body surfaces. Like the previous victim, she's also been stitched shut and something has been left inside her. Something as ingenious as it is grotesque. And the killer isn't done yet, not by a long shot.Yet those two bad books put a sour taste in my mouth - like two in a row, what has gone wrong with my reading process? It's funny but I could likely put together a list of about 15-20 authors who I really can bank on. So why not simply read everything they have before trying to find someone else? You really have to wonder why I/we don't do that. I liked how the investigation was carried out - investigation is after all a painstaking process of analyzing facts, interviewing or interrogating people, lying in wait -- mostly using your brains and testing your patience. The author did try in this respect. The obligatory and somewhat preedictable attempt at misdirection was also there. Before I wanted to study animal care I liked the idea of being a Homicide detective or CSI, now I’m glad I’m not because I have nothing but respect for the men and women that have that profession. No therapist in the world could help with the horrors they must see and they have more courage and guts than most.

I also liked the character of Whitney Myers and the factors that led her to become what she later became. I don't want to include any spoilers in case you ever give it a try. Andererseits hat sich der Autor mit Robert Hunter auch einen ziemlich langweiligen Ermittler geschaffen. Er ist so glattgeschliffen und perfekt (durchtrainiert, liest viel, Doktortitel mit 23 Jahren, Doktorarbeit ist Pflichtlektüre an der Polizeiakademie, alle kennen ihn, alle bewundern ihn…). Es bleibt wenig Platz für Menschlichkeit bei dieser Figur, deshalb kann man (oder: ich) nur schwer einen Draht zu ihm aufbauen. I like my psycho-thrillers to have an atmosphere of tension, excitement, fear and if there is terror then I simply love it. The author did try to create a similar atmosphere from the very beginning but I felt that somehow he was unable to maintain it. Ne mogu da se ne zapitam šta se dešava u Hanterovom umu kada je konstantno izložen brutalnostima u losanđeleskoj policiji i kako on to podnosi; kao da sem nesanice na kojoj se potencira, drugih posledica nema.🤔 Istovremeno, još jednom se divim mašti autora, kao i istraživačkom delu koji je odradio, kako bi priču učinio verodostojnom. Este es el caso que, creo, más me ha gustado hasta ahora. Además, la calidad literaria ha mejorado.Volim stil kojim Karter piše, pogotovo kratka poglavlja, koja se završavaju taman na mestu gde vam znatiželja ne da mira, pa morate da pročitate bar još jedno; za tili čas dolazite do finiša, nesvesni koliko vas je radnja uvukla, navela na neke pogrešne tragove i dolazite do kraja koji je neretko šokantan. Ono što mi je najveći adut Karterovih romana je ta psihologija, psihološka strana cele priče i objašnjenja na kraju, gde vam se cela priča razjasni i sa te strane. También porque García, el compañero de Hunter, ha sido más útil y ya parece un poli más competente. When Robert Hunter, a Detective with the LAPD's Homicide Special Section, receives an anonymous call directing him to go to a certain private web broadcast, a show designed specifically for him begins as soon as he logs in. When an unidentified female body is discovered laid out on a slab in an abandoned butcher's shop, the cause of death is unclear. Her body bears no marks; except for the fact that her lips have been carefully stitched shut. It is only when the full autopsy gets underway at the Los Angeles County morgue that the pathologist will reveal the true horror of the situation - a discovery so devastating that Detective Robert Hunter of the Los Angeles Homicide Special Section has to be pulled off a different case to take over the investigation
