The Night Stalker by Chris Carter


2012
01.30

“American run of the mill thriller.
Don’t get me wrong there is nothing wrong with this serial killer who stalks women and the chase by detectives to catch him page turner, but the characters lack depth, the plot is intended to shock and scare but didn’t.
I know readers enjoyed this book (read the reviews on Amazon) so if you are one of these people tell me what I’m missing.

Score 3/10

“Begins very well with a mass suicide (or is it?) by a secret sect.
We then drift off to the relationship of the title.
I never felt in touch with these two unlikely lovers.

“Thriller written 40 years ago and showing its age.
Looking back it’s clichéd…the sexy woman drives an MG etc
Cold war and nuclear subs in Scottish waters, a mystery and believable.
Back then they also wrote short novels, only 270 pages. But a murder mystery without any swear words…flip me!

Score 3.5/10
