This book makes my reading time worthwhile. Very worthwhile. The final chapter is totally unexpected and leaves me in no doubt that there is more to come in this series. It is not easy writing an outstanding sequel to an already outstanding debut but in my opinion, Beckett has nailed it on all counts. Apart from the compelling plot, what I am fascinated about is that the book is set on a fictitious island but one based closely to the ones the author visited in the Outer Hebrides, an island chain off the west coast of Scotland, where nature in all its glory makes a more turbulent companion than the two-legged kind.
Let's hear it from the author:
Written In Bone (published in 2007) is the No 1 international bestselling sequel to The Chemistry Of Death. More information and a taster of it can be found on the author's website. I am already looking forward to reading the next and third book in the David Hunter series called Whispers Of The Dead (published in 2009). I seriously do not think Beckett can write fast enough for his fans!
Rating: 7/5
