'Thirty-seven years in the force, and if I was allowed to choose just one thing to erase from my mind, what's inside that room would be it.'

That's what a LAPD Lieutenant tells Detectives Hunter and Garcia of the Ultra Violent Crimes Unit as they arrive at one of the most shocking crime scenes they have ever attended.

In a completely unexpected turn of events, the detectives find themselves joining forces with the FBI to track down a serial killer whose hunting ground sees no borders, a psychopath who loves what he does because to him murder is much more than just killing - it's an art form.

Welcome to the Gallery of the Dead.

A Page turner, unusual murder style..

Reviewed in Australia on 20 August 2019

Verified Purchase

Being an avid reader, I was very impressed with this book and couldn't put it down . I like to mix up my genre and I enjoy a good crime story, if it is well written and believable. This one WAS well written and believable too, even if the murders were unusual ( we all know their is no end to the minds of twisted murderers, or the lengths they will go)
This is an Author I haven't read before, but it won't be the last! I've always been a bit fascinated by the rivalry between Police and the FBI, it is well played out in this novel. Believable characters , Well done

A SHADE TOO GRIM

Reviewed in Australia on 6 December 2019

I have to admit that, much as I usually love Chris Carter's books, this one I didn't enjoy. It was just a bit too gruesome & a shade too unbelievable. Stories need light moments especially when the story is grim.

I absolutely loved this book - great twist at the end! Just a couple of minor errors (e.g. going into a single story house then observing a staircase that went upstairs??) but didn't effect the story. I will certainly be reading other books written by this author. The book was hard to put down keeping me reading well into the night.

A bit disappointed.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 July 2018

I've read all the Robert Hunter books and loved them all - except this one. Don't get me wrong, it's not awful but it doesn't compare to the other books.

One of Chris Carter's "things' is the psychological side of the investigation, getting into the killer's psyche, something i enjoy. I love the theories being bandied about, the explanations into the killer's acts and especially the way Hunter comes to his conclusions. In this book however, it went a bit too far, there were too many theories discussed which all became a bit ridiculous when we found out the killer's real (and a bit wishy-washy) motive.

For example, the book was peppered with characters giving an explanation about a theory/piece of evidence (eg from the medical examiner) which was follwed by confusion from a member of the team (even if the explanation was clear and obvious) which resulted in a longer, more convoluted break down of that theory. Most of the time the first explanation was understandable enough. This constant explaining, with the puzzled responses from the rest of the team (supposedly the best the FBI had to offer) led to a story that kind of stuttered along in a stop/start fashion that just didn't make for smooth reading. Maybe that's why this book took me two days to read rather than the usual few hours?

I also didn't enjoy the ending. Towards the end (around the time they were at the abandoned ranch) it was obvious who the taken victim was and this therefore explained the actions at the ranch. No one actually thought 'that person' was the killer did they? So the going back to a few hours before was unnecessary and again, just slowed the story down. I was also disappointed that we hadn't met the killer before as working out who it is is the best part!

I WAS pleased that Garcia was a bit more involved, he seemed like a valid member of the team in this book. Robert, however, came across as quite dull and unmotivated, almost like he was sick of it all. He didn't draw me in the way he normally does.

Maybe I've been picky, I don't know, but a new Robert Hunter book always gets me excited. This time I was just disappointed that it didn't live up to my expectations.

Robert Hunter is back in Chris Carter's gallery of the dead

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 February 2018

If you've not read a Robert Hunter novel do yourself a huge favour and read this one. A serial killer is at large in the US. His grotesquely murdered victims are displayed as works of art and Hunter, his partner Garcia and the FBI are on the case. Full of jaw dropping moments and twists galore can they stop the killer before he strikes against one of their own? Hunter's catchphrase is " I read a lot".
Well so do I and Gallery of the dead is Carters best yet. I think it his own work of art. Not to be missed!!!

Not the usual standard for Carter, but still really good

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 September 2018

Verified Purchase

I had pre-ordered this book months ago and completely forgotten about it, so I was really excited when it arrived. I read the entire book in one day... I couldn't put it down. As usual, Carter describes the murder scenes in such macabre detail you can almost see, feel, and smell the crime scene yourself.
However, I did feel that Carter has done better in previous novels. There were a couple of things that let down the overall story, hence four stars and not five.
Firstly, there was the FBI involvement. Whilst I really enjoyed Fisher's and Garcia's mutual contempt for each other, I felt that the FBI agents, especially Fisher took over the investigation too much and left Robert Hunter behind. One of my favourite aspects of Carter's novels is Robert Hunter and the way he applies psychology to work out the motivation behind the killer's actions. This novel left Hunter a little bit in the background, almost unnecessary. The initial theory of the murders as art went on for so long, that by the time the true motive was figured out, it felt rushed. On two occasions we had Hunter having one of his inspirational flashes, but with not much explanation, they felt contrived and rushed, and did sizzle the way they usually do. I did enjoy the fact that Garcia got to shine a little bit more in this outing, but with that and the FBI, Hunter's character seemed a little extraneous. Hunter is the case. He shouldn't be an extra.
I also didn't like the Fisher-turned-murderer plot twist. Whilst unexpected, it was a needless distraction. That plot device seemed like a waste of time and resulted in the locating of the killer being very rushed.... almost anti-climactic. Finding the killer should be the culmination of the entire story, yet this time it just felt like an epilogue. In fact, the phone call about Lucien Folter's escape offered a greater sense of climax than the killer's arrest, which is perhaps a comment on the killer as a whole. The crime and motivation was superbly plotted, but the killer himself was uninspired. We didn't get to delve into his psyche the way we normally do, and the little bit we did find out about him was a bit blah.
I did enjoy the book, but Carter has done better. I am now really looking forward to the next one where we get to revisit Lucien Folter... now that is a superbly written sadistic killer.

Hate to do this

Hate to do this, but found this book a total let down. Thought it was just me and then I read some other reviews and feel exactly the same. Not anywhere near as good as any of his other books in my opinion, but will still be buying his next book . Still believe Chris is one of the best authors out there, just this one didnt do it for me .

Gallery of the Dead by Chris Carter

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 February 2018

Verified Purchase

Thoroughly enjoyed this story but, as usual, found myself wondering how Chris Carter comes up with such macabre series of murders in all his books. The rivalry between the LAPD and the FBI is highlighted in the joint investigation into this latest serial killer and the totally unexpected twists produce some surprises.

Overall a page turning stand alone read in keeping with this author's previous novels, but any readers new to Chris Carter, whilst enjoying this book, would appreciate the main characters more if the Robert Hunter novels are read in sequence.
