In America to escape the violence that nearly killed him, forensics expert David Hunter needs to know whether he is still up to the job of confronting death in all its strange and terrible forms.
Then a body is found in a remote cabin out in the woods. And then another...

9/15 | 3.5It's a pretty good crime novel, but I don't like the fact that the murderer is regularly an allegedly friend or colleague. It's a pattern that get's boring because it's very predictable. Furthermore I wish David Hunter or one (or more!) of his colleagues were not personally involved and in mortal danger while investigating a crime.
I'm kinda disappointed that I guessed who the murderer is. Maybe it means I am getting smarter, or Simon is getting lazier.

Whispers of the Dead is the third book in the David Hunter series and gives us a bit more background and history to Dr David Hunter as he returns to the Body Farm in Tennessee where hed trained early on in his career.

Its what gave him the idea for the series.This story is pretty gruesome and I was quite glad that smell-o-vision
I read this in a day. It was very hard to put down. Another brilliant novel in the David Hunter forensic anthropologist series. This one was set in the US, at the Body Farm, the FBI's forensic outdoor lab--the place where they use real bodies to investigate all the things that happen to us when we die. Great stuff. This one was even gorier than the first two, a huge body count by the time David is finished, but it's superbly written and has an almost breathtaking climax. I know a lot more about
Is there anyway I can give this series more than 5 stars ??!!I love Simon's story and his writing style and I love David Hunter!!Once you started reading this book, you'll be drawn into the scene instantly.You'll forget the real world...really!Simon will make you feel you're with David but invisible along the story.I think you even feel you are able to smell and touch something!!The most wonderful crime novel I've ever read.This one is my favourite in this series so far.
