First time I've read anything by Chris Carter, but won't be the last. Reels you in and drags you along at a fair pace! Off to Amazon now to see what else I can pick up by him.

I have read everything from Chris and the first few chapters of his latest are no disappointment once again draws you straight in from the first few lines. BRILLIANT.

I knew this was just a sample but I couldn’t resist reading it. For fans of the series there’s enough here to suggest it’s going to be another great book and I’m keen to read it in full.

A great start but I hadn't realised it was only a sample. I thought it was the full book.

Nooooooooo, it's just a sampler!!! Come quick February (or better yet, give me the whole book now). Hunter and Garcia are back - Chris Carter you are a genius.

Fantastic teaser chapter to the next Chris Carter novel. I finished the 3 chapters and was immediately trying to turn to the next. I can’t wait for the full book!

Interesting extract which will make me want to read the whole book once it becomes available.

I was completely beside myself when I was accepted to read this not realising it was a sample. I’m sorry but I can’t do it to myself, I can’t read 3 chapters of this book and that’s it. It’s cruel lol. I can’t wait until Feb for this to come out :))

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for this arc sampler. My review is based on the sampler and will be updated once I read the actual book on release.

Based on this teaser I can’t wait for it to be published. Esteemed detective Hunter is back on a case in the ultra violent crimes unit with his partner Garcia. The chapter ends on this being something they can’t unsee and I want more!!

Gallery of the dead by chris carter.
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. 
A great little sampler. Would love to read more. 5*.

I really love Chris Carter’s book. Just read the first chapter and feeling a little sad. Not really enough of a snippet to get your teeth into and nothing like the dramatic opening of the Death Sculptor or The Caller. Would love to read more!

Whilst this was only a sample from the new book I loved it! Hooked me straight away and was gutted when it ended - definitely need to get my hands on the full version!!

I have read and own all of Chris Carters books to date so when I saw this it made my day! Unfortunately its only the first 3 chapters and where it ends is just cruel!!!
The 2 main characters, Hunter and Garcia are back and face "one of the most shocking crime scenes they have ever attended"
And it is at their arrival to that scene that this teaser ends so I still don't know what that is!!! But i cant wait to find out!
If you haven't read any of the books in this series then i strongly urge you to do so now before this one is released! If you like Chelsea Cain and Karin Slaughter then you are in for a treat with these!
It is going to be a long wait until 8th Feb now!
I have had this book pre ordered since the 9th June!

As a fan of this author you only have to see his CV and background to be impressed and realise he may know even more than he actually writes about. Owning a number of his books ready to read, when time allowed I thought this sample of his latest novel would offer me an insight on his place on my to read list.
I am utterly impressed and he clearly goes up my pending reads and number one when 1 next fancy a dark thriller.
The first chapter oozes a sense of impending doom, like watching a David Attenborough documentary when an animal is likely to be hunted and served up for lunch. We are left in limbo as before anything happens we are taken to meet are lead detective. Back story is introduced and a sense of dedication revealed but this is cut short before we are taken with him to the crime scene. This final chapter available is just chapter 4 we know it refers to the person we thought was in danger but here we have talk about the horrors of the murder and th reactions on others that viewed the body and by the end of this chapter the detectives and the reader hav still to enter and observe the scene of crime.
What torture for me to leave he book at this time. Wha more evidence to suggest that here is a written who can build tension and leave the reader wanting more. I guess it also points up his work as potentially being inputdownable, and best read when time affords or an all night session will not compromise what you need to achieve tomorrow.

I hadn’t realised this was only a sample, I was just settling in for a long reading session when I came to the end! Can’t wait to get my hands on full book!

Just finished a small little taster of the upcoming Hunter novel,Gallery of the dead,I can't wait literally can't wait for February and its release,the taster wets your appetite just enough to hook you onto the line and keeping you dangling,much the same as the victims of Chris Carter's books.If like me you like your body count high and your killing ingenious then these books are for you seriously the man's mind must be in one he'll of a state sometimes
With his plotlines and Hunter is endearing despite being a genius adding much more to the novels not just a main character he is as equal to the books as the killer and victims,Give it a go I guarantee you will be hooked!!

OMG! Chris Carter is my favourite author and he never fails to deliver. As usual, i was gripped from the very start! I absolutely can’t wait to read the rest of the story
