An Evil Mind

A Novel

By: Chris Carter

Narrated by: George Newbern

A prolific and ingenious serial killer is unmasked by a Los Angeles detective with a dark past of his own in this “roller coaster ride that will leave you breathless” by Top 10 Sunday Times (UK) bestselling author Chris Carter.

A freak accident in rural Wyoming leads the sheriff’s department to arrest a man for a possible double homicide, but further investigations suggest a much more horrifying discovery: a serial killer who has been kidnapping, torturing, and mutilating victims all over the United States for at least twenty-five years.

The suspect claims he is a pawn in a huge labyrinth of lies and deception—but can he be believed?

The case is immediately handed over to the FBI, but this time they’re forced to ask for help from ex-criminal behavior psychologist and lead detective with the Ultra Violent Crime Unit of the LAPD, Robert Hunter. As he begins interviewing the apprehended suspect, terrifying secrets are revealed, including the real identity of a killer so elusive that no one, not even the FBI, had any idea he existed…until now.

This dramatic and suspense-laden thriller, perfect for fans of Thomas Harris’s classic The Silence of the Lambs, has “twists and turns and cliff-hangers abound” (Booklist) and will keep you guessing until the very last page.

Couldn't put it down!

What made the experience of listening to An Evil Mind the most enjoyable?

Twists I didn't see coming!

Which character – as performed by George Newbern – was your favorite?

Robert Hunter

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES! But it was too long -- I don't pound books, I listen when I'm working out. This one I listened to at home because I HAD TO KNOW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT!

Any additional comments?

Cannot wait for more Chris Carter/Robert Hunter Books to become available on Audible!

Everything is explained to the reader like a child.

Where to start with this book? I was hoping for a police procedural because that’s how it was described. Far from it. The FBI are helpless and stupid. The reader is spoon-fed even the most obvious details. I felt like I was reading the outline for a book that was going to be written. Part of the issue is the main character and the narrator have the same exact voice so you immediately don’t like the narrator because it’s the same voice as the serial killer. I don’t know, I know a lot of people like this book but to me it just seemed like there was no mystery or build up. So many holes in the plot. The female lead is unintelligent and unprofessional. I really wanted to like this book but it was trying too hard to be shocking and rushed, and the story line suffered.

First read of Hunter series....AWESOME

Clever, twisted, nothing held back. You really get into the mind of a serial killer and of Hunter.

Sorry I bought this

Books about serial killers were hot commodities when they first hit the market. Have you noticed how few come out each year now? This book is a brave attempt tap the S.K. readers. It is well written, it has a new angle but it is hollow. The plot follows a common outline (except for that angle) which is boring. Frankly.

The main villain

An amazing listen while working . Some jaw dropping moments and the characters are well written.
