A review by bethelizabethuk
The Scent of Death by Simon Beckett

4.0

This is book 6 in the David Hunter series. I haven’t read any of the others but I don’t feel like I suffered. I may go back and check out the rest of the series though.

I found this one a bit of a slow starter and the chapters jumped around a bit. Once I got used to it though and the story got going I was soon sucked in. David Hunter is a forensic anthropologist and I found the characters extremely well written. Simon Beckett covers the science without making it over complicated or tedious. It also kept me guessing. Every time I thought I knew who it was it turned out I was wrong. If you love to see the sciencey side of crime books then definitely check this one out.

Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review
