DEATH IN MIND; A mind bending psychological thriller with a terrific twist:: The DCI Jamie Carver Series, Book Five

This series is so gripping and addictive, I just can't put it down. This book is another fabulous thriller that has lots of twists and turns and is wrote so cleverly. It's a must read

As always this book didn’t disappoint

So enjoyed this book....Get into Jamie..follow his character...brilliantly written....sub plots full nicely into place...Jamie goes the culprit but proving it !!!And all the time the niggling presence of Ms Crane.

I have not been disappointed with any off the books in this series. All have been fast paced, gripping and a darn good yarn. I have absolutely loved them!

On every page. This book of the series concentrated on Jess who believes that she has discovered a fraudulent case. She gradually gains the interest and support of Jamie Carver to find a way through the mind games as those innocently involved begin dying....

Every time I read Robert's DCI Carver books I get into trouble, I start reading and then can't put them down until I've finished them.Death In Mind is no exception, Jamie and Jess take on a case that is marginal at the very least. As the storyline unfolds it becomes a labyrinth of twists and turns that makes you look at one person's ability to control individuals minds on a scale that cannot be envisaged.Brilliant read.

The foreword sets up the narrative that if you didn't know better would seem fantastical. But as you are drawn into the story you can not help but believe. The tension builds nicely and the protagonist is suitably despicable.Once again Jamie Carver and Jess Greylake go to great lengths to expose this intriguing and original serial killer.Kept me glued to my kindle until they caught him. Or did they?

Ooh, I do love a good book that messes with your head, and Death in Mind fits the bill perfectly. It scared the merry heck out of me in places, and I had to put it down once or twice. Just the idea that someone can use Derren Brown-style psychology and subtle use of language to perpetrate horrible crimes, is terrifying. It's made me a little bit paranoid, actually, so thanks for that, Mr Barker. Seriously though, this is a cracking read. And I'm intrigued to know what's going to happen next with Jamie Carver, Jess Greylake, and ... well, no spoilers. Truly gripping stuff.

The killer is a real fiend. The psychological mind control he engaged in is SCARY; reality without actual awareness! What IF someone were using these same skills; just hasn't caught the attention of the justice system. Perhaps, matching similar occurances hasn't been considered because like the plot each death has been different from the last, no two alike. Catching the attention of a concerned citizen -- how to go about explaining the subliminal theories, is the question. PottsvillePA_08192023.

Super Buch mit interessanter Idee dahinter…

I have read all the Jamie Carver books and love the series - this book is unputdownable so much so I could not go to sleep last night until I finished it - can’t wait for the next book 😊

The absorption in this entry in the series, echoed that of Carver, as he determines to prove the villain is nothing but murderous, greedy sociopath. Yeah, he's smart, resourceful, clever...but Carver is more than up to the task. Once the method is understood, appreciated, Carver's learning curve increases quickly. And that is not a bad thing, except for the culprit. I appreciate the level of competence Mr Barker brings to his writing. His law enforcement craftsmanship AND his capabilities as a writer. Well done, sir!

A good story very dry at times. I hate the ending. That thread just won't go away and I'm tired of it.
