From the very beginning, the Robyn Carter series captured my heart. From Robyn and her team, to the incredibly well thought-out cases and all the stuff in the background involving Davies, it had me hooked and I knew this series would be special. So whenever I'm offered the opportunity to read the next addition, I quite happily drop whatever it is I'm doing and tell the husband to take care of dinner himself because ... well, priorities, people. 

With every single book, I think this is the best one yet and that I couldn't possibly love this series any more if I tried. And yet every time, Carol Wyer effortlessly proves me completely wrong. Not surprising then that I think The Chosen Ones is an absolute corker and the author has knocked it out of the park once again. Like way out of the park. At least two cities beyond it.

A young man is found murdered in a cornfield. Stuff of nightmares right there but I'll let you discover that for yourself. You're welcome. It seems the killer is somehow trying to convey a message but will the team figure out the clues? The case is hampered by a rich and hugely unlikeable businessman, who's entirely unwilling to cooperate and making Robyn's life a living hell. However, if you know her, then you also know she doesn't give up without a fight and she'll do whatever it takes to get to the truth.

Just when you're settling into the investigation, trying to look for clues so you could maybe figure things out, Carol Wyer comes up with a devilish and heartbreaking chapter and just massively sucker-punches you right in the feels! Killers aren't supposed to be people you feel sympathy for and yet. I enjoy moments like these. It makes them look human instead of just randomly psycho. That makes sense in my head and maybe it will to you as well once you get to reading this book. But at the same time, they're insanely vicious, yet also highly creative. I almost sound as if I'm admiring them (I'm not, in case you wondered) but their murderous ways are quite something.

Of course, a Robyn Carter book isn't complete without mention of Davies but my lips are sealed so tightly, I may never be able to open my mouth again. There is an event (vague, I know, so sorry!) that made me feel far more emotional than I thought it would. Like serious lump in throat sort of thing. I may never recover.

If you're a fan of this series, I promise you, this book has everything and more than you could possibly ask for! It's well plotted, gripping, utterly addictive, full of great characters and a total page-turner. In short, The Chosen Ones is an absolute corker and it will leave you begging for more! It gets all the stars from me! I continue to love this series fiercely and for as long as Carol Wyer keeps writing, I'll be right there at the front of the line to keep reading.
