The police caption Blake was also a complete jerk. After the failure to catch the killer, she was so disparaging. And she was not supporting the detectives in any way. They didn't even know that there were some recent victims, who could be alive. All they had to do was read the complete diary. nenuskyla. Bare, visiškai dėl atsitiktinumo, jį apšvarina apsukri vagilė. Andžela nežinojo nei ką, nei iš ko vagia, bet iš baro išėjo su didžiuliu krepšiu.

Knygos silpnasis bruožas, kuris mane nuvylė, tai pats detektyvas Hanteris. Žinau, kad jis nuo pirmosios serijos dalies yra visažinis, kartais tai jaučia labiau, kartais mažiau, na bet šioje knygoje tai mane erzino skaityti, kaip visi veikėjai aplink padaryti "kvaili" ir uždavinėjantys klausimus su AKIVAIZDŽIAIS atsakymais, bet tik vienintelis Hanteris žino atsakymą. Jis žinos visus atsakymus, visus sprendimus ir šiaip iš esmės yra vaikščiojantis enciklopedija. Šis bruožas knygoje su kiekviena dalimi darosi vis neskanesnis, o gal tiesiog "Parašyta krauju" to turėjo daug daugiau, nei visos dalys iki šiol...

Summary

If I have any quibbles on the plot it is probably the Detective Garcia character who I thought was weak being used mostly as someone for Hunter to explain things to, even when he does reach his own conclusion we are usually reminded that Hunter had got there before him . . . as if we didn't already know. Garcia needs to be pepped up with more of his own personality rather than just being a prop for Hunter.
