NURTURED EVIL


 

 

A series of gruesome murders provoke CID to form a Major Enquiry Team, led by DCI Fancourt. The killer teases the police by leaving clues, inserted in the throat and etched on the foreheads of the victims. During the manhunt, a host of suspects are pursued, including a vagrant, a homosexual playboy, and an ex-teacher. DS Matt Webber’s unsavoury gambling habits prompt him to conspire with the father of one of the victims. New recruit, DC Paula Tompkins joins the team and is introduced to the horrors of the investigation. This haunting story uncovers a paedophile ring; but are they somehow involved with the macabre murders? What is the harrowing connection between ex-teachers, David Lawrence and Edward Gorman. What past secret does eccentric suspect, Marcus Cummings conceal from his homosexual partner? Nurtured Evil takes you on a frightening and mind boggling journey through the streets of London. Not until the final pages will you discover the identity of the killer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Depraved Killer

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 November 2023

This is the second book I’ve read by Anthony Hulse and it is just as thoroughly enjoyable as the first book I read, Beyond the Dunes.

Another serial killer is on the loose, one who sings nursery rhymes as his victims die and leaves a gruesome clue carved on the victim's forehead as well as something stuffed down their throats. A team of detectives gather together to crack the case but evidence of who is behind the killings is hard to find. The resulting press reports about the killer singing nursery rhymes prompted an ex-teacher to come forward as he remembered seeing something in the past involving someone singing nursery rhymes whilst involved in an act of depravity. He should have reported it in the past but the guy knew something about his own wrongdoing and so he was afraid to report it.

Be aware, the murders are violent so if you don’t like gory descriptions you may want to give it a miss, but if you can cope with that, this is a great story to read. I recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hunt for a serial killer

Trigger warning: very violent deaths! If you like the gruesome, then his is for you. I’ve given it a high rating because it is a good book, but not one I liked reading. I like my murders less harsh/descriptive. Set in London, in plenty of places that I know (I had a good time following the action) a serial killer is on the loose. There are plenty of suspects and plenty of mystery, and a page-turning extravaganza

 Evil is as evil does and Nurtured Evil rocks

By "Sooz 006"

Fast and pacey. This one gets to the action without any long pre-amble. A facinating romp round london with a killing on every corner and a serial killer to find. Some lovely characters my favourite is Marcus the mincer. He's a bad lad but you can't help but have a soft spot for him. I read a review on another authors work that said "Like King when he was raw and hungry for acclaim" I'd like to pass that compliment on to Mr. Hulse. This book is well worth a read, and I think there's more to come from Tony Hulse

 Evil it certainly is!!

By Jon Wright

A really creepy tale set in london ,well wrote, plenty of twists and turns in this first novel published by mr hulse,kept me on the edge of my chair and to be honest i couldn't put it down,chapter after chapter,different characters emerging,all of whom the author presented to you in detail,it was as if you could relate to them and best of all kept me panging for more right up until the last page.A really good read.

This book is certainly no lemon!

By A customer.

What can I say apart from brilliant!
The story and characters (some very colourful indeed) are well thought out and the attention to places and settings is descriptive without been overindulgent.
I found the plot worked well with enough of a subplot thrown in to keep you guessing to the very end.
A very chilling tale from a very gifted writer...

5.0 out of 5 stars gruesome

Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2015

Anthony Hulse.
Gruesome.
Nurtured Evil.
Straight from the very beginning the tempo is set for what is a gruesome read. There is at least one murderer on the loose but probably two in London. Some of these deaths are very violent so beware. All the chapters are nice and short, which I really like. This book is better than any James Patersons, very highly recommended.
