This book gives a chilling insight into the mind of a murderer. It also deals with the issue of internet trolls – so called because they dwell in the darkness of anonymity. Val McDermid more straightforwardly refers to them as “bawbags”.
Trolls rapidly move from insults or comments within the normal range of free speech to horrific threats couched in the vilest possible terms.
In this work of fiction the police are able to combat this new crime. In real life it will take them a while to catch up.
It is written in a unique style and the audio version, which is narrated by Saul Reichlin is also excellent.
