Books with related topics

I have recently finished two books dealing with a  common topic; the deep dark web:

I was given a forward copy of Lee Child's Make Me from the publisher. I couldn't wait to crack open the latest Jack Reacher and I wasn't disappointed!

He drifts into a Midwestern town, Mother's Rest, on a whim (as he does ) and invites trouble (as he does). He literally bumps into a woman whose PI colleague is supposed to be meeting with here. Against his better nature he finds himself assisting in her search for her colleague. The town folk are suspicious and something seems amiss. After digging around they realise that he was working on something big. Following his vague leads, they stumble upon a website found on the deep web. What they uncover is far more disturbing than anything Child has written about before...

If I go any further it would be pointless for you to read the novel AND Reacher fans would never forgive me!

I write a monthly newsletter of current and forthcoming titles for the bookshop I work at. So I often come across intriguing blurbs. Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter  caught my eye.

This is the story of a loving family torn apart by the abduction of the eldest child. 

Claire, newly widowed after a violent crime finds out that her husband is not the man she thought he was for 19 years. Discovering snuff porn on the day of his funeral and caught in a game of cat an mouse with the police, her estranged sister Lydia is the only person who can help her. 

Together they discover the extent of Claire's husbands betrayal. 

Together they must fight to stay alive, fight to find truth and finally find their sister.

A tight plot taut with suspense, this book must not be missed. Fans of Gillian Flynn will LOVE this!

After reading what goes on in the deep dark web I realised that 99% of us are oblivious to this hidden world and all the the nastiness associated with it. 

There is an actual market for the most heinous crimes you could think off. And in this day and age with the internet being so easily assessable, these violent crimes are exploding!

Two utterly fascinating reads. 

Go ahead... Do it! Pick up that book, I know you want to... Dinner can wait 😉
