Crime thrillers are not my preference. However, I do know a great review when I see one and this one is excellent. I can tell that O'Hare is capable of creating much excitement in his audience.

A serial killer that brags about his murders on the Dark Web? Sounds very creepy and chilling. Glad you found this to be well-written and that the author was able to write in different writing styles. For this kind of story, it's good to hear that the suspense level and the plot was well done. Not sure how I feel about the gruesome murders. Also, too bad about the errors you found, but it's good to know that they didn't detract from your enjoyment of the story. Thank you for sharing!

This is a challenging read. How is inspector Sheehan going to capture an intelligent and proactive serial killer? Quite an intriguing concept.

This was a really good book. I enjoyed it thoroughly, and I'm so glad to see that you did as well. It is very dark and gruesome, so it was nice to see that mentioned. I know some readers aren't keen on that sort of thing, so knowing beforehand is always a good thing. Great review!

I look forward to reading this novel. The sample and the review both seem to indicate a well written, provocative mystery thriller. All signs point to a really good read!

The plotting is very interesting. Especially in this case where the victim is a Judge himself. How far will they go with investigation... The novel is filled with suspense and mysteries. Great review

I don't like gruesome but you make it sound too good to pass up! Excellent writing, suspense, and a horrible killer smart enough to throw out a diversion for the cops? Yes, I'll read this.
I also like that it's set in Ireland. That should add just enough difference in culture to add to the interest.

A well-written story, written in a different style sounds appealing. I love reading crime and mysteries books. I'm adding the book on my want to read bookshelf.

This sounds like my kind of book. C/T/M/H is one of my favourite genres and the storyline of this book makes me want to start reading it immediately. I'm going to do my best to find the killer before the author reveals him/her. So, thanks for the great review.

I always have liked crime stories and The Dark Web Murders seems to be a good one, although is a part of a series, it can be read alone. This novel relates about a detective who investigates severals murders, of course I think this novel should like to crime thrillers' fans.

Great review! It sounds like a great crime story. I love how you mention that the author is able to make it seem like someone else is writing the killer's blog. It shows his true talent as an author. I'm looking forward to reading this and potentially some of his other books.

I am a fan of crime thrillers so I am so enthusiastic to read this book. I wonder who the murderer is and how will Inspector Sheehan resolve this case.

It sounds like the author is a good storyteller and that the mystery murderer is kept secret until the end. Sheehan and Stewart work together on finding the murderer, who brags on the dark web. I will have to pass on reading about the gruesome murders. It sounds a bit too graphic for me.
