Review of The Trafficking Murders
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Trafficking Murders" by Brian O'Hare.]
Although it has been illegal for many years and despite the hard work of police and lawmakers worldwide, human trafficking continues to be a very nasty, difficult problem to handle. In the fifth installment of Brian O’Hare’s Inspector Sheehan series, the team finds themselves caught up in a whirlwind of lies, shady business dealings, and trafficking of poor, down on their luck humans. What starts out as a straightforward case quickly develops into an onslaught of chaos, filth, and the worst of humanity. Sheehan and his team work against the clock to try and save the lives of many while getting justice for the ones that have been misused and thrown out like trash, all while doing their best to not step on other investigators toes and ruining their cases.
Despite this being the fifth book in the series, readers can expect to pick up The Trafficking Murders and be quickly immersed in the story. Even without reading the first four books in the series, O’Hare does an amazing job of working in details that keep the story flowing even without the structure that the previous books can provide. The amount of detail provided also manages to keep you engrossed in the story without any bogging down or oversimplification. Unlike most books, this also keeps you guessing about who could possibly be the culprit. The big reveal of who the culprit is will leave readers astounded.
Looking back, there weren’t any real negative aspects to this book. It had a great story, clear descriptions, captivating characters, and plenty of justice at the end. Readers will find that they are excited for the next installment, but not dying due to a cliffhanger.
The Trafficking Murders leaves nothing behind in its telling and for that it deserves to receive a 3 out of 4 stars. O’Hare created a story that not only captivates but brings to attention a problem that affects most of the world. People may try to turn a blind eye to this but when it is put in front of them it is hard to ignore. The content is not easy to read and even harder to write but O’Hare doesn’t shy away. At the same time, he doesn’t shove the gritty details so hard that readers need to walk away from the book. There’s just enough information to burn the idea in the forefront of your mind before moving on.
This book deals with the harsh reality of many people, both young and old. Because of this, I would recommend this for young adults and up. High schoolers would probably benefit from the reading of this as well because it can help open their eyes to the world they will soon be entering and may have already entered. Middle schoolers can read this with caution. It has some heavy messages and imagery that may be too disturbing for such young minds. It really is more of a case-by-case basis when it comes to younger readers.
