Review by Laila_S -- The Dark Web Murders by Brian O'Hare
” I am Memein. I am emotionally detached from my killings. I am not, therefore, a murderer. I am an instrument of nemesis, a punisher.” This is just a fraction of the intrigue offered by The Dark Web Murders (The Inspector Sheehan Murders #4) by Brian O’Hare.
I rate this amazing well wrote, well-edited novel 4 out of 4. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel that centers around Sheehaan and his detective team investigating murders committed by an intelligent psychopath who describes himself as a punisher and emotionally detached from his killings. The killer uses the untraceable dark web to document his unholy thoughts and confessions in a highly intelligent manner and therefore leaves the reader perplexed. O’Hare went over and beyond my expectations with his brilliant writing therefore this book does not deserve anything below a 4.
It can be hard reading the gruesome murders committed by the psychopath without feeling the need to look away or cringe, especially when we read about man's best friend being poisoned and slowly, painfully meeting his end. This was the hardest to read and maybe what I disliked most, we could have done just fine without it! The reader is also informed about several murders described in lurid detail that can make one shy away from the cruelty. O’Hare allows us to divulge into the mind of the humorous, taunting killer who describes himself as a nemesis detached from his killings. Memeins blogs were brilliantly written and the best part of the novel.
I do not recommend this book to children or faint-hearted as I have mentioned the killing scenes are explicit. If you do, however, enjoy thrilling and suspenseful writing, you should consider this novel and would not be disappointed. The first usage of borderline profanity would be on page 15 “both men were naked and in a state of advanced arousal.” I also noted non-borderline profanity starting on page 6 “f*ck”.
O’Hare adds a list of characters and their role in the novel, to begin with, which is quite needed for the vast amount of characters. The author brilliantly gives each character a personality of its own and allows the reader to care for many of them, even the smart, taunting nemesis!
O’Hare includes many aspects in his novel such as politics, police procedures, forensic science, psychology, politics, literature, religion, and other intriguing issues that we face as a people today. The author did an outstanding job and should be widely recognized for it.
