The fact that the murderer uses blogs to brag about the murders make this novel fascinating yet terrifying. I enjoy a good crime story. Congrats on the book of the day! Great review.

This is an exciting murder mystery with a gruesome serial killer. I don't usually read books that have graphic violence, but I'll give this book a try since it is so highly recommended. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer. This was an excellent review. Good job!

A thriller revolving around a serial killer who boasts about his grisly crimes on the web sounds intense. Changing writing styles smoothly shows talent. Intrigue, suspense, and peril add to the thrill. That it was well edited is another bonus. I am not fond of gruesome murders, but I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the review!

Other than Agatha Christie novels I'm not a huge fan of murder mystery so I think I'm gonna skip this one. Thanks for the review.

I'm a long time reader of detective fiction, so I think Brian O'Hare's exciting series would be a great addition to my collection. I'm willing to start with the first book in the series featuring Inspector Sheehan and his team. Thanks for your review!

Another great Brian O'Hare murder mystery... Yaaas!! I love a great mystery and this one got my interest. I do appreciate that the author includes a strong female character, besides writing so well. Great job! Off to get this book for myself..

The Dark Web Murders by Brian O'Hare seems like a nice book but it's not my type of genre. I will recommend it. Nice review.

I love murder mysteries and I am really looking forward to this suspense thriller. What hooks me more is the fact that despite it being the fourth in the series, it is just as readable as a stand alone book. Thanks for an amazing review.

I love crime thrillers, and it's perfect that even though this is part of a series, it can still be read as a stand alone novel. I'm looking forward to reading this one, so I can find out how everything, and everyone, connects together! I also appreciate the list of characters at the beginning of the book for reference. Thank you for the review and recommendation - keep up the great work! :-)

The character profiles alone reflect the intricacy and excitement in the story. O'Hare seems to have another winner here. Let's get that perp with Chief Sheehan!

I wasn't aware of this author or this series of books until now. I like this kind of novel, so I'm looking forward to reading some of Brian O'Hare's stuff. Good to know that this book can be read as a stand alone too. Thanks for a very informative review!

The story is interesting, but I feel like I would be spending too much time going back and forth between the story and the glossary.

The plot is really intriguing. I like that the author has included the murderer's blogs written in an entirely different manner which are original, creative and refreshing. I very much want to experience the suspense created in this book. The review is great. Congrats on BOTD!
