There was, and is, nothing to dislike about this book, trust me. That is except if you are not a huge fan of crime novels and the gruesome murders featured in the story.
I like mystery novels but not about serial killers and the gruesome murders they commit. However, it sounds like this book is one to read by anybody who are fans of this genre. Thanks for your awesome review!

A well-written crime thriller and dectective novel with an entertaining, intricate, and brilliant plot, sounds like an interesting read. Finding out how the dectives will be handling the investigation of the brutal killings and the murderer makes me want to finish reading the book. Thank you so much for this wonderful review!

This book was very interesting, it really captured my imagination and had be wanting to continue reading as the story unfolds.

What was good is the way the author starts each paragraph, leaving you in suspense, hence to want to go on.

I did see a few(may i say typo) errors but that did not stop you nor did it lessen your interest.

Overall, the author has done a great job.

"The Dark Web Murders," by Brian O'Hara begins in August 2012 when Kevin Lane is on his way to Magilligan Prison to serve a seven year sentence for manslaughter. On his first night at the prison Kevin is attacked by Thomas McStravish and another prison while the guard is not around. The Warden and the prison doctor found Kevin dead and since the guard stated he saw no one else around then the Warden said it would be registered as a accidental death, fatal head injury which resulted from a fall in the shower. Then it is Sunday, August 2018 in the evening at the home of Judge Trevor Neeson where twelve seedy, rich and famous new 'patrons' are going to be initiated into 'The Club'. The next morning Edgar Doran, the judge's judicial assistant, goes to Judge Neeson 's home and finds him dead from a blunt force trauma to his head from a old-style police trucheon according to what the coroner states. I only read a few chapters of this book because it had too many characters, way too much descriptive details and the plot did not interest me at all. The details of the deaths and the way each of the characters were found dead was too horrific and gruesome for me. I definitely would not recommend this book to anyone under the age of eighteen because of this fact. If you enjoy gruesome crimes and detective stories then I am sure you will like this book. The author did include a list of the principal characters for handy reference and a glossary of Northern Ireland police terms and acronyms for the reader to refer to at the beginning of the book which will be helpful to them. I have to give this book 2*'s.

The Dark Web Murders by Brian O'Hare is a gripping tale with a perfect combination of #MurderMystery, #Crime, #Thriller, #Horror, and #Suspense. It follows the journey of Chief Inspector Jim Sheehan and his team in their quest to find the psychopath who is behind the ruthless killings. It is the fourth volume in the "Inspector Sheehan Mysteries" and a stand-alone read.

I found the plot interesting, but I was turned off by the gruesome killings. Thanks for the review.

Thank you for your review. I was on the edge of my seat reading it. This sounds like a book that I would love to read. I can't wait to read it. I love an author that can make his book complex, and I can't guess who the bad guy is.

Thanks for the review. I was so excited to hear this book can be read by itself. I haven’t read the others in this series and the cover caught my eye in a second. So excited to read it!

This thriller may be a little intense for me. I do love that the author's voice changed with the different characters. That is a good writer. Thanks for the review.

I love how you described the writing of the blogs seeming like they were written by a different author. This is interesting. I also liked how you pointed out the strong women factor of the story. Thanks for the great review!

A book where the author dispels the notion that women can't be as risk-taking as men is one I would love to read. I would be really interested to find out how the detectives will take the investigation of the merciless killings ahead.

I just finished reading the sample of The Dark Web Murders (The Inspector Sheehan Mysteries Book 4), by Brian O'Hare. Who is this murderer, and why did he or she kill the, albeit crooked and dishonest, judge? How does that relate to the murder of the seemingly benign inmate in the beginning of the story? I only discovered one minor misspelling, which did not confuse meaning in the sample. The sample is intriguing, and I will enjoy reading the rest of the book and am quite interested in reading the prior books in the series, based on that and this great review!
