Review of The Trafficking Murders
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Trafficking Murders" by Brian O'Hare.]
A wealthy, obnoxious man calls the police when he finds the body of a dead Chinese girl in his front yard. Chief Inspector Sheehan and Sergeant Denice of the violent crimes unit are called to the scene to conduct an investigation and try to find out who the killer is. Lin Hui, on the other hand, is on the run because she wants to quit the life she was tricked into, and after finding out that her friend Minzhu was found dead, she is more scared than ever that she might have the same fate. Alaina, a poor Romanian girl, finds herself in the middle of a sex trafficking ship with other girls headed to Ireland after she was promised a dream life by a stranger who, accidentally or not, stopped at their farm for directions. How will the two girls survive? Will they ask for help or try to survive on their own? Are they going to be rescued or end up dead like Migzhu? You have to read the book to find out.
The book The Trafficking Murders by Brian O'Hare has an outlined message on the sex and slavery trafficking issue. The author tries to tell the story and inform people of these problems by making them live through Alaina and Lin Hui. That is an inspiring thing to do, to help spread knowledge about these issues through stories people can relate to more than they could ever do through the news. Apart from that, he has also done a marvelous job with the plot and the flow of the story. Even though they were two different stories, he managed to link and connect them through events and tiny details to make them into a coherent and outstanding novel. The characters were well developed, with a variety of them that would actually exist in real life, like the hard-working, rules-abiding boss, but tender and caring on the inside, and the macho hulk-like colleague and the only female detective that is courageous and strong. He even added an intelligent man of color to the story, which I appreciate because it shows the absence of racism.
There wasn't much that I didn't like about the book. It was very well written and well-edited. The author's writing style was simple and easy to read and follow.
I would rate this book a 4 out of 4 because of the courage the author had to shed light on these kinds of issues through his book, and because of the great storyline and ending. The book was well edited and easy to follow.
I would recommend this book to people who want to have some knowledge about the sex and slavery issues and how the people who are involved operate and how the victims feel and end up. The book does have profanity and sexual scenes in it, considering that is what it is about, but it is detailed. I advise people under age to get their parents' consent before reading.
