You set the trap. Now you can’t escape.
When an online prank goes viral and triggers a spate of gruesome murders, documentary maker Hazel Salter watches in horror. But then Hazel’s childhood friend, Meredith Hickman, is the next victim and Hazel knows she has to find out what happened to her. Is it one killer or more? Random acts of violence, or part of a bigger, twisted plan? The police have no leads, but Hazel has a theory – one she’ll stop at nothing to prove – and she also has a film crew. She’ll make a documentary, catch the killer, and give Meredith justice. Her stage is the abandoned amusement park where Meredith was found. Her cast are the family and friends the killer left behind. And her crew? They keep disappearing, one by one… A shocking, ‘just-one-more-page’ thriller with the most twisted killer you’ll ever meet. This book will hook you from the first page and keep you guessing long into the night. PERFECT for fans of James Patterson, Mo Hayder, and Chris Carter.
My Thoughts
4/5 I was eager to start this book, a brand new author always brings anticipation and excitement. It's certainly very well written and has a great opening. It keeps you wanting and needing to turn the pages. Richard Parker is certainly an author whose books I will be looking out for in the future. Documentary maker Hazel Salter is appalled when she discovers that what started as an online prank has seen her Childhood friend Meredith killed. Along with others, this killer has targeted people who joined in the Twitter hashtag. #BeMyKiller I'm almost to scared to put that # Hazel is to make a documentary about what happened to Meredith in the hope she can figure out who the killer is. The police don't seem to have any idea but Hazel has suspicions. Her Documentary is being made on a shoe string, Hazel is skint and doesn't have the money to pay any of her cast, she is using the family and friends of the victims. But slowly her crew seems to be getting smaller. Is the killer actually amongst them. A very interesting read, highlighting the use of social media today, and shows how things can go very wrong. It certainly keeps you guessing with plenty of tension and great twists it's a book that will keep you interested.
