Summary

Like. Share. Follow.... Die.

The 'Hashtag Murderer' posts chilling, cryptic clues online, pointing to their next target. Taunting the police. Enthralling the press. Capturing the public's imagination. But this is no virtual threat. As the number of his followers rises, so does the body count.

Eight years ago two young girls did something unforgivable. Now, ambitious police officer Nasreen and investigative journalist Freddie are thrown together again in a desperate struggle to catch this cunning, fame-crazed killer. But can they stay one step ahead of him? And can they escape their own past?

Time's running out. Everyone is following the #Murderer. But what if he is following you? Online, no one can hear you scream....

Not what I expected

Really liked the sound of this one and to start with, I thought it seemed promising. The policemen are just too bungling and stupid though and the social media savvy reporter just too smug. Another reviewer suggested it was maybe aimed at a teen audience and I can see where that's coming from.
Gave up before the end and won't be buying the next in the series.

Ok story

The main character Freddie is very immature and I found it hard to like her. Otherwise it was an OK book, the narrator did a very good job.

Def worth a read

The first of two in the series. The story flows well and is believable. Characters are well thought out and honest. I read them the wrong way round so already knew the relationship between the main characters but it didn't spoil anything, each book could be read alone. Who dunnit keeps you guessing too!

Teen book??

Like the narrator a lot. Easily identifiable character voices and lovely voice to listen to.

Story is good and holds your attention as quite fast moving. Quite London centric and desperately trendy, but in view of main subject - social media - suppose it fits.

However, I'm not sure who it is aimed at. Half the time felt I was listening to a book aimed at teens. The 'heroine' is an outwardly cocky 23 year old, who feeds the homeless and stands up for the weak. A know all with no respect for authority or anybody over 30. All very stereotypical. The author made the police into uneducated idiots with little to no general knowledge and no understanding of technology whilst the heroine Freddie, a graduate made sense of the literary and historical references. To me she had little credibility and the author had to crow bar her into her role as social media consultant. I didn't like her character and preferred her childhood friend Nas, who at least seemed to have moved on from a sulky 15 year old.

At one point, the lead detective jumps and complains about a mobile 'shaking' when referring to a phone on the vibrate setting. At the same time he is talking about meow meow, so being credited with knowing about up to date recreational drugs whilst having no idea about mobile phones and A complete lack of knowledge about Twitter/Facebook etc

Despite getting a bit annoyed at the show off, mouthy Freddie seemingly out thinking everyone, I did enjoy the story. Despite being over the hill myself, I do understand and use social media as do plenty of others my age. The author should perhaps recognise this and not assume you have to be 23 to crack modern day crime.

Having criticised this I will get the next in the series as I liked the story but I hope characters are more rounded and have a bit of depth.
