‘Oh. My. Fluffing. Lord. From the very beginning this book grips hold of you and once it does it will not let you go … so dark, so twisted ... It's so bloody brilliant’ 5* Jen Med’s Book Reviews

Her eyelids were the only parts of her body she could move. The figure spoke, then retreated into the gloom. She couldn’t accept what they’d said. How could she have brought this on herself?

When an online prank goes viral and triggers a spate of gruesome murders, documentary maker Hazel Salter watches in horror. But then a new victim is found, her body bound to a pillar, and its Hazel’s childhood friend, Meredith Hickman. Hazel must find out what happened to her.

Is it one killer or more? Random, or part of a bigger plan?

The police have no leads, but Hazel has a theory – one she’ll stop at nothing to prove. With her film crew in tow, Hazel sets off for the abandoned amusement park where Meredith was found, to solve the crime, bring Meredith justice, and make the documentary of her lifetime. But as Hazel interviews the victims’ families and friends, people start disappearing.

As the death toll rises, Hazel realises someone close-by is targeting her team methodically. Can she uncover the truth before another life is lost, or will the killer get to Hazel first?

A gripping, ‘just-one-more-page’ thriller with the most twisted killer you’ll ever meet. This book will keep you guessing long into the night. PERFECT for fans of James Patterson, Karin Slaughter, and Tess Gerritsen.

Too many characters that didn't ready add to the story. Kept having to look back and see who was who. Definitely didn't know the killer because there were too many of those also. Enjoyed the general plot, just not all the seoarate storylines.

2.0 out of 5 stars Hard to follow,the story not that good , not the plots that it needed
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2018

I thought this sounded like a very good book, until you start reading it. It was very disappointing , the chapters were very small with not much details in any of them, their was murders, but just that it just happened . The details that would of made the story go better were not there. The story at other times just seemed to run on with no plot. At times a little hard to follow, you were not sure who was alive and who died. I believe you could find a better story to read if you want, don't think this would be it. Unless you enjoy Richard Parker, I don't think I will be reading anymore by him.

A truly messed-up read. There's a scene in here involving a motorcycle and superglue that will forever haunt my dreams. Sheesh, lol. Such a fun and ridiculous story that you can't help but have a blast. I removed a star due to the character April. I felt she was unnecessary and ended up adding nothing to the story. Perhaps Richard had greater plans for her originally, but in the final product she could have been removed completely and in no way affected the fun here. If you liked the Saw, Scream or Wrong Turn movies, give this one a go!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark and twisted - I loved it.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 29, 2017

Oh. My. Fluffing. Lord. From the very beginning this book grips hold of you and once it does it will not let you go. Richard Parker treats the reader to such a startling opening that you cannot help but stop, eyes opening wider and wider as you read each word and come to comprehend what is happening. This book is so dark, so twisted, and with a sense of foreboding and menace which grows and evolves with every single page turn… It’s so bloody brilliant that it made me smile. Absolutely, one hundred percent right up my street and no mistake. Loved it.

But how in the heck do I review it? I absolutely want to shout about every thing I loved in this book but to do that would give away too many spoilers. The murders… man. Remind me not to upset Mr Parker as he has a very twisted mind. Each one was unique. Tailored to the individual, quite literally, based on their hashtagged responses to a Twitter account in the name of ‘bemykiller’. And good god are they brutal. I have to be honest. This is probably the darkest book I have read that has been published under the Bookouture label but this is not a bad thing. While the murders are at varying points described very clearly, it is still not in a particularly graphic way. Don’t get me wrong – readers of a weak disposition will likely feel nauseated. There were times when even I grimaced and I’ve been addicted to horror and thrills of that ilk since I was three years old. It takes a lot to spook me. But they also made me smile. In a good way – not remotely psychopathic at all. Nope. Not me.

When I say they made me smile in a good way, it is because they surprised me. In much the same way that you always know in a horror movie that the guy or gal on their own was going to bite it, so will you understand what is going to happen to the characters in this book. What you won’t see coming is how. Oh and how indeed. There is one scene in particular in which I thought I knew what was going to happen. Thought it was going to be a little tired and obvious when bam… Holy crapamoly. Where in the heck did that come from? I was totally blindsided and grinning like the Cheshire Cat. Man, I wish I could say more but come see me when you’ve read it. We can compare notes.

Now all of the characters in this book are very well developed. I really liked Hazel and her team. They weren’t all perfect, some seeming very suspect in character or motive, but they were three dimensional. Believable. And with every last one of them I was invested in them, in their safety. Wondering what was going to happen to them. Admittedly more out of a grotesque interest in how they might meet their maker, but nonetheless I cared ;). Only kidding. This really was a team which grew on me and I was willing them to get away, worrying that it just wasn’t possible, knowing that every step they took could lead them into a trap. And as for the others taking part in the documentary – the relatives of the victims and the man behind the Twitter identity – they were a piece of work. There wasn’t a single one who had a redeeming quality. You can understand their anger, their grief but still…

And the ending… The killer… Jeepers Creepers. How in the fluff did you pull that off Mr Parker because pull it off you did. Totally another bam! In. Your. Face! moment and I loved it. So many red herrings, so many false suspects. Such fluffing good writing that you have got me hooked and you now have a fan for life.

Gah! I wish I could say more but you just need to read this for yourselves. If you are expecting warm and fluffy… Well, some of the characters managed to experience warm. And I suppose some came up against fluffy, after a fashion, but that’s as close as you’re going to get with this one. This book is creepy, it’s gory, it’s gruesome. It’s quite simply brilliant.

I'm surprised there were any characters left by the end of the book as were all being killed off in the most horrific ways.....! The story never really got to the point it was 'supposed' to be about and just seemed to veer off track an awful lot. Well written though nonetheless.

WOW!!! I was completely and utterly gripped from the very first sentence, right to the end. I missed my stop on the train I was so engrossed. I loved Hazel. I loved how real all the characters were and how I really cared what happened - to Hazel, Rena and April - but at the same time couldn't wait to see how the next person was going to die. I was so, so scared for April. I actually almost cried for her. But then on the other hand, I was shamelessly laughing out loud while also feeling physically sick at just how inventively horrific each murder was. How on earth the author pulled this off, I don't know, but it is truly brilliant. This is the most gripping thriller I have read in a long time. Best murder in the book? Welllll..... that would be telling. But if you've read this, I suspect we're in agreement.

This book had so much promise. I was really looking forward to as I haven't read anything like its description in a while. I was expecting something like Boris Starling's Messiah but was left entirely disappointed! Maybe it was just me lacking concentration but I got to 80% and stopped as I felt it wasn't worth continuing which I never do

Wow what a start to a book! I thought I was in for a real gory treat but turned out not so much
Didn’t really enjoy the storyline it was a bit boring and not very convincing
Raced through the last 30% though when the gore stepped up a notch again!
Gave 4 stars purely based on the squeamishness of it!! Actually turned away from reading it on several occasions like you would a scary movie!
