Nurse Nell Sweeney walks to and
from the hospital where she works every day believing that no harm will come of
her until one day when she is taken.
When Nell’s friend and flatmate
makes the call to say that she hasn’t seen her for two or three days, her parents
Marian and Stephen who bought their daughter up to be an independent woman, are
now questioning their judgement especially as she flew the nest at a young age.
A man in their area is also targeting
women through fear and logging his intentions and results on the dark web.
Working alone, he thrives on the responses he gets on the website until someone
suggests they team up and work together –but this is one step too far for “him”.
I really enjoyed this book, although the subject matter was
hard hitting and sometimes a little too difficult to read for a long while. I
think it’s fair to say that it was a disturbing read and wasn’t the kind of
book that I could devour in one or two sittings. I found that I had to put it
down, take a few deep breathes, do something else, and then come back to it. It
was also quite harrowing in places, so I wouldn’t suggest this as a book to
read if you are feeling particularly low or vulnerable. Saying all that – this is
a subject surrounding women and fear and is something that needs to be talked
about and addressed so that it stops being “normal” and this is something that
the author covers in her note at the end of the story.
