Summary
He's posted on your wall.
He's following you on Twitter.
He knows where you are right now…
When Amy receives an email from her older sister, Becky, announcing that she's off travelling and "don't try to find me", she is worried. Becky would never do such a thing on a whim.
Amy – who is recovering from an abusive relationship that has left her terrified of love – soon finds that Becky had started using online dating sites. Aided by Becky's neighbour, Gary, Amy sets about tracking down the men her sister had dated, following a trail that leads her into the darkly seductive world of internet hook-ups.
But Amy is unaware that a sadistic killer is watching – a killer who’s been using the internet to stalk, torture and kill. Now he’s got something very special planned for Amy and she is about to find out that romance really is dead.

A great read!
This was a great book.
The plot was good with several twists and turns and a surprising end which was a bit of a twist!
Really enjoyable and I'm happy to have discovered this writing duo.
Great story

Interesting story. Shame about the narration.
I would have enjoyed this book much more had the female narrator been less concerned with having a pretty sounding voice and more concerned with bringing some energy to the characters. She made Amy and Becky, already generic and basic names, sound interchangeable and vapid. I kept getting them confused and I didn't care about either of them. I found the killer much more compelling. He should've been developed more instead of slapping on his back story at the end. My other issue with this book is the writers must be from a totally different generation because of their obvious contempt for online dating, sex parties and hook ups. It's fine if you want to use this story as a cautionary tale, however, don't try to make that the entire takeaway when two of the characters suffered domestic abuse at the hands of boyfriends they did not meet online. This story mightve actually been more interesting coming only from the pov of the killer. But give it a try if you dare.

Not for the faint hearted
This book is dark and at time quite graphic. Really good story but some parts are disturbing.

Spoilt by the convoluted ending.
Loved it right up until the last few chapters when the villains were unmasked.... and then it all went pear shaped. I know it's fiction but the ending is so far fetched it's unreal.

Excellent
Great listening. I have enjoyed Mark Edwards books previously, and this was no exception. Recommended listening/reading.

Good read
This book has all of the suspense that I've come to expect from Edwards and Voss. They excellently weave together their characters individual narratives, and keep you guessing all the way. You initially start feeling sympathy for a character and this gets slowly eroded by the twists and turns in the plot. Edward and Voss do have a tendency for the unrealistic and depending on your tastes that can be a positive or a negative. I enjoyed this book - it's very easy to listen to and to follow. The narrator portrayed the characters well although her accents, at times, were quite laughable.

Great book if you can stomach the violence
Really enjoyed the book. Kept you guessing till the end. Not sure it needed the horrific and graphic accounts of the rape and murder scenes though.

Gruesome villains!
Which character – as performed by Jessica Ball and Ben Elliot – was your favourite?
She voiced all of the characters extremely well. Only lost a star due to incorrect emphasis occasionally.
Any additional comments?
The main villain in this story did some very gruesome things. However, the descriptions of these were not over-egged. Parts of the book are nasty, but not gratuitously so. There was a point when it seemed that all men who weren't in the Police force were dangerous, but it was so well written and had me on the edge of my seat throughout, that this was forgivable.
