My rating: 3 of 5 stars

When Solomon's sister is found drugged and in a coma after an online date, Solomon can't believe this was just a terrible accident. Determined to find out what happened to his sister, and with the police unwilling to help, Solomon begins to investigate on his own. He soon uncovers a rash of similar cases of women who have been found brutally murdered or assaulted after an online date. There is a predator out there working the streets of London, preying on young women. Solomon sets out to bring him to justice, putting him on a collision course with a deadly killer who is fiendishly clever and more twisted than anyone could possibly imagine...


After reading the blurb of this one it really got me excited. We alive in a digital age now, where meeting strangers online for dates is the norm, so what actually happens then if/when something goes wrong? I am sure this is something most women in particular perhaps don't like to think about and being married, thankfully I haven't had to give online dating a second thought. Saying this, I was interest in the premise of the book and couldn't wait to get started.

Can I just say though, the image on the front of the book has absolutely nothing to do with the story, I kept reading thinking, surely there is going to be a domestic and someone will set fire to the house, no, this never happened. I am unsure why this was chosen for the front cover...

Tiffany has been admitted to hospital after a night out, one where she was meeting a potential date, she is in a really bad way after being found half drowned and is now currently in a coma. Solomon is Tiffany's brother and he wants the police to find out exactly what has happened and for the person responsible to be caught.

The book really is the journey of Solomon, we learn a lot about him, his past, how he has become the person he currently is and his backstory. It did feel at times like Tiffany's story was sidelined as we got to know more about Solomon and his brother. This was O.K and I did enjoy what I read, however it was not exactly what I was expecting.

Overall the story was O.K, it was very clever in places with the dates all being linked but just not what I expected.

I would like to thank the publisher for sending this in exchange for an honest review.
