There are bad dates, and there are killer dates.......'
I was really looking forward to reading the "Perfect Match" by D.B. Thorne, as I thoroughly enjoyed his previous book "Troll" and I'm very pleased that I wasn't disappointed - in fact I think I enjoyed it even more and found it utterly addictive.
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 and with no help from the police, Solomon begins to investigate on his own. He soon uncovers 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...
This was a fabulous book, pacy and entertaining, my ideal type of story with an intelligent plot, a scary killer and a very likeable hero out to solve the crimes using very unusual methods. On occasions I was chilled to the bone and for the first time in a very long time, I felt tense and actually scared! Well done to the author for quickening my heart, it really added to the atmosphere and enjoyment of the book.
Solomon was just fabulous and I was intensely curious as to why he hadn't left his flat in two years and was shocked when I discovered why and thought it was an ingenious idea to incorporate that reason into the story as it made the character more intriguing and very easy to engage with.
Over all, I loved "Perfect Match", I'm missing Solomon already and do hope he will reappear in another book, I can truly see this being a highly successful series should he return and I'd happily recommend this story to young and old readers alike. It's modern, fun and enjoyable to read whilst being scarily intense, intelligent and very well written and plotted. D.B. Thorne, in my opinion, is a fabulous story writer and a breath of fresh air in the crime genre pool and I will be without doubt seeking out future books by him.
I have never used dating apps and probably never will, but for those who do - be very, very careful who you meet..........
A fab 5 stars!
