Fortune is a rich banker now living and working in Dubai. He has failed miserably at being a father and a family man. Having neglected Sophie, his daughter for most of her life, he now feels guilty at being powerless to help find her when she goes missing and is believed by the police to be dead. When money mysteriously disappears from the bank he works for he slowly starts to realise there is more than meets the eye over her disappearance and it doesn't take him long to discover that an internet troll that has been harassing Sophie may lie at the heart of everything.
"Troll" written by D B Thorne is a well written and professional thriller-style psychological mystery that is very intriguing and entertaining. I liked the uniqueness of using an internet troll as the plot line as it's such a common occurrence now in everyday life.
I very much liked the engaging and well developed characters - I particularly liked Sophie, so misunderstood and very much alone and felt much empathy for her as she described her slow downward spiral into depression and paranoia.
Fortune's promise to himself to find her and his dedication and persistence is commendable, considering the constant problems he keeps encountering. As he works his way through mysterious clues and the information he uncovers his journey to find out what has happened to Sophie leads us on an compelling search against time.
This is quite an addictive book, it did dip a tiny bit in the middle for me, but it soon picked up again to a fast paced finish that was truly shocking and emotional!
I would highly recommend this book - it's definitely worthy of a read - and I wouldn't hesitate to read more by this author again.
A well deserved 5 stars!
