Book Description:

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…

My Review:

Perfect Match is what I like to call a mystery/ crime book with heart.  When I say this I mean that there is a human element to the story and that it’s not just about the solving of the crime.

The setting of the book involving on line dating is quite a scary one as it seems very realistic, especially with all the modern technical language that the author includes in his writing.  This is something that could actually happen, has actually happened and that did send a chill down my spine whilst I was reading it.  I felt more involved in the story and the characters because of this as I genuinely wanted to find out how this ended.

I loved Solomon, I thought he was such a great character.  I felt very sorry for him and the situation he finds himself in, again unfortunately a very modern occurrence, and I though it very heart warming to see how he throws himself into trying to find out who was responsible for what happened to his sister despite the obvious discomfort it causes him.  His care and affection for his sister was lovely to read about and I found myself hoping he’d be successful without coming to any harm himself.

The book highlight some quite thought provoking issues regarding the circumstances that affect a police investigation.  Id love to say that a person’s job or position in life doesn’t affect how the police conduct an investigation but unfortunately I think it is very true. I shudder to think how many cases could have been handled differently and have different outcomes because of this.

The novel moves at quite a fast pace and there is always something new happening or being discovered.  I found myself racing through the pages as I wanted to discover what would happen next.

This is DB Thorne” second book but the first I have read and I look forward to reading more from him in the future. If you like modern mysteries with a human back story then yiummy love Perfect Match.
