The Dark Web Murders by Brian O'Hare is the chilling tale of a psychological killer. He is killing people in the name of justice. He is very bold in what he does and enjoys posting it on the Dark Web, a place where you can procure any bad thing or service. He likes to brag about his killings, tries to justify them, and relishes the feedback that he receives from the people reading his blog. He calls himself Niemen.

Inspector Sheehan and his team are on the case. They work hard and run down every lead, only to be brought back to round one again and again. They work well together and the inspector is willing to ask their opinions, even though he is the one in charge. They meet every day to discuss their findings and to air each of the team's thoughts. There are a number of suspects and Niemen is careful about leaving any evidence. He feels that he is much smarter than the inspector and his team. Will Sheehan and his team find the killer? Will he slip up and leave them a sign that will connect him to the murders? In the end, will true justice reign?

I enjoyed the book. I thought it had a good plot. It kept you guessing. I missed an important clue at the beginning of the book, so I was torn between two people being Niemen. I liked the suspense and in the end I guessed wrong.

There wasn't anything that I did not really like about the book. I did think that at times it was hard to grasp the true meaning of what was being said, especially in some of Niemen's blogs. It does tell you that the book is written from a British perspective, so being familiar with some of those phrases, would have helped. I knew that and still chose to read the book.


I don't think the book would be suitable for teenagers. It has some profanity, violence, and has graphic details. It really describes the Dark Web. It is very scary to think that a place exists that you can buy or do anything and it is hard for someone to trace it back to you. It opens your eyes to what a sheltered life a person can lead. I rate the book a 4 out of 4 stars. I thought it was professionally edited.
