Hollow Man- Blog Tour
After being summoned to a crime scene late one Friday afternoon, Detective Mark Turpin arrives to find the body of a man, his face obscured by a plastic sheet wrapped around his head.
When the victim's final moments are traced to a rented property in the Oxfordshire countryside, Mark discovers another body, one that has been brutally cut to pieces and left to rot.
As the manhunt for the murderer intensifies, Mark uncovers several unresolved cold cases with similarities to his own and exposes a killer who has managed to escape both national and international scrutiny.
Then one of his colleagues disappears without a trace, and Mark is faced with an impossible situation that could plunge his entire future into jeopardy...
My Thoughts
This book is part of a series, but it was my first read — and I didn’t feel too lost. It stood well on its own, and the pacing made it an intense, definite page-turner.
We meet a team of officers working to find a killer, each bringing a different perspective to the investigation. I really liked how the author gave each character a distinct personality and allowed us to see more of who they are. They felt well-rounded, and I imagine that across the series some characters will grow on readers more than others. The author also didn’t shy away from showing us how each team member thinks and acts, which made their group dynamic feel authentic. I also appreciated that we got glimpses into their lives outside of work — their families, friendships, and personal struggles — which made them feel more real and relatable.
What I especially enjoyed was how the case initially seemed straightforward and easily solved, but as more information surfaced, it turned increasingly sinister. I expected the book to be more graphic or squeamish, but the author managed to deliver the horror and thriller elements without going overboard on the gore.
Overall, I really enjoyed this one — enough that I’d love to go back and start from Book 1!
Thank you so much for being a part of the adventure 💚
