We found DM for Murder sharp, readable, and very much of its moment, a crime novel that understands how attention can be as dangerous as any weapon.
Our summary description
As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.
Bryce Horrigan has made a career out of provocation. As the host of a popular talk show, he thrives on outrage, baiting his guests and his vast online audience with equal enthusiasm. The abuse he attracts on social media is something he wears lightly, even proudly. Threats blur into background noise when millions are watching.
Then Bryce is shot dead, and the noise becomes a problem. With an endless stream of public enemies and an online following that veers easily into fury, the question is not who wanted him dead, but how to begin narrowing it down.
As the investigation unfolds, the spotlight turns to the uneasy overlap between performance and reality, and to the way anger multiplies when it is given a stage. DM for Murder explores the strange intimacy of digital hatred, the limits of anonymity, and the dangerous illusion that words can never carry real consequence.
