About the Book

We all recognise them. Those who sit just on the fringes of society. Who send prickles up the back of our necks. The charmers. The liars. The manipulators. Those who have the potential to go that one step too far. And then take another step. Jessamine Gooch makes a living from these people. Each week she broadcasts a radio show looking into the past lives of convicted killers; asking if there was more that could have been done to prevent their terrible crimes. Then one day she is approached by a woman desperate to find her missing friend, Cassie, fearing her abusive husband may have taken that final deadly step. But as Jessamine delves into the months prior to Cassie's disappearance she fails to realise there is a dark figure closer to home, one that threatens the safety of her own family... Set over a long, dark winter in London and perfect for fans of Apple Tree Yard and He Said/She Said, The Dangerous Kind is at once a gripping psychological thriller and a stunning portrayal of the monsters that live among us.

Review :
Searingly relevant, at times uncomfortably truthful, a page turner and an empathetic look at fractured modern lives. But more than all that, the writing, the writing, the writing . . . I loved every word The Dangerous Kind is an absolute triumph. Dark, uncompromising but full of heart. It gave me goosebumps and I raced through it in a matter of days. Highly recommended Great concept, silky prose & originality oozing off every page Clever, unpredictable and beautifully done Absolutely brilliant . . . a really sophisticated, smart, engaging thriller. One of my favourite reads this year Dark, disturbing, devilishly plotted. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough The Dangerous Kind is a terrifyingly plausible novel about predators hiding in plain sight, the banality of evil and the lies we tell to comfort ourselves. Urgent, relevant and completely unputdownable. Definitely one of the thrillers of the year Amazing, it's absolutely brilliantly written and you must read it ... a gripping thriller and O'Connor's novel is both bold and brave. The Dangerous Kind is a dark and unpredictable page-tuner with characters I really engaged with. Deborah O'Conner deals with unsettling topics with compassion and intelligence. It's a book I found hard to put down. Brilliantly compelling . . . original, timely and very very hard to put down A powerful, timely and unnerving thriller about the predators in our midst. Loved it! A dark subject but so relevant. It's tense right from the first pitch black scene to the last page. Very cleverly employs our obsession with true crime Complex and exciting ... if you love Apple Tree Yard, you'll love this! A highly topical, psychological crime thriller . . . intensely layered the relentless pace keeps you turning the page Poignant novel tackles the subject of exploitation with great sensitivity Complex and exciting, this is a stunning portrayal of the monsters that live among us . . . If you love Apple Tree Yard, you'll love this A deeply poignant read that bravely tackles the subject of exploitation and victim-shaming with great sensitivity. Gritty, gripping, and timely thriller Sophisticated thriller which packs a powerful punch ... a bold, brave and timely tale crackling with psychological tension, brimming with emotional intensity, and with more twists and turns than a Hollywood disaster movie Bold and timely Well-paced plot Highly topical ... intensely layered ... relentless pace ... thought-provoking and haunting ... the journey twists and turns throughout, delving ever deeper, and leading up to an ending you won't see coming until the very last. A highly topical, psychological thriller that flicks between past and present, through four central character perspectives [one of] the best page turners around
