Well this wasn't what I was expecting...They say not to judge a book by its cover and that couldn't be more applicable here. What looks to be a spooky horror is anything but - rather what we have is a dark crime fiction about a serial killer who preys on the weak, and a late night talk-back radio host who is firmly in the cross-hairs.

Whilst the story is entertaining, I can't help but feel cheated a little. Sure I could've researched the novel a little more but Hutson is known for paperback horror and that cover really leads the reader down a path of lies... Despite this, I actually enjoyed the book. The characters are engaging and the whodunit mystery is well written with the killer identity not who I was expecting.

Overall, Purity is a solid, dark crime fiction with echoes of noir. I give this a solid 3 (out of 5) stars.
