“I used to think knowing people just by online handles was totally cool, but these internet murders might be changing my mind.”
After YouTuber GrazGrim is found dead in his locked bedroom-studio, the police are ready to write it off as a suicide.
The online fandom only have one chance for justice: John Hobson and Angelina Choi, internet detectives!
But can Angelina persuade Hobson to take the case on? And will anyone like what they find?
Blood Will Stream is the fourth book in this darkly comic London crime series. The detectives are back in whodunnit territory, revisiting their love-hate relationship with the internet.
Hobson & Choi has been #1 in Dark Comedy on Amazon, broken records on Jukepop Serials and now returns with an all-new mystery never seen anywhere else!
Nick Bryan is a London-based writer of genre fiction, usually with some blackly comic twist. As well as the ongoing self-published detective saga Hobson & Choi, he is also working on a novel about the real implications of deals with the devil and has stories in several anthologies.
This series is so good and I like it so much - as you can probably tell from the way that I've just glommed on them and read 3 of them in just over a week... Hobson and Choi make a great mismatched duo and I really like the ongoing importance of social media and social networks to the stories - it makes them feel really current and makes them stand out. It helps that they're written by someone who clearly knows their way around the networks that they're talking about too.
I can't believe I've run out of new Hobson and Choi to read now!
Reading book four of the Hobson & Choi series felt like meeting up with old friends at the local pub. It was lovely to fall back in with gruff Hobson, sometimes spastic Choi, and all the secondary characters that support them in their adventures and antics. While this case veers away from the more corporate conspiracy style of the previous books, and heads down a darker personal path, it still provides an interesting mystery and a good jaunt with lovable characters, and a surprisingly introspective look at the effects of one's personal demons. The conclusion left me excited for the fifth book, and I look forward to yet another entertaining installment from the author whenever it's released.
