Watching porn and pleasuring oneself doesn’t really hurt anyone and an addiction to it won’t kill you. That’s what Detective Robyn Tate thought too, in Malicious by James Raven, until she received an email from the “Slave Master” using her daughter’s hacked email account. Slaving the built-in camera on her laptop computer, the Slave Master was able to record the dirty little secrets of dozens of women who believed that they were alone. When Detective Tate began to investigate the murder of a woman in the park, she had no idea that she would be investigating a possible suspect for her own future murder. However, the similarities between her life and that of Charlotte Slater, the deceased, were a little bit too suspicious. Trying to keep things hidden from her partner and trying to keep the Slave Master from exposing her secret to the entire world, Robyn must not only solve Charlotte’s murder, but prevent her own sextortion. One of the common threads between her and Charlotte is their therapist. Could he be the Slave Master? It’s a race against time as Robyn walks on eggshells to preserve her dignity, her career, and possibly even her life.
If this thriller doesn’t give you the willies and make you want to never turn on your computer again, nothing will. James Raven has expertly woven a twisted tale that comes a little too close to reality. I was overjoyed that my laptop doesn’t have a webcam. Suspenseful, heart-pounding and all too real; Malicious will have you putting tape over your webcam or getting rid of it altogether.
