The Nothing Man by Catherine Ryan Howard

 I was the girl who survived the Nothing Man. 

Now I am the woman who is going to catch him...


You've just read the opening pages of The Nothing Man, the true crime memoir Eve Black has written about her obsessive search for the man who killed her family nearly two decades ago.


Supermarket security guard Jim Doyle is reading it too, and with each turn of the page his rage grows. Because Jim was - is - the Nothing Man.


The more Jim reads, the more he realises how dangerously close Eve is getting to the truth. He knows she won't give up until she finds him. He has no choice but to stop her first…


Okay, wow. This book was amazing. Aging read one of Catherine’s book earlier this year (56 Days) and enjoying it, I went into this one with high hopes, and boy were my hopes right! I’ve been scared by 1 book before while reading (The Girl in the Walls by A.J. Gnuse), but this one terrified me! I was lying in bed, 12am, pitch back, reading about this bloody scary guy creeping into peoples houses and bedrooms in the dead of night. Not a good idea! 


I finished late last night, I stayed awake until 12.45am to finish the last 40% as i just needed to get it finished and find out what was going to happen!


Jim AKA the Nothing Man, was so scary. His thoughts behind things, planning, the crimes he committed. This is some seriously scary guy. I loved Eve, and I felt so bad for her reading back on what happened to her family. The bathroom scene was so intense! 


Fantastic writing Ms Howard, you blew me away!
