In my opinion, ‘Purity’ is one of the best novels that Hutson has written to date. It is fast, easy to read and some of the lines that the character Amy used made me laugh out loud.

Advantages: Humour is included, even with the dark subject matter Disadvantages: The grimness of the book may not appeal to all

The sick are being killed and a woman running a talk-radio show is talking to the killer, or claims she is. When an investigation discovers nothing, the police are suspicious, but the radio host is more worried. She is going to die, as that is what the killer has threatened.

Hutson has some real talent and he has put it into this book. I had absolutely no idea who the killer was and the ending was a real twist in the tail.
