5-star review: Kill Process

Damn it feels good to get caught up in a book like this.

Kill Process engages at just about every level. There’s a gripping premise (employee of a social networking site tracks down and kills abusive spouses), an ominous message (yes, someone could theoretically go commit these sorts of murders), and tons of realistic detail (and here’s how!).

There’s also a deeply sympathetic side to the psychology of the main character, a woman struggling against potentially crippling trauma (and I’m not talking about her missing arm). I read this book coming out of some pretty severe medical problems, and the stuff about PTSD rang very true. So did the hacking. So did the woman-in-the-IT-industry problems. I love books that inform me about the real world, and Kill Process does, seamlessly weaving real life into a thrilling story.

Also I’m just the teensiest bit worried about online security now?
