About Bad Review

Bad Review by John Douglas Pritchard is a psychological crime thriller and the first novel in the Detective Hale series. What begins with an online review escalates into obsession, paranoia, murder, and a disturbing investigation into the darker consequences of the digital world.

Detective Hale follows a trail of digital clues as people begin to disappear, uncovering a case shaped by perception, morality, and the unsettling question of how far someone might go when online words are taken personally. Blending psychological suspense, crime fiction, and slow-burn tension, Bad Review explores the human mind and the increasingly blurred line between online interactions and real-world consequences.
