Background Research for my Latest Novel

"Social Murderer"

My latest book, ‘Social Murderer’, brings together three themes.

1. I realised how much the characters in a book intrude into my mind while I’m writing a book. The clash between fictional characters and events in the author’s real life is a theme that has been applied many times. The book that comes first to my mind on this topic is ‘The Dark Half’ by Stephen King – which is mentioned by one of the characters in ‘Social Murderer’. Other books have also explored the theme, a recent bestselling example being ‘The Woman Who Lied’ by Claire Douglas.

2. In ‘Social Murderer’, the killer selects his victims from the internet, and social media in particular. Again, not a unique theme – I’m not sure there are never any new ideas in fiction, just different ways of telling a story. I recently read a novel titled ‘I See You’ by Clare Mackintosh which had an interesting spin on this idea.

3. The third component of the book is puzzles, a topic that has interested me all my life. Some of the subject matter in ‘Social Murderer’ is based on my own experience, although I never achieved some of the more exotic uses for puzzle-setting that occur in the book.

Research

The book is centred in the town of Mansfield, which I chose for two main reasons.

1. The book is quite dark in its theme, and if Mansfield brings any image to the reader’s mind, it’s probably a dark one.

2. The other reason is that my path through life has twice intersected with the town. I spent my early years of my life in Mansfield and my first memories are all located there – in a street whose name you’ll be able to guess if you read the book. I also worked closely for several years with a company that was based there.

For this book, I visited two locations: a certain stretch of the Kent coast (where my journey exactly matched that of the killer) and Pimlico which, regretfully, did not commend itself to me.

If you read my books, I would be interested in your comments. Feel free to get in touch – you can reach me via various social media.

Novel Nuggets - November 2022 Releases Part 2

Novel Nuggets – November 2022 Releases Part 2

Well, folks. I did it. By the end of this post, I will be caught up on reviewing the almost eighty books I’ve read since March of this year. I didn’t think it would be possible because whenever I tried to do it at other times this year, something always came up that prevented me from being able to write. Whew. It’s a good feeling. The Choice concludes Nora Roberts’ Dragon Heart Legacy trilogy,…

Ffion Morgan is either related to, or at the very least familiar with, most of those in the small village on the Welsh side of Mirror…
