Alice wants to make them suffer as their victims did. But the police are one step behind. And as the net closes, Alice’s life spirals out of control, the lines between good and evil becoming ever more blurred as she attempts to escape capture.

“She’s fighting back…”
Another gripping and extremely dark page turner from Nicholl that just chilled me to the bone. It is a brutal, gruesome and distressing read and not for the faint hearted.
Suffering years of child abuse at the hands of her father, a well regarded vicar no less, Alice lands a job with the police department where she goes on a vigilante mission to seek justice for children who have also suffered abuse at the hands of an evil predator.
I liked how this was executed, with Alice talking directly to the reader about her own experience and the subsequent murders she undertakes. The lines between good and evil become blurred, that will have you questioning, is the wrong thing done for the right reason, still the wrong thing?
The Victim is by no means an easy read, but is a very compelling one.
