Dark Mode by Ashley Kalagian Blunt (2023) is a psychological crime thriller set in Sydney, Australia, in 2017.
Reagan Carsen keeps a low profile in life. Even when she finds the dead body of a young woman, she does not contact the police, especially because the dead woman looks eerily like her.
Two more women are murdered, fuelling Reagan’s paranoia. Someone is after her. The police think she is a suspect; she thinks someone is framing her. She can’t trust anyone.
When a deepfake video has images of her apartment, she freaks out. After she receives strange emails, the video, and has her bank accounts frozen, she knows she is next.
This dark web thriller is an interesting, suspenseful page-turner – a fusion of fact and fiction – that will evoke a fear of having too much personal information on the web – or any information. Too many are watching; too many people have access to your information – to you. It evokes paranoid tendencies in emails, in the web, in communications that can occur to anyone, anywhere, every day.
