Don T Look Now By Max Manning
“Don’t Look Now” by Max Manning is a story about London being haunted by posts of murders on social media, showcasing victims before and after their death. Soon, Detective Fenton finds himself searching for a serial killer who wants and craves attention. The more he kills, the more he posts. The more attention he gets the more he kills. A little more than a month later after Detective Fenton takes over the murder case, the killer is arrested. Thanks to the help of Adam Blake, London is finally able to rest and enjoy some peace.
This story takes place during both day and night in London. Some other locations are the police station, the crime scenes, and East London Park. However, we do see several characters' apartments and houses, such as Detective Fentons, Blakes, Detective Inces, and Leah Bishops.
