Eve Baxter is a reporter on an online news channel that reports all things weird and wonderful. She lives in New York, and is happy with her life and the distance it puts between her and her family. After a call from home to say that her father has been attacked and is unconscious in hospital, Eve decides to go home. At the same time, news comes out of the UK about a strange phenomenon: purple people. It transpires that in a bid to take the strain off an inadequate prison system and a rise in antisocial behaviour and violence, perpetrators are turned purple. No one quite knows how this is achieved, so Eve decides that she is going to find out.
This was a very entertaining read: I loved the humour especially, and there’s a big moral question in this. Is this really any way to treat people, whether they’re criminals or not? And is it really ‘right’ to lump all criminals in the same purple category, no matter the type of antisocial behaviour? Personally, I’m just glad that it’s not something that we could get away with (at least I hope so!).
Many thanks to The Pigeonhole for serialising this book, and for Kate Bulpitt for commenting along with the other readers in the margins.
