Holy mackerel, Mo Hayder is right up there with Dennis Lehane. Compulsively readable, hard to take in some spots, with inspiring prose. Can't wait for the next one!

I liked the writing, but male murder mystery writers, in my limited experience, seem to focus on sexuality of the criminal and the investigator quite a bit. This criminal was so weird and we knew who he was by design halfway through, so I felt no real desire to recheck it out from the library when it expired. I didn't finish, but don't feel I missed anything.

I may come back but at the moment wasn't feeling it

Fairly generic crime thriller, not one of Hayder's best, but not the worst either.

YUCK. Not worth finishing, but I did it. I listened to this on audiobook and despite the narrator's valiant work, I can't believe I got through it to the end. Too many revolting serial killer scenes - not my thing. For me it was barely worth the tickmark on my Reading Challenge list (and by mid-book when shit got really gross, that was my only motivation, otherwise this would have been DNF). Even the good-guy characters weren't interesting.
