ebokhyllami's review against another edition

En av de bedre krim/thriller seriene jeg har lest. Noen av dem litt groteske, men absolutt på rette siden av gross. Sisteboka er spesiell. Kanskje litt kjapp avslutning? Likevel - solid og anbefales!

Love love love Mo Hayder even though she is a bit on the gruesome side. It's literary gruesome -- honestly!

wow wow wow. Mo is back! I loved this book, couldn't put it down once I was past 50%. The ending was rather surprising in good old Mo Hayder style. I was a little disappointed with the ending regarding Caffery's brother, I felt that was a bit quick and easy to get rid of a character, but I loved the book so much that I can't take a star off for that. I want more now!

I'm unsure if Hayder meant this to be the final book in the Caffery series or not - I recently found out she unfortunately passed away a few years ago. There's a lot that isn't tied up in this book, and a Fight Club-esque ending scene that I'm not sure is meant to be literal or figurative.
As much shit as I've given Hayder over aspects of her books (and I stand by the shit given) she really was a decent writer and did some unique things within the genre. It's a shame she won't be around to write more.
Apparently this book is being made into a limited series, and the casting looks pretty good, too. Given the framework of the novel it would work well as a series that kind of brings in all of Caffery's background established through the other books. I kind of hope they change the ending, though.

It was full of tensions as usual with Mo Hayder's thrillers, I had to put it down a few times because I couldn't bear the stakes. It's not gruesome, just so tense.
I didn't know it would be the last Jack Caffery book, but the resolution of his personal story was well done, and as usual for Hayder horrifying in its simplicity and doom.
