A review by april_golden
Birdman by Mo Hayder
3.0
This is the first Mo Hayder book I've read. I decided to try her because I've seen a lot of great reviews of her newest Jack Caffery novel, Gone. So, I decided to start with this one, which is the first in her series starring English policeman Jack Caffery. After several women are found mutilated and buried at a construction zone, he is brought in to investigate.
Overall, I really enjoyed the book. It was a bit slow to start for me. Having not been familiar with Hayder, I wasn't sure how the book was going to progress. I didn't connect with her protaganist from the start, but by the end, I felt he was fleshed out more and I was interested in his story. I am delighted that I ended up liking the last half better than the first. Often, I don't particularly care for my favorite author's first books, so the fact that I liked this one when I finished it is reason enough for me to read the next in the series and see if I like it too.
