Hanging Hill by Mo Hayder
4.0
This book kept me (more or less) on edge the whole time I was reading it, all the way to the end. Past the end even, leaving you wondering if everything really will end well. Unfortunately, that's not the kind of ending I enjoy very much; I prefer to get a proper conclusion, especially when there's no kind of follow up to reveal what has happened, and the questions you're left with are as pressing as the ones here.
Regardless of that, the book was a fun read, with everything you expect from a good crime novel. The characters were well-rounded, even though each and every one of the main characters was somewhere between good-looking and drop dead gorgeous, and mostly had me feeling for them. The plot made sense, with no strange constructions that aren't at all feasible in real life, and was interesting from start to finish. As far as crime thrillers go, this is one of the best I've read.
