Ritual by Mo Hayder

3.0

---

This has been my least favorite of the Jack Caffery series so far. First off, after leaving on a somewhat cliffhanger last book, we jump ahead four years. An odd choice to me. Then this novel was a little too coincidental. Too many things lined up too easily to be believed. I also thought Hayder's imagery in the final conflict was hard to follow/picture. The book still contained Caffery and his self-destructive self. I enjoyed the new character of Flea but her back story was a bit much. Overall, a decent crime book with too many puzzle pieces being corner pieces.
