Search - The Treatment

Sequel to Hayder's "The Birdman" once again featuring Jack Caffery, a complex and interesting character. Caffery is not a knight in shining armor, he has demons from his past that haunt him, especially in this case of child abuse and murder. The action in the book is intense, as is Jack's relationship with his girlfriend, Rebecca who is also dealing with her own past, as featured in "The Birdman". This is a book that will satisfy lovers of both procedural and psychological mysteries.

Chilling. By the middle of the book I was very anxious but I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. While this is a departure from my usual reading material, I definitely want to read more from this author. I've already ordered several more to keep me busy far into the night. Very well written and highly recommended.

these are creepy creepy mystery/thrillers and leave you always a little... NO A LOT... unsettled

This is an unbelievably creepy story about murdering pedophiles in London. If you have any aversion to this topic, I warn you DO NOT READ THIS BOOK! It is very graphic and disturbing.

The mystery of who commited these crimes and how they were done is really intense. It definitely grabs your attention and keeps you wondering but the creepiness factor had me putting this book down periodically to regroup. But I found myself wondering and would pick it up again.

Other than the subject matter, the only thing wrong with this book is that it is written by a British author who used British idioms which are totally undecipherable to us Yanks. Quite a few times I found myself guessing as to what they were talking about. For example: "Let's have a shufti at the park." What the hell does that mean? This is a murder mystery after all, so it isn't like the cops were going for a walk in the park. Rather irritating.

Couldn't get into it. It gets rave reviews though.
