Wow....! What a read. Mo Hayder; I just love her stuff. It's very hard-hitting and pretty gross in places, but you just can't put it down. The characters are so well portrayed and the plot so twisty, I was quite literally on the edge of my seat. Brilliant..in the lead now for best book this year. It'll be a hard one to beat.
Lending it out to my parents who are also avid Mo Hayder fans and then I will move it on.
Thank you so much platypussi for sending me this:)

Journal Entry 5 by StoryChaser from Waterlooville, Hampshire United Kingdom on Tuesday, September 26, 2006
Reserved for a bookray.Synopsis
This story is set in Greenwich, south-east London. The Met's crack murder squad, AMIP, is called out by nervous CID detectives to a grim discovery: five bodies, all young women, all ritualistically murdered and dumped on wasteland near the Dome. As each post-mortem reveals a singular, horrific signature linking the victims, officers realize that they are on the trail of that most dangerous offender: a sexual serial killer. Detective Inspector Jack Caffery - young, driven, unshockable - faces both hostility within the force and echoes of his past in this, his first case with AMIP. Haunted by the memory of a death long ago, he employs every weapon forensic science can offer - for he knows it is only a matter of time before this chaotic, sadistic killer strikes again. In this astonishing debut, Mo Hayder has written a novel of frightening and raw intensity which ranks alongside the very best in the genre.

Very good page-turning thriller.
Posted to Tanamo today.
Received from raeliz64 today. Got another ring book in front of this one but I'm going on holiday soon so may take them both with me and try to relax and get them read.
Been laid up with a heavy summer cold so finished my other ring book in double quick time and have nearly finished this one too. It's a great if somewhat gruesome read and the first I've read by Mo Hayder. I'll definitely look out for more by this author. As soon as I get an address for brunton11 it will be on its way.
Mailed to brunton11 today.
Arrived today - Looking forward to reading this one.
I enjoyed this book despite it being a little graphic at times. It was full of twists and turns and it really was a page turner.
Will pop it in the post to fifna tomorrow.

This novel is definitely full of action and suspense. The fact that the reader gets in the killer’s head and knows who it is before the protagonist, is interesting and unique. Hayder’s style is successful, however, I don’t think she is in the Deaver, George or Connelly league. I think the character development was a bit weak. Seeing as this was Hayder’s debut, I would be inclined to try another to see if she improves with experience.
Thank you Storychaser for including me in the ring.
Sending to perryfran in the morning.

Received today in the mail. Looking forward to reading this but I have a couple of books in front of it. Will read ASAP and pass on. Thanks for including me in this bookray!
Just finished this - what a story! When I first started reading, I found it a little hard going -- mainly because of the use of London vernacular -- but as I got into the story, I got used to the language and found myself anxious to get on with the story. A real thriller with one of the most dispicable, vile bad guys I have ever encountered! Often times, the details were very disturbing and gory, but I could not put the book down. I would highly recommend this to any reader of hard-core crime stories. I was also surprised that this was written by a woman. I have another book by Mo Hayder - "The Treatment" which I will be moving up in my TBR pile!
Thanks StoryChaser for including me in this bookray! I have totoroandmei's address and will get this in the mail tomorrow.
