I can't see how this is a thriller or supposed to be scary, Jo Nesbo now that's a great author to scare the living daylights out of you. I don't understand why it's part of the DI J.C series either. I'm losing hope of reading a good book from Hayder now everything after the treatment has been pants. Don't think I'll read the next one.

Oh my god this book is fab, even if you start with this book you will love this book. There are more twists and turns in the book you can't put it down. I was second guessing the book but absolutely loved it. Can't wait for next.

I have read all of the Jack Caffery series and simply could not put this one down. I love the way the characters seem to have a continued presence outside the books, which is very cleverly entwined with each story. Mo - You are a gifted storyteller.
About the author
Mo Hayder’s first novel, Birdman, was hailed as ‘a first-class shocker’ by the Guardian, and her follow-up, The Treatment, was voted by The Times as ‘one of the top ten most scary thrillers ever written’. With the last Jack Caffery thriller, Gone, she won the prestigious Edgars Best Book award. Poppet is the sixth novel to feature DI Jack Caffery, and the fourth in the Walking Man series.
