She wrote the two scariest novels I've ever read so far...The Treatment & Pig Island.

Andrew65 Be interested to see what you make of the next books in the series as they take a slightly different turn and even take place in another part of the country. 3y

Sha0102 Andrew65, I read the next one Ritual and didn't like as much as The treatment. Things changed too quickly, in my opinion, from the last book but I wanna read the next one just to be sure about keep reading these books or not. What about you? Did you enjoy the next books? 3y

This is a great series so far, but definitely not for the faint hearted 🤢 grim scenes!
Although set in London, the film was set in Amsterdam and the MC had a different name 🤷‍♀️

squirrelbrain Don‘t think I‘d like that one! 4y

TrishB @squirrelbrain it‘s a grim storyline! 4y

Andrew65 This book (not the film!) is centred around the area i was brought up in London, that made it seem very real and even more frightening. Spent many hundreds of hours in Brockwell Park. 3y

TrishB @Andrew65 that would add some creepiness! 3y

#Seven is deeply disturbing, at least I thought so, and supposedly, this book is too.

Andrew65 A good series but definitely gritty! 4y

Klou Yes! My mum and nan have read this series and both said it was quite disturbing. Really good series, but definitely disturbing. Great choice! 4y

Although I read the whole book I would not recommend this. It covers a very sensitive issue and may trigger some. The writer must have had a strong stomach to have written such a piece. It is dreadful and is not like any other book I've read, thankfully.

Finished my third book during #24B4Monday #Readathon.
This was a difficult read, partially due to the heavy and disturbing theme, but made even more so as the story took place in the area I lived in for the first 20 years of my life. In fact spent many hours in the park mentioned throughout the book & where a body was discovered. In some sense it made it more real! Hopefully events in the book will lead to them being less depressive in the future.

tammysue Great review! I can‘t imagine and I can see where this would be a tough one to get through. 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 did you read the last part of Silver Wedding yet? 5y

Tove_Reads Altbough we knew going in that her books are heavy, they still creep you out. In your case even more. 5y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads It did bring back many memories of my childhood and being in and around that park. We lived just up the road from Brixton prison that the helicopter flew over when searching the park. This one definitely creeped me out and had to stop reading for a while yesterday. Very creepy and depressive book, but didn‘t also get your Adrenalin and heart rate firing in places. @EadieB 5y

Andrew65 @whatshesreadingnow Thanks, in many ways an excellent read but the theme was hard to take. 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB That‘s next up once we have tea. (edited) 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 I‘m finished with The Long Call now I‘m going to finish Silver Wedding. @Tove_Reads (edited) 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB @Tove_Reads Apart from finishing off Heresy I‘m finally caught up on the buddy reads. Just as well, as I‘m back at school on Monday. (edited) 5y

BeansPage Ooooo 😗 sounds right up my alley 😁 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 Just in time before returning to work! @Tove_Reads 5y

EadieB @TheReadingMermaid Yes very good books! 5y

Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid They are good reads, but usually heavy themes and very gritty in places. 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB Yes, hopefully the holiday has bottomed things out and can keep on top of things. Taken me all holiday to kick this bug! (edited) 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 I‘m still coughing but I think mine is allergies from everything blooming. 5y

BeansPage @EadieB @Andrew65 love it! Stacked! 5y

EadieB @TheReadingMermaid 👍 5y

BeansPage @Andrew65 @EadieB I had no idea you guys were sick too! Man this bug seems to really be going around worldwide. I hope everybody starts feeling better soon. I hate being sick 😷😫 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB Yes I‘ve still got my cough too. 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 Hard to get rid of this time of year! 5y

Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid I was just thinking I‘d escaped this year when it got me. Not been as ill as this bug had me since 2000 and taken a long time to clear! @EadieB 5y

Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid Although overwork also partly to blame. March was a nightmare month. @EadieB 5y

BeansPage I was thinking that I escaped it to until my husband got sick. It was all downhill from there 😞 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 But if you remember you were working crazy hours and interviewing and wearing yourself out also with the end of term work. Too much stress is hard on your health! 5y

BeansPage Agreed ⬆️⬆️⬆️ 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB @TheReadingMermaid Oh so true! 🤔 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 What happened to you in 2000? 5y

EadieB @TheReadingMermaid Once the bug gets in your house, there is no escaping it. I always catch whatever my grandchildren have. 5y

andrew61 I will probably read the latest in the series soon, its a curious series that i felt goes up and down but the characters and underlying story about caffrey and his brother have dragged me along. Nit seen anything new by mo hayder for a while. 5y

Andrew65 @andrew61 No the last new book was Wolf in 2014. Quite a gap! 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB Got the worst flu virus I‘ve ever know. Spent best part of 2 weeks in bed, only time spent more than a day or two (once every few years) off school. Not helped by another stressful situation, a month before my sister in law had died of meningitis. 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 Sorry to hear about sister-in-law. That certainly is devastating. That shows that stress definitely plays a part and first sign of illness you need to back off and go at a slower pace until you feel better. 5y

andrew61 @Andrew65 i might read it soon. Hopefully she will publish something soon - enjoy the read. 5y

EadieB @andrew61 @andrew65 She has a book in progress called Bonehead according to Wiki. 5y

andrew61 @EadieB @Andrew65 Thanks eadie - i will look out for it, she definitely goes to some creepy places. 5y

EadieB @andrew61 She is what I would call a sick chick! 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 Isn‘t there an ebook you can download of The Last Girl? @Tove_Reads (edited) 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB No but I have asked 2 libraries to buy it! 😂 Hopefully one of them will come through in time! One of these libraries had book 1 and 3 as ebooks do it makes sense to buy book 3! @Tove_Reads 5y

Tove_Reads @Andrew65 @EadieB Same here! Hope they‘ll get it soon (I know they will eventually, but I want it now!) 5y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads My libraries don‘t always buy on the recommendations, hence asking two! Still got some recommendation requests they haven‘t bought 2 - 3 years on. Seems to be no method about which books they buy and those they just ignore. Even more frustrating when thy buy whole series of unknown authors. @EadieB 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 Ok! Well we do have enough to read until they do get that book. @Tove_Reads 5y

This is 2nd in Jack Cafferty series and is darker and more disturbing than the 1st. Even with the gritty and gruesomeness I will continue this series because Hayder‘s writing is excellent. Pedophile and child abuse are hard to read about and the book is definitely not for the feign of heart. Jack learns more about his brother‘s death and who killed Rory Peach. Recommended for those who love thrilling serial killer books.

EadieB @Andrew65 Hire someone you can delegate too and who will be capable of helping you with your busy days. 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB That‘s definitely very high on my agenda. Been a difficult year and a half! Would have sent many schools into meltdown but have maintained strong overall performance but capable of better. (edited) 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 Great news! Hope you find someone soon! 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB 🤞Looks a strong field. 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 Can you give them a probation period and if they don‘t work out be able to hire someone else? 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB No that isn‘t allowed. 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 Did you start any interviews? 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB They‘re next week, once we get references. Wednesday 27th, will be a very busy day interviews will run from 8.45 - 6.00 with the different components to the day - lesson observation, data tasks, tour, presentation, interview. 5y

I am a massive fan of Mo Hayder's writing. This book is excellent and full of her dark and twisty storytelling. But, I have to say I was not at all prepared for one aspect of this story...involving Jack's brother. It has disturbed me so much I might have to take a couple of days away from the book.

🐀🐀🐀This book was pretty thrilling. I'll give it that. However, the killer's motivation seemed pretty tenuous to me. The subject matter was quite gruesome and I feel as though the motivation didn't match the crime. I was left scratching my head after finishing this one.

Wow. I love Mo Hayder's detective jack caffery, and feel somewhat protective of him. He gets himself in a huge mess with a case that reminds him so much of a terrible episode from his own childhood, that I was afraid he would lose himself. Always a good read--but be warned that all of Mo Hayder's crime books are not for the faint of heart.

Jack Caffery #2.Well-written crime fiction that borders on horror. I don't think I'm easily disgusted or disturbed by certain subjects, but the acts in this book and the first made my skin crawl. Very graphic. I'm still up in the air if I want to continue with the series, but it's still a pick. 5🌟

BeckyLeJ Definitely continue the series, it's one of my absolute favorites! I agree THE TREATMENT is highly disturbing, but it's (in my opinion) the most disturbing out of all of her books. If you can make it through this one, the rest are easy by comparison. 8y

Bookzombie @BeckyLeJ Thanks for letting me know! I will pick up the next one sometime soon then. 😀 8y

Leslie I had a tough time with this subject matter too, but somehow I became more dedicated to Jack. I am taking a little break w Neal Stephenson, but I will be back! 8y

Bookzombie @Leslie I've taken a break too, but I will pick the series up again. 🙂 8y
