Title: lazy, long boring book about sadistic rituals
Review: Mo Hayder was probably out of good ideas, so he did like about 12 other authors I read this year: invent a sadistic pedophile, and write long and boring insights into the tortured psyche of the detective pursuing him. No originality, way too long, and most of the book is not about the case the hero is working on, but about his and his girlfriends tortured pasts and their difficult relationship. When I want to read about psychiatric cases, I'll buy a book written by an expert, not by a stumbling amateur who pretends to be one. The only bit of suspense is waiting for the hereo to stop being so clueless and do his job properly.
