I downloaded this book as a Free Friday selection for my nook from Barnes and Noble. It took a bit to get into and it was a bit gory in parts, but all in all, it was a good read. I won't rush out to get the next book in the series, but at some point, I wouldn't mind reading more by this author.

I have read all of Mo Hayder's books and enjoyed them. This one is no exception and it's sad that it could be very well the last one as she has passed away.
Like all her books this outing is gritty and tense. The story follows Alex as she tries to uncover what did happen and why, along with Aaron a good friend who is also a police officer. The other part of the story follows Maryam, Aaron's mom. This part of the story does go into the back story of Maryam alot but does all come to make sense.
Regarding the Bonehead, there is a local legend and for me this was the best bit. I'm all for legends and folklore and couldn't make my mind up if this story was going down the route of the supernatural or not. Again all is revealed.
I really enjoyed this book. There was plenty to hold my interest and I wanted to know what was going to happen next. The story had a very tragic ending which I didn't see coming at all until the last few pages. It may not be for everyone but this is Mo Hayder for you.… (mais)
