review 1: Mo Hayder was recommended to me as "better than Val McDermind" and I have to say, she didn't quite live up to that. This was the first book of hers I'm still waiting to be impressed. It was an ok read (I'd give 2.5 stars if possible). The character of Flea Marley, the dive team sergeant was interesting, but Jack Caffrey was sort of boring. The narration plodded along sometimes and I struggled to get through this book. Since I also picked up the next book (Skin), I'm going to give the series and the author another go.
review 2: I rate Mo Hayder highly & like her Jack Caffery creation but he lost my sympathy by the end of Ritual. His character gained further flaws and the Ewan story stalled leaving little to empathise with. Ritual is a dark story but is both c... moreliched & unlikely in parts. New character Flea is another tormented soul & 2 needy lead characters is one too many for my liking. It has not put me off Mo Hayder & I will try #4 in due course, but I found Ritual much less satisfying than Birdman & The Treatment. less
