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 s...

review 1: Loved it! Although the plot with Jack and Flea didn't advance in any meaningful way, this was a good read. It isn't my favourite, and lacked some of the atmosphere that kept me awake while I was reading Poppet, but it was still great. I know that there are other books outside o...
