Birdman
A Mystery Thriller, Thriller, Crime book. A pretty good yarn with some twists, but I thought...
Greenwich, south-east London. The Met's crack murder squad, AMIP, is called out by nervous CID detectives to a grim discovery. Five bodies, all young women, all ritualistically murdered and dumped on wasteland near the Dome. As each post-mortem reveals a singular, horrific signature linking the victims, officers realize that they are on the trail of that most dangerous offender: a sexual serial killer. Detective Inspector Jack Caffery - young, driven, unshockable - finds himself facing both hostility within the force and echoes of his past in this, his first case with AMIP. Haunted by the memory of a death long ago, he employs every weapon forensic science can offer for he knows it is only a matter of time before this chaotic, sadistic killer strikes again.

More About Birdman
4.5 stars. I read 'Gone' by Mo Hayder and was planning to read 'Poppet' next but my husband pointed out that instead of starting a series in the middle (I do that a lot), I should start at the beginning so I picked up the ebook of 'Birdman' from the Jack Caffery series. Wow! What a start to a series! This is a British crime thriller... Mo Hayder is one of those authors I always meant to pick up and read but always managed to find something else to pick up. In the end, I decided to give her a go despite my initial hesitation. Of course, this brought about a new kind of problem: which book did I start with. I battled between a standalone or starting the Jack Caffery... A pretty good yarn with some twists, but I thought the author wallowed in the gore excessively and lost sight of developing the characters. The characters are thin stereotypes and even the main character's development is choppy and not well rooted. That the author relies on detailed description of the gross and gory is, I think intended...
