#MoHayderBuddyRead #JackCafferyBuddyRead
EadieB @Andrew65 @Tove_reads I started this yesterday. 6y
Andrew65 @EadieB What a change in his life in this one, compared to the last book. 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 Yes, now that he‘s in Bristol working with Flea. Hayder seems to have new characters in each book. @Tove_Reads 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB Shame we have lost some of the other characters. @Tove_Reads 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 I agree! I think I like book 1 and 2 better. This one is somewhat different because it has more subplots. @Tove_Reads 6y
julesG Please don't forget to alert me around book 5,so I can join you. Pretty please. 😊 6y
julesG PS: It took me a moment to realize that this book was more about Flea than Jack. Somehow. 6y
Andrew65 @julesG We will. 👍😊 6y
Andrew65 @EadieB So far this one is less gritty. It feels strange compared to the others. @julesG Most definitely so far feels more about Flea. @Tove_Reads 6y
Tove_Reads I thought it wasn‘t as good as the others because I read it in Swedish. Somehow crime translated in to the Swedish can be blah. But, yeah, feels like another author took over. @EadieB 6y
EadieB @Tove_Reads Hopefully the next one will be better. @Andrew65 6y
Andrew65 Where are either of you up to. I‘m up to chapter 23. @EadieB @Tove_Reads (edited) 6y
Tove_Reads Chapter 21. Will have to do some work now, so won‘t read until tomorrow morning. 6y
Andrew65 @EadieB I‘m still hoping his one will get better. 6y
Andrew65 Just checked this one has the lowest rating in the series. @Tove_Reads @EadieB 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 Well at least they do get better than this one! @Tove_Reads 6y
Andrew65 @EadieB Now over halfway, Chapter 31. Not much in this book about a murder (or not) investigation. 🤔 @Tove_Reads 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 I like it better when the author does 1 major plot or investigation instead of all these subplots. This book is boring in parts! @Tove_Reads 6y
Andrew65 @EadieB Certainly Agree, tough to read continuously! 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 I did audio plus book. Easier to get thru boring parts. @Tove_Reads 6y
Andrew65 @EadieB Audio is always better for that! With a book like this you keep thinking do I rest from it and start a new book, or try to plough on so I get finished quicker. (edited) 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 I would just plow thru and be done with it. Otherwise it will keep haunting you. @Tove_Reads 6y
Andrew65 @EadieB 😂 So true! It‘s not a series I‘ve fallen in love with! @Tove_Reads (edited) 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 It is pretty gritty with some nasty themes and characters! @Tove_Reads 6y
Andrew65 @EadieB I just find them to have not much of a flow, wanting me to keep reading on. I felt this with the last one too, and a bit fed up with all the Ewan story. It seems to dominate the books more than the murders / abductions etc. @Tove_Reads 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 I like the Jane Casey and Adrian McKinty books better. Maybe we should put this series on hold after this one. @Tove_Reads 6y
Andrew65 @EadieB The Adrian McKinty and Jane Casey books are definitely more enjoyable reads. @Tove_Reads 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 We can either try one more as a group or read them on our own. @Tove_Reads 6y
Andrew65 @EadieB We‘ll see what @Tove_Reads thinks. There are 4 more in the series, and she hasn‘t written anything since 2014. 6y
Andrew65 Book 5 was an Edgar Award Winner.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
Gone: Jack Caffery 6y
Gone: Jack CafferyEadieB @Andrew65 Just read the description for the next book entitled Skin and it says: Devious and disturbing, it introduces one of Hayder's most horrifying villains yet. Sounds gritty and nasty to me. But, we can see what Tove_Reads thinks.Skin (edited) 6y
SkinEadieB @Andrew65 Book 5 doesn‘t sound too bad. @Tove_Reads 6y
Andrew65 @EadieB Book 4 sounds 😢😱😂 (edited) 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 I agree! @Tove_Reads 6y
Tove_Reads @Andrew65 @EadieB Just Finished. It was a bit weird. Should we read the next one and make a decision after that one? It‘s quite common that one book in the series doesn‘t live up to the others. Remember Heartstone? 6y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads That was quick!!! Last night you were only on Chapter 21. I‘m on Chapter 38 (65%) and aiming to finish this afternoon. I imagine I‘ll finish the series, either individually or with both of you, even if don‘t improve. Hate to give up on a series in the middle. @EadieB (edited) 6y
Tove_Reads @andrew65 I will finish the series as well. I doubt we will run out of series, since we haven‘t even started three we have recently discussed. 6y
Tove_Reads @Andrew65 ... and we have the second option we voted for, but chose the three we are reading now. 6y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads And that‘s just the tip of the iceberg! 😱 @EadieB Now on Chapter 50 (last 100 Pages). 6y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Remind me of the second option? 6y
Tove_Reads Hmm... don‘t remember all of them. I think David Hewson was one of them. Need to check the lists each of us made. 6y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Yes not read any David Henson yet. 6y
EadieB @Andrew65 I don‘t mind finishing Mo Hayder books since I own a few more. @Tove_Reads 6y
Andrew65 @EadieB We‘re almost half way through. This book like her others tedious in first half but gets better towards the end. Needs to write shorter books I think. @Tove_Reads (edited) 6y
