One of the most frightening books I've ever read... Hayder's gory
insights into the dark side are compelling
*GUARDIAN*
Chilling... the book is surprisingly hard to put down. The plot
develops with satisfying unpredictability; the characters are
compellingly drawn... its final twist a bravura savagery
*DAILY TELEGRAPH*
Bleak, powerful... The Treatment is cleverly plotted and Caffery is
a believable creation
*OBSERVER*
Mo Hayder's debut, Birdman, was deservedly an unqualified
success... and Hayder has lost none of her descriptive expertise
along the way
*TIME OUT*
There is no better example of a contemporary masterpiece than Mo
Hayder's The Treatment. Whether she's exploring social issues such
as homelessness and child abuse or just scaring the bejeezus out of
you, Hayder spins a tale that feels like a razor slicing apart your
soul. The plotting is extremely disciplined, the sort of structure
to which all authors should aspire, and the story is a searing dark
tale that makes you bolt up in bed during the middle of the night,
wondering if that sound you heard was the cat, or Death dragging
its sickle across the floor
*SUNDAY TELEGRAPH*
