hat Birdman von Mo Hayder besprochen (Jack Caffery, #1)

Enjoyable police procedural

First in a series, where Jack Caffery is the new detective in the unit and gets a case where 4 bodies of prostitutes are found buried in a shallow grave. Suspicion falls on a few different folks. The author includes a few chapters from the perspective of the criminal in a fairly transparent try at misleading the reader. Once you get to the twist, you'll see it too. Enjoyable for me because the detective work is less movie plot magic wandism and more basic forensics. However, there's a fair amount of sensationalism. And as for the crime itself, many aspects of it seem unlikely and overly intricate to further the sensationalism and plot twists.
