Why read it?
2 authors picked Birdman as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This one is in my top ten books because of its “wow” factor, and its influence on me as a writer. It’s the first in the late, great Mo Hayder’s series featuring D.I. Jack Caffrey. He’s a character who is haunted by grief and guilt but driven to find out what happened to his brother, who went missing as a child, and to track down a present-day killer known as ‘Birdman’. How this maniac gets his nickname still makes my stomach churn.
From Simon's list on thrillers with serial killers that get under your skin.
The late, great Mo Hayder wrote some of the most disturbing fiction I have had the joy of reading. Birdman is the first book featuring DI Jack Caffrey and combines rigorously authentic policing with terrifyingly graphic descriptions of the crimes and their perpetrators. Start at the beginning of the series, and I dare you to make it to the end.
