Hey
there Earthlings, Alternatives and Trollers. Put down that mouse and
lend an ear. Welcome to The Bandersnatch blog where we talk weird,
wacky and wondrous. I'm Mama Ogre and I have no idea what I'm doing.
Book
blog day boo yah. As you should know Tuesdays is book blog day were
we talk anything and everything and pretty much run with it. Today's
blog is on the book Ritual by Mo Hayder.
Nine
feet underwater, police diver Flea Marley closes her gloved fingers
around a human hand. The fact that there's no body attached is
disturbing enough-- until the discovery of the matching appendage a
day later. Both hands have been freshly amputated, and there are
indications that the victim was still alive when they were removed.
Newly
seconded tot he major crime investigation unit in Bristol, DI Jack
Caffery soon establishes that the hands belong to a young man who has
recently disappeared. As Caffery and Marley search for the rest of
the victim—and his abductor—they journey into the darkest
recesses of Bristol's underworld, where drug addiction is rife,
street kids sell themselves for a hit and a disturbing occult ritual
may be making an unexpected appearance.

Ritual's Goodreads page.
Ritual
was released on September 15th 2008 by Atlantic Monthly
press and is the third book in the Jack Caffery series. The book
received generally good reviews and went on to be nominated for the
2009 Barry award for Best British Crime novel and the 2009 Theakston
old peculiar crime novel of the year.
I
have yet to read ritual all the way through in one go. I find reading
Ritual rather uncomfortable and as such it has taken me a long time
reading it. Apart from that the book is well written and thoroughly
hits you right on the nose crime wise. I give the book a seven out of
ten.
For
the history and my opinion of the book's Author Mo Hayder, Please
head to the previous book club blog on Poppet (released 14/04/2020).
