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.
As
you should know Tuesdays is book blog day were we talk about one
particular book and pretty much run with it. Today's blog is on the
book Wolf by Mo Hayder.
When
a vagrant—the walking man-- finds a dog wandering alone with the
words “HELP US” written on its collar, he's sure its a desperate
plea from someone in trouble and calls on Detective Inspector Jack
Caffery to investigate. Caffery is reluctant to get involved—until
the walking man promises new information regarding the childhood
abduction of Caffrey's brother in exchange for the detectives help
tracking down the dog's owners. Caffery has no idea who or what he is
searching for, but one thing he is sure of it's a race against time.
Meanwhile,
the Anchor-Ferrers, a wealthy local family, are fighting for their
lives in their remote home ten miles away. Two men have tricked their
way into the house and holding the family for ransom. Yet as the
captors' demands become increasingly bizarre and humiliating, it
becomes clear that this is more than a random crime—it's a personal
vendetta.

Published
on May 6th 2014, Wolf is the seventh book in the Jack
Caffery series. The book like its fellow books was generally well
received and was nominated in 2015 for the Edgar Award nominee for
Best Novel.
I
loved this novel and had to read it three, four times to fully
understand both the story as a whole and the twist ending it has.
Whilst I won't give the twist away, what I will say about it is it's
great writing on Hayder's part and definitely hits it on the nose as
being one of the best crime-thrillers of ALL Crime-thrillers. I
highly recommend this book to any book lovers not just to
crime/thriller readers and give the book a 9/10.
For
the history and my opinion of the book's Author Mo Hayder, Please
