Reader can't get enough of Poppet:

Mo Hayder’s first novel, Birdman, was hailed as ‘a first-class shocker’ by the Guardian, and her follow-up, The Treatment, was voted by The Times as ‘one of the top ten most scary thrillers ever written’. With the last Jack Caffery thriller, Gone, she won the prestigious Edgars Best Book award. Poppet is the sixth novel to feature DI Jack Caffery, and the fourth in the Walking Man series.
