Poppet

Reviews

'Mo Hayder's blend of grisly Gothic and warped sexuality...makes for compulsive reading.' Mark Sanderson, Sunday Telegraph, 10.03.13

'Hayder's sharply drawn characters. major and minor, and her psychological acumen combine for a frightening and convincing read.' Publishers Weekly, 25.03.13

‘Dipping into Poppet when the house was silent and the rain was spattering against the windows probably wasn't a good idea: The book oozes sinisterness from the first page. ...high-wire tension, which never wavers’ Entertainment Weekly, 01.05.13

‘Hayder's rich psychological portraits of her characters and their sorrow over past loves and past deeds outshine the gore of the early scenes and makes "Poppet" a compelling mystery that will cause fans and new readers alike to ponder not just who did it, but why.’ Los Angeles Times, 17.05.13

"I will confess up front that I wasn't even a tenth of the way through POPPET and I was terrified.... POPPET is a shocker, though delightfully so. POPPET will have you placing Mo Hayder on your must-read list, if she wasn’t there already.” -  Joe Hartlaub, bookreporter.com, 24.05.13
