4.0 out of 5 stars A merciless thriller Dec 1 2003
By HORAK
Format:Unbound
In the heat of the London summer, Mr and Mrs Peach are discovered imprisoned in their house in Brockwell Park. They have been bound and beaten and their son is missing. Jack Caffery is to investigate but the similarities to events in his own past make it difficult for him to consider this new crime with the necessary detachment. A nightmare is about to begin...
This novel by Mo Hayder is truly intense, even horrifying at times and certainly unforgettable, though nothing for the faint hearted!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Suspenseful Reading Oct 17 2008
By Barbara TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Unbound
The Treatment is Mo Hayder's second book and continues with a new crime for detective Jack Caffrey to solve. The book is excellent, suspenseful and wonderfully crafted to keep you reading and reading. It does carry through with a crime from Jack's past mentioned in her first book The Birdman (equally excellent). I found the detail in The Treatment very realistic and scary to read. Of course that just made it better reading. The Treatment does stand alone as a story but to really appreciate all the characters and the story, read them both. The Birdman is the first book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Read! April 12 2002
By Sebastien Pharand
Format:Hardcover
A few years ago, Mo Hayder shocked readers with her truly amazing debut effort Birdman. Her follow-up, The Treatment, reteams the reader with Jack Caffery, a London DI who once again finds himself on the trail of a sadistic killer. Only this time, the murders hit a little too close to home.

A man kidnaps an entire family and then performs horrible acts on them. Jack needs to find the killer before he takes over another family. But at the same time, Jack has to face his past. When he was younger, his older brother disappeared and was presumably kidnapped by one of Jack's neighbours. When this man dies, Jack is thrown back into his past and forced to come face to face with the demons that have been haunting him ever since his brother disappeared.

This is a very realistic thriller that will shock, excite and trouble you all at once. It is amazingly well written and it is very powerful in its realistic portrayal of human emotions and of violence. Though the book is often gory, the violence is written with tact and skill; the book has enough darkness to shock the reader but never repulses him. The plot is very intricate and full of believable twists and turns. You'll never be able to guess what's coming next.

Mo Hayder is the brightest new voice in the mystery/thriller field. I cannot wait to read her next book. There is no doubt in my mind that The Treatment will be the best mysetery of the year.

This is the second book by Mo Hayder about Detective Inspector Jack Caffery. I think an early warning is due that, if you have not read 'Birdman,' you need to do so before opening... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!
One of the best reads ever! As with Mo Hayder's first book, this one is pretty graphic, but with a tense, taut, twisting storyline that can't be missed. This book packs a wallop. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars More chilling than Hanibal Lecter
I couldn't put this book down but would have to walk away for brief moments to collect myself, the villain was so perfectly twisted. Can't wait to read Mo Hayder's next book. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Chilling!
(for obvious reasons I will not go into the plot)

Mo Hayder proves, once again, that reading her books before going to bed is definitely NOT clever. Read more
