Skin

This is the first book I have read by author Mo Hayder.  I thoroughly enjoyed the story she presented.

A decomposing body is found near the railway tracks near Bristol.  It appears to be a suicide, but DI Jack Caffery is not so sure because other apparent similar suicides have appeared in the area.  Working alongside Caffery is Sergeant Flea Marley, a police diver.  She begins pursuing an investigation of her own.

Two stories that intertwine within the larger story.  Both Caffery and Marley have to handle their own demons that seem to be drawing them closer together, yet seemingly pushing them apart. 

An intriguing murder mystery to say the least, well worth the read.  I am going to look for other books by Mo Hayder now.
