Poppet, by Mo Hayder, 378 pages

Poppet, by Mo Hayder, 378 pages

I picked this because the cover looked creepy, and I was not disappointed!  This is part of the Jack Caffery series, of which I haven't read any others, but that did not stand in the way of understanding the story.  There have been a series of deaths and violent incidents of self-harm at the local psychiatric hospital; patients suspect a ghost, staff suspect a recently released patient, and Jack Caffery is going to figure it out before anyone else gets hurt.  The ending legitimately surprised me, and if you like things tidily wrapped up, then this will not disappoint.  Some very disturbing scenes are depicted/described, though- consider yourself warned!
