12. "The Treatment" was very scary

Not bad. I'd give it a B+. Worth reading if you like Hayder's other stuff, which is also scary and sometimes resembles horror more than mystery.

Also, I am reading "Midwinter Blood" by Mons Kallentoft. It's a little slow going, but not bad. It's set in Sweden. The plot starts when a man's body is found in a tree. The detective tries to figure out who the victim is. At first she thinks it's neo-pagans, but then it gets more complicated. Don't want to ruin it for you, in case you get it out of the library.
