Critics Review
-
A gripping, grisly read . . . Mark Billingham is a terrific crime writer
Anthony Horowitz
-
The sense of mounting dread would be unbearable were it not for Billingham's black humour that somehow highlights rather than undermines his sensitive depiction of the consequences of crime. The Murder Book [is] a brilliant thriller by a writer at the top of his game
The Times
-
This is Billingham at his most enjoyably melodramatic and you'll be knocked sideways by the barrage of twists
Daily Mail
-
Another tense, taut and meticulously planned story, shimmering with edgy originality and depth. Crime fans know Billingham is a formidable talent
