Critics Review

Their Little Secret is a cracking read! It features one of the most twisted relationships I've ever read. I couldn't put it down!
Shari Lapena
Mark Billingham is a damn fine storyteller whose thrilling books always satisfy. With a propulsive plot that is as gripping as it is unnerving, you will not be able to put this book down. Their Little Secret is an unforgettable ride
Karin Slaughter
You think Billingham can't get better, and then along comes Their Little Secret, a twisted, and twisty psychological thriller, rich with character, insight and procedural detail. He is at the top of his game
Linwood Barclay
One of the most compelling figures in contemporary crime fiction . . . Beautifully constructed and written, it pulses with the humanity that is Billingham's - and Thorne's - trademark

Mark Billingham is one of the greatest writers in this, or any other genre

Is there a more peerless crime writer at work today than Mark Billingham? There are few writers whose work I enjoy more

An object lesson in how to take an established series into shockingly deep waters without losing the thread that keeps the franchise going
