Produktdetaljer
Biographical note
Mark Billingham has won numerous awards, being one of only two authors to twice win the Theakston's Old Peculier Award for Crime Novel of the Year. Each of his novels has been a Sunday Times bestseller, including all those in his two series, Tom Thorne and Declan Miller. Sleepyhead and Scaredy Cat were made into a hit TV series on Sky 1, and a series based on the novels In the Dark and Time of Death was broadcast on BBC1. Mark lives in north London with his wife and two children.A gripping, grisly read . . . Mark Billingham is <b>a terrific crime writer</b>
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. <b><i>The Murder Book </i>[is] a brilliant thriller by a writer at the top of his game</b>
- Mark Sanderson, The Times
This is Billingham at his most enjoyably melodramatic and <b>you'll be knocked sideways by the barrage of twists</b>
Daily Mail
Another tense, taut and meticulously planned story, s<b>himmering with edgy originality and depth</b>. Crime fans know <b>Billingham is a formidable talent</b>
Adele Parks
A notable rival for the title of <b>Britain's leading male crime novelist</b>
Financial Times
<b>You'll be knocked sideways</b> by the twists
Daily Express
It's Billingham at his most <b>dramatic</b>
Mirror
At the very least it should reach the shortlist of this year's Booker prize
The Times (on Rabbit Hole)
Fast-paced and twisting
Paula Hawkins (on Rabbit Hole)
The most cunning, complex, claustrophobic mystery
Louise Candlish (on Rabbit Hole)
