The writing displays the virtues that have made Mark Billingham a bestseller: wit, careful plotting, attention to detail and great characterisation… won’t disappoint Billingham’s legions of fans - The TelegraphBrilliantly evoking the spooky island atmosphere, the tension of this macabre thriller is lightened by humour and believable characters - Sunday Mirror on The Bones BeneathBillingham ratchets up the tension, with a twist-filled climax that shows exactly why he’s one of the UK’s leading crime writers - Shortlist on Rush of BloodDialogue is perfectly pitched…It is a credit to Billingham’s skill as a writer that his characters reveal so much to the reader when blethering around the dinner table while revealing so little to one another - Scotland on Sunday on Rush of BloodStrong plotting and an all-too-plausible villain reveal just how good Billingham is, and confirm Thorne as a memorable, flawed hero - Daily Mail on The Bones BeneathAbout The Author
