Critics Review
If you want consistent page-turning, character-driven and surprising storytelling, then Mark Billingham is your man. He’s gone the distance without stumbling once, been at it for twenty-five years and only gets better novel to novel. There’s not many that you can say that about. I can’t wait to put everything aside to read the next one – MICHAEL CONNELLY
What The Night Brings might well be the best Tom Thorne novel yet. Billingham is in the form of his life – MICK HERRON
Billingham’s gripping twenty-fifth novel, What the Night Brings, is as suspenseful as it is emotionally charged. It’s Billingham’s masterful storytelling that makes him stand out as one of crime fiction’s finest – KARIN SLAUGHTER
A sensational, masterful, sharp and shocking thriller. Mark Billingham needs no introduction, but What the Night Brings is a true standout in one of the great crime series of our time – CHRIS WHITAKER
In What the Night Brings, Tom Thorne is at his dour, brilliant best, hunting down a cop-killer, a journey into darkness that ends in a revelation so shocking it has the legendary detective questioning everything. Topical, wise, and an instant throat-grabber. – VASEEM KHAN
One of the best British crime writers of his generation - and worryingly for the rest, he keeps getting better. – JOHN CONNOLLY
Billingham is on top form in What the Night Brings. The sense of impending doom starts on the first page and does not let up throughout. * The Times *
