Critic Reviews

“PRAISE FOR MARK BILLINGHAM

'Mark Billingham is a master of psychology' Ian Rankin

'Fast-paced and twisting' Paula Hawkins

'At the very least it should reach the shortlist of this year's Booker prize' The Times”

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 -- Mark Sanderson 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 Adele Parks
A notable rival for the title of Britain's leading male crime novelist Financial Times
You'll be knocked sideways by the twists Daily Express
It's Billingham at his most dramatic 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)
Tom Thorne is one of the most credible and engaging heroes in contemporary crime fiction. Mark Billingham is a master Ian Rankin
Mark Billingham is one the biggest names in crime fiction and one the genre's most formidable talents Peter James
