Time of Death by Mark Billingham
The gripping, brilliantly plotted Tom Thorne thriller from Mark Billingham was a number one Sunday Times bestseller in 2016.
Ingenious.. what is most impressive about this novel, however, is the astute observation -- Laura Wilson * The Guardian *
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 Telegraph *
The plot element on which this gruesome mystery turns is certainly one of the cleverest and most satisfying that I've read for ages. * Morning Star *
What lingers in the memory is the group portrait of the Polesford locals brutally closing ranks against a man they're certain deserves to die. * Kirkus *
