  • Gives you a tantalising glimpse into the books core meaning.

    As with all Mark Billingham books, the storyline is compelling reading and you end up needing to know the ending. Reading as often as possible to discover more twists and turns and characters is normal with Mark Billingham books. It is a must to buy the next one when the current one is nearly finished.

  • An excting murder mystery

    It started with a girl being burned and it got more complicated when another girl went missing .It was intriguing because you didn't know who was responsible until the end - it's agood book when you can't work it out yourself.
