Summary
When a dead body is found in a North London flat, it seems like a straightforward domestic murder until a bloodstained sliver of X-ray is found clutched in the dead woman's fist - and it quickly becomes clear that this case is anything but ordinary. DI Thorne discovers that the victim's mother had herself been murdered 15 years before by infamous serial killer Raymond Garvey. The hunt to catch Garvey was one of the biggest in the history of the Met and ended with seven women dead.
When more bodies and more fragments of X-ray are discovered, Thorne has a macabre jigsaw to piece together until the horrifying picture finally emerges. A killer is targeting the children of Raymond Garvey's victims. Thorne must move quickly to protect those still on the murderer's list, but nothing and nobody are what they seem. Not when Thorne is dealing with one of the most twisted killers he has ever hunted....

the author tells the story. the best
listened to the author reading the story was far better than listening to an actor reading it it's more believable

Another enjoyable Thorne!
I genuinely really enjoy Mark Billingham's writing style. He nails the way the human brain ponders thoughts and scenarios and his dry sense of humour is great. He makes you connect with the characters so well. I love his narration. I like the fact it feels quite direct and to the point, again - dry. For me you know he knows his characters and I this really comes across.

Fantastic Thorne.
Great narration and a story that keeps you guessing to the end, Thorne is a lovable cop who does things his own way, I love the social side to Thorne makes him seem relatable. Highly recommend.

Tom Thorne at his best
I love Mark Billingham's writing - his sharp humour makes me smile and brings his characters to life. A great story - very believable and not over the top. Couldn't stop listening.

Much prefer Mark Billinghams narration. I love his books. Much better without horrendous sound tracks.

great plot line, twists were surprising.
Mark Billingham is probably the best narrator of his books and I can listen to him for hours; just as well as I tend to listen over 2-3 days rather than spread it out. the plot line had some unexpected twists and I won't spoil it. love the Tom Thorne series anyway and this did not disappoint.

another gripping Tom Thorne novel
I loved this book, the storyline kept me guessing tight to the last chapter. Mark Billingham again reads as well as he writes. I've missed out on the last two books, one mainly down to the narrator but both due to the music between chapters. I would love to hear that Mark has read those two as well. I'm looking forward to listening to the next book

Bloodline
I really enjoyed this twisty turny thriller. It was great to see all of the usual characters making north London a safer place! Thorne's ongoing relationship with fellow DI, Louise Porter makes him mellower, but not too much as he's after a serial killer ...
