The Murder Book
We have been waiting with bated breath for the next in the Tom Thorne series – and it has finally landed! The latest in Mark Billingham’s long run of knock-out thrillers published just yesterday, and we know you’ll be as excited as we are to get up to speed on what Thorne has been doing since we last left him.
We return to a Tom Thorne who is much happier than we have seen him before, with good friends and a stable romantic partner, but all good things come with a price, which he soon discovers when an old enemy returns. After investigating a series of grisly murders committed by a young woman who almost seems proud to be caught, Thorne peels back the layers of a secret far darker than he could have ever realised. Now it’s his reputation and loved ones on the line, and he is about to find out how far he will go to save them.
This is a classic edge-of-your-seat gripping thriller by Mark Billingham, with twists and turns that will keep you racing through the pages this weekend!
