The Killing Habit (Tom Thorne Novels)

Product Information

The unusual premise will hook you, but it’s Billingham’s patience and persuasiveness in unfolding its grim details that will keep you reading long past the hour when all cats are gray. Forget about solving all these crimes; the signal triumph here is (spoiler) the heroine’s survival. Brilliant storyline and characters who from the first chapter grabbed my attention and didn’t let go til the last word.
