I have been reading the Tom Thorne series in order and just finished Death Message. The story was so well developed and intriguing that it was hard to put down. The ending tied up some loose ends left in previous books and was very satisfying. I would highly recommend this entire series.

Death Message Mark Billingham 9780316730525 Books Reviews

Once again Mark Billingham hits it out of the park. Tim Thorne is the tough copper in the best British tradition, and this book contains just the right mix of personal and work drama Good job.
I found it hard to become interested in this .There is something colourless about the main character ; I cannot put my finger on it but I have been put off reading others by the same author.It's a bit like watching a black and white film when you have lived with the experience of vibrant colour.
Once again Billingham has crafted a nail-biting whodunit against the London landscape. Hero detective Thorne is battling his own demons while trying - perhaps ambivalently - to track down a serial killer...and a bent cop. Definitely recommended to crime thriller fans.
Always fun to read Mark Billingham's books. This is an enjoyable Tom Thorne mystery.
This is the sixth Thorne book I've read in this series and I probably won't read another one for awhile. I find I get tired of continuing characters in a book series when they get near or at double digit figures. In Billingham's case, DI Tom Thorne is such a depressing character that I get tired of his constant dwellings on his purposefully meaningless life. His girlfriend Louise is just as depressing as he is so the dysfunctional relationship goes on and on in this book. It takes up much too much story time in this dark tome. Boring.

What makes this a five star review is that the author writes quite well and has forged a murderer, Marcus Brooks,that really makes the book work. I wound up rooting for the killer over the cops. His story is very well written....a story that stays with you.

I find for me that trilogies work best. I quit reading Bosch, Delaware and Cross, etc.....I just lost interest in their similar plots, thoughts, injuries (that should be crippling for life), escapes from serial killers and whatever. The characters grow boring and stale, the bland un-stylish writing becoming more like a one week writing spree looking for a paycheck.

The only happy (somewhat) person in this book is friend Hendricks who is part of the plot but not really there in a way in this book.

This is a dark, depressing book with very fine story within the story.
I didn't know where this was going at any time. Well written unfolding story. I've added all of the Thorn books to my library
It's not often that you find yourself siding with a murderer, especially one who kills cops, but that's exactly what I found myself doing while reading this book. It's the best in the series to date, all the usual characters are included and the side story's are well fleshed out, as well as a question or 2 left from past Thorne encounters laid to rest. The authors ability to connect emotionally with his characters, and therefore with his readers is fully realized in this book, it will pull at your heart strings, keep you guessing, and it's just a damn good read. Not to be missed !
