Love Like Blood has a rich seam of biting wit, impeccable plotting and realistic police detail. The result is an intelligent and hugely entertaining thriller that treats its subject with sensitivity. It includes gasp-inducing moments of drama and some ingenious twists * The People * This is a searing story, excitingly told with several unexpected twists in the tale * Irish Independent * Want something to get the heart racing as you laze by the pool?...A thrilling read not for the faint-hearted * Sun * Brave, topical, important and as uncomfortable to read as it is impossible not to * Heat * Shocking and topical, the 14th book in the Thorne series is an engaging thriller from one of Britain's best crime writers * Daily Express * The strength of the DI Thorne novels is in the knowledge that all of this could be real. The closing of the novel will please even the most discerning fan of the police procedural, and leave you yearning for more. * Crime Fiction Lover * The author's rage, combined with his skill as a crime writer, makes this a gripping and genuinely tragic story * Literary Review * Thorne is a terrific invention * Irish Independent * Entertaining, thought provoking and current * West Australian * As ever with Billingham, a rich cast of characters and tense situations are marshalled with panache, leading to a final terrifying encounter * Financial Times * Brilliant and unbearable * Independent * An unconventional literary superstar * Mail on Sunday * Irascible, irritating and indefatigable...Billingham's passionate depiction of the injustice and brutality that flow from these killings spills from every page, making this one of his most powerful crime novels, written with a fury that does both him and Thorne justice * Daily Mail * Mark Billingham on superb form. A finely paced and polished procedural, with twists and turns galore and an ending that will chill your soul. * Cara Hunter, author of Close to Home * [A] sensitive topic delicately handled, with a perfectly executed and thoroughly unnerving twist at the end * The Guardian * A new Mark Billingham is always a treat and The Killing Habit hurls the reader straight into the action - the real mystery of the M25 cat killer. If you can judge a man's heart by his treatment of animals, then Tom Thorne has someone very dangerous on his hands. Thoroughly enjoyable for being so very real. * Susie Steiner, author of Missing, Presumed and Persons Unknown * Groundbreaking ... a gripping, unsensational take on a type of crime that is happening more frequently than many of us realise * Sunday Times * One of the great series of British crime fiction * The Times * His [Billingham's] storylines of murders that go unseen or unrecognised are chilling and moving, and Tom Thorne is on terrific form * The Times *
