TweetReviews
Although it was only published last year, this is a prequel to Billingham’s very first DS Tom Thorne novel (Sleepy Head). The story is set in the summer of 1996 and begins with two boys running from a park playground into adjoining woods. When only one of them returns the police are called. A witness comes forward to say that he saw a boy being taken and Thorne’s investigation soon begins to develop in unexpected ways. This is the first book by Mark Billingham I've read and I really enjoyed it. It's an excellent mystery with a surprising ending. 4-Stars.

An excellent crime thriller, and a great introduction to Billingham and Tom Thorne if you are new to the series
