Madison Capital Times (WI)
“Mark Billingham writes some of the scariest crime books around. His third, Lazybones, confirms his ability to mix first-rate plots with grim psychological tensions that cannot fail to unsettle.”
The Times of London
“A remarkable combination of police procedural and psychological thriller…The addition of solid and realistic police investigation by a very human detective serves to balance the horribly unreal.”
Library Journal
“Engrossing…Compelling characters, along with Billingham’s gift for coupling canny observations with effective plot misdirection, mark this series for long-term success.”
