### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A labyrinth of family relationships...
  

*by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2008*

Mark Billingham doesn't coast through any of his books.  He writes with an irresistible fervor and Detective Inspector Tom Thorne is back and riding Billingham's imaginative story arc like the crippled and reluctant fellow that he is. This time, Thorne is shunted off to a potential kidnapping case involving an unlikely 16-year-old boy who happens to be the son of a retired detective. This book follows dutifully follows prescribed police procedure (split infinitive followed by alliteration!!) until the story goes off a cliff and everything the reader assumes to be true must be re-examined. There is a sobering sidestory about a hate crime that weaves into the main story of kidnapping and family relationships and, as he has before, Billingham challenges our comfort zones.  But nothing prepared me for the devastating climax.Lest you thing that this is a desperately dark book, there is sweet and necessary relief in the form of Thornes friend, the sad-sack medical examiner Hendricks, who longs to adopt a baby with his reluctant partner. The scenes with Hendricks bring levity and light to this story.P.S. Note to the publishers: I know we're trying to kill fewer trees but a different or larger font would be a kindness to these aging eyes.  Even with reading glasses, it was a little tough.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good mysery, weak character development
  

*by L***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2008*

First Sentence:  You think about the kids.DI Tom Thorne and his team are searching for the son of a retired, formerly-high-ranking police official.  The boy has been kidnapped, and the father has been asked for a list of those who may have a grudge against him, but he leaves one name off the list.  Thorne leads the team on an increasingly trying case while still dealing with his back injuries.Billingham is great at creating a tight, twisty plot that, starts slow but, once you get into it, keeps you involved all the way through.  He switches points of view in a way that is easy to follow and which heightens the suspense of the story.  His sense of place is good and the dialogue crisp.  It did have an ending I did not see coming, which was great.What is lacking, to me, and has been through the series, is character development.  I don't feel I have a real sense of Thorne, at least not enough to care about him or have the same sense of involvement I have for other similar characters.I still have a couple more books of the series on my shelves and I shall read them, but I don't see myself going forward with this series beyond that.

    Slow Start, But Turns Into a Riveting Tale
  

*by Z***A on Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2009*

I had trouble getting into this book, but my patience was rewarded after a hundred pages or so when the book picked up speed and became compelling.  One of the problems with this book is that there are so many characters -- major and minor -- that force you to keep having to remember who they are.  Fortunately, Bellingham makes frequent recaps so you can -- as the Brits say -- sort it out.  All in all, I like Bellingham and feel this was a worthwhile read.  Not quite as good a book as Sleepyhead, but very good nevertheless.
