Mark Billingham: 'Lifeless'

Talking Book Cover - 'Lifeless' by Mark Billingham

If you enjoy crime fiction and haven’t yet read Mark Billingham, you’re in for a real treat. His novels are amongst the most thrilling, engaging and readable of the genre – and they just seem to get better every time.

It is clear that with this latest novel in the Tom Thorne series, author Mark Billingham has taken a step up the ranks from a perfectly good thriller writer, to a writer who brings a depth of feeling and a humanity which will engage your emotions on many different levels.

Some parts of this book will almost have you feeling exhausted from the tension! Others will make you laugh. And, I’m afraid, some, including the opening passages, will turn your stomach.

Although, the book can be read on its own, I would recommend reading the novel which immediately precedes it - The Burning Girl - the events of which have a particular impact on Lifeless - also available in talking book format.
