I love Mark Billingham's writing and<b> I'm excited to have found a new favourite detective</b> in the ballroom dancing, rat-loving DS Miller

Claire Douglas

There is <b>a laugh on every page</b> yet it is the depiction of Miller's furious grief that is most <b>impressive </b>and provides a <b>heartbreaking </b>finale
