Synopsis

From "one of the most consistently entertaining, insightful crime writers working today" (Gillian Flynn), The Killing Habit again brings together favorite wild-card detective Tom Thorne and straight-laced DI Nicola Tanner on a pair of lethally high-stakes cases.

While DI Nicola Tanner investigates the deadly spread of a dangerous new drug, Tom Thorne is handed a case that he doesn't take too seriously, until a spate of animal killings points to the work of a serial killer. When the two cases come together in a way that neither could have foreseen, both Thorne and Tanner must risk everything to catch two very different killers.

Think I need to cease reading this series. It is dropping rapidly, back to where it was 4-5 books ago. I know it improved for a while, but I have too many great books waiting to waste any more time. It is too London centric and football based for me. When he starts insulting F1. I find it difficult t......more

This is obviously gruesome and the subject matter is going to be very distasteful for some people. However Billingham has a knack for injecting just the right amount of humou......more
