Summary: Not bad, not bad at all
Review: This book was not that bad, actually it's was amazingly intense until the end, I must admit I was a bit disappointed " just at the end". There were quite a few things that were unanswered, and the direction was very misleading. Not in a twist kind of a way,like (I had you going) yet (here is a lot of information), that, 1). Doesn't have closure at the end; 2). has nothing to do with the main villain. But hey, solving crime shouldn't be as simple as we would like to,... READ?
Yatta yatta, so what! I enjoyed reading it, it was witty and exciting.
Also I really liked Sleepyhead, Mr. Billingham has quite a future with his talented writing style. PS, I really enjoy the intellect and wit about M.B's writing. AND the different terminology by the brit's language is just GREAT fun and catchy. For weeks after I finished this book, I was calling people bloody this and sloth's that!
Recommend, for sure !!!!

Summary: an intense mystery
Review: This is my first book by author Billingham and I am quite impressed. The plot twists around a pair of serial killers, intertwining the lives of DI Thorne and his crew of investigators. The final unveiling of the killer was quite a surprise, as I had guessed a different character to be the villain. The second half of the book really picks up speed and is hard to put down. You don't want to stop until the killer's identity is uncovered and hopefully he is caught. Intriguing characters, fast moving plot; I highly recommend it.

Summary: Darkly fascinating
Review: When two young women are found strangled in London, the police suspect a link. But they seem different in some ways. Eventually Detective Inspector Tom Thorne suspects two killers, linked somehow but operating alone. One of those killers proves to be easy enough to catch, but the other, his current identity a secret, is more challenging indeed. That killer strikes for pleasure, and gains further pleasure from the pain he causes others--including his fellow killer. Thorne and his unit are obsessed with the killer, but have to manage their other responsibilities as well. England may not be the murder kingdom that the U.S. is, but murder, like fast food, has been imported and taken. Meanwhile, the police have to deal with their own issues--sexual tensions among the detectives, alcoholism, and drug abuse. Thorne doesn't have a home life, but he does have an aging father who has begun behaving more and more erratically. Author Mark Billingham delivers a darkly fascinating and exciting suspense novel. Thorne and the killer play a battle of wits that each intends to win. Thorne hates the price he has to pay to capture the killer and the killer savors his kills, but they are alike in their willingness to make any sacrifice to achieve their goals. Fans of Bill James will love SCAREDY CAT and anticipate more books by Billingham.
