Their Little Secret
Their Little Secret | Mark Billingham
9 posts | 8 read | 5 to read
When DI Tom Thorne is called to conduct a routine assessment at the site of a suicide, he expects to be in and out in no time. But when he arrives at the metro station, where a woman named Philippa Goodwin threw herself in front of an underground train, Thorne inexplicably senses something awry and feels compelled to dig deeper. He soon discovers that she was the victim of a callous con-man whose deception plunged Philippa to her end. Enraged that one man's trickery caused an innocent death, Thorne enlists DI Nicola Tanner to help him track down the swindler and bring him to justice. But the detective duo gets more than they bargained for when a young man's lifeless, blugeoned body turns up on the shore of a nearby seaside town: it appears that very con artist they're searching for is connected to the murder. Brilliantly plotted with a shocking psychological bent, Their Little Secret is another masterful thriller from one of Britain's most beloved crime writers. With twists and turns that will keep readers guessing until the final page, this is Mark Billingham's most chilling novel yet.

Another great read! This kept me engaged and I enjoyed the storyline and the development of the characters, although the plot twists weren‘t as surprising as others I‘ve read recently. Mark Billingham‘s style reminds me a bit of Peter James - great storylines and real page turners, just don‘t expect anything too profound! 3.5/5 😊

Another brilliant book in the Tom Thorne series ❤
I thought it was a really good story. It was quite different, Billingham has a twisted imagination. I just loved the usual banter between Thorne and Hendricks aswell

When you feel like you're back with two old friends, going for a Curry at the Bengal 😍
I do love this series, especially as it's set in England and most of the series I read are American 🇺🇸

Mehso-so

The 16th in Mark Billingham‘s DI TOM THORNE SERIES has a bit of a treading water feel to it as Thorne and DI Nicola Tanner deal with the fallout from THE KILLING HABIT and Thorne deals with the breakup of his relationship with Helen. Unfortunately I didn‘t believe what happened between Sarah and Conrad or what it is about Conrad that makes him so irresistible to women so while I did keep turning the pages, this isn‘t really vintage Thorne.

andrew61 I am only up to book 7 so a long way to go but i do like thorne. 5y
IReadThereforeIBlog I am a big fan of the series - the banter works and the antagonists genuinely creepy. Have you encountered Nicklin yet? He makes my skin crawl. 5y
