Praise for Die of Shame:
One of Strand Magazine’s top ten books of 2016
Before turning to writing crime fiction full time 15 years ago, Billingham was a TV writer, actor and standup comedian. In those prior professions, he seems to have honed a beautiful sense of timing. Die of Shame is all about exquisitely controlled revelation that builds suspense and keeps the reader guessing, and second-guessing.” Colette Bancroft, Tampa Bay Times
Brilliant . . . A read-till-you-drop psychological mystery driven by some of the most intriguing characters you’ll meet.” Globe & Mail (Toronto)
A laser-sharp focus on the world's worst therapy group . . . A boiling Petri dish of alliances forged, strained, and broken amid the background of nonstop, sometimes knife-edged conflict. The solution, when it arrives, is satisfying enough. But it's the group portrait of the Monday-night therapy group, the most mismatched set of intimates since your own last family gathering, that lingers longest in the memory.” Kirkus Reviews
Shifting between past group sessions and Tanner’s present-day investigation, Billingham builds a complex plot that is as much a whodunit as it is an examination of addiction and the lies people tell themselves to survive.” Publishers Weekly
Very cleverly constructed . . . A terrific and unconventional addition to Billingham’s oeuvre, packed with colourfully drawn, wittily observed characters who never lapse into stereotypes.” Irish Independent
Billingham skillfully layers the deceits and betrayals concealing a satisfying twist. A must-read for Val McDermid fans.” Booklist
Mark Billingham is an outstanding writer of character-driven suspense, and Die of Shame is his best book yet . . . A complex, satisfying read!” Carol Schneck Varner, Schuler Books, Michigan
