Love Like Blood – Reviews

 

Love Like Blood is this year’s must read novel. Superb.
The Crime Warp

The author’s rage, together with his skill as a crime writer, makes this a gripping and genuinely tragic story.
The Literary Review

Chilling and moving. Tom Thorne is on terrific form.
The Times of London

An intelligent, hugely entertaining thriller that treats its subject with sensitivity. It includes gasp-inducing moments of drama and some ingenious twists.
The People

Brilliant and unbearable.
The UK Independent.

This sensitive subject is delicately handled, with a perfectly executed and thoroughly unnerving twist at the end.
The UK Guardian

The author’s rage, together with his skill as a crime writer, makes this a gripping and genuinely tragic story.
The Literary Review

His emphasis on the thorny issues surrounding honor killings allows Billingham to put a new and urgent spin on his tried-and-true procedural formula. Very few will predict the unnervnig coda.
Kirkus

This is a searing story, excitingly told with several unexpected twists in the tale.
The Irish Independent
