My Review
This is the first in the Ben Whittle Investigations series and my second Mark Tilbury novel. I can only conclude that Mr Tilbury takes evil to another level. The tension he builds up has plenty of light relief, with comedic undertones filtering through from time to time. I have a huge back-log of reading to do, and tend to shuffle the pack and not read the same author in succession. But I enjoyed this so much, I couldn't withstand the Tilbury withdrawal symptoms whilst knowing I have another jumping out at me from the bookshelf, so it's straight into 'The Eyes Of The Accused' the second in the Ben Whittle Investigations series.
