The Last Dance Reviews

Readers rejoice! A captivating new series from Mark Billingham – the very best in the business. Richard Osman

Funny, moving and full of surprises. An absolute treat. Mick Herron

Bursting with charm and intriguing, complex characters. Janice Hallett

A showcase of Billingham’s exceptionally gifted storytelling. Karin Slaughter

There are some writers you wish weren’t so bloody brilliant. Very few possess the gift of being able to keep you on the edge of your seat while simultaneously making you laugh out loud. Fresh, funny, fantastic – this is the sickeningly talented Billingham at his best. Abir Mukherjee

Mark Billingham is on riotous form in THE LAST DANCE. Detective Miller – grieving, irritating, deceptively smart – is a wonderful creation. I haven’t enjoyed a crime read this much in ages. Vaseem Khan

“Billingham’s fans may rest assured that his highly accomplished performance deserves a big fat ten.” The Times

A gritty, engaging novel that balances light with dark. Nita Prose

Billingham’s mixture of comedy and hard-hitting crime investigation works well and, encouragingly, is not remotely cosy. Literary Review

It is an unmitigated joy from the very first page to the last and reminds the world just why Billingham is one of Britain’s greatest crime writers. Daily Mail
