Cry Baby: A Tom Thorne Novel by Mark Billingham
4.0
Probably more 4.5
This is the 17th in the Tom Thorne series but is actually a prequel as it takes you back to 1996, near the start of Thorne's career.
As the Euro'96 football tournament starts a boy, Kieron, goes missing whilst playing in woods with his best friend, Josh. Detective Tom Thorne is tasked with finding him.
This is told from the perspective of Thorne, the boys two mums Cat (Kieron) & Maria (Josh) and Kieron's.
This was my first book by this author and a really enjoyed it. It was a mix of police procedural and character play.
Apart from a few things that made me think "Really?!?" as it wasn't a realistic thing to happen this was well written. Will be adding the other books in the series to my TBR pile.
Thank you Mark & pigeonhole for the opportunity.
