Lets get one thing straight here...I think DI Thorne is a real "prick"
of a man. He is self centred, egotistical ,driven,and treats female
company in the most despicable manner. Louise his latest partner is
ignored by him, he is always working and likes to avoid conversation and
her compnay preferring to drink with his mates and refusing to
recognize that it is him and him alone that is the constant cause of his
relationship breakups. In this latest romp he has the company of a
young lady called Anna Carpenter and he actually believes that he could
have a relationship with her, that she really likes this super cool
egotistical cop this real man old enough to be her father!...well DI
Thorne get your act together and recognize that you have faults...lots
of them...and if not sorted soon you will be left a sad old man....there
I've got that off my chest and it is undoubtly down to the writing
talents of Mark Billingham that I can feel such a strong hate for Tom
Thorne. This is a first class detective story that starts with the
gruesome recalling of an old case that DI Thorne thought was "buried" in
the past. There are lots of surprises and a great action story that
takes place in both the UK and Spain but the real star is the
characterization of DI Tom Thorne this flawed copper with the bloodhound
ability to find his man...leaving misery and destruction in his path!
Great stuff.....look forward to the next outing!
