Description of  Rush of Blood

Billingham has always been good at that, but he's particularly brilliant here in Rush of Blood. He does perhaps play to the conventions of the genre and feel the need to be a little more clever than necessary with the conclusion, but in doing so without invalidating the character development and the meticulously laid-out crime procedural elements that make this a terrific and insightful read, he demonstrates just how good a writer he has become. This is British crime writing at its very best.
