Die of Shame

By: Mark Billingham

Narrated by: Mark Billingham

Every Monday evening six people gather in a smart North London house to talk about shame. A respected doctor, a well-heeled housewife, a young male prostitute...they could not be more different. All they have in common is a history of addiction. But when one of the group is murdered, it quickly becomes apparent that someone else in that circle is responsible.

The investigation is hampered by the strict confidentiality that binds these individuals and their therapist together, which makes things difficult for Detective Inspector Nicola Tanner, a woman who can appreciate the desire to keep personal matters private. If she is to find the killer, she will need to use less obvious means. The question is, What could be shameful enough to cost someone their life? And how do you find the truth when secrets, lies, and denial are second nature to all of your suspects?

I missed Tom...

but liked the character of Nic Tanner and hope to see more of her with Tom Thorne.

Umm?

I feel as though there was no suspense in this book. Nothing to cause the story to “POP.”
The characters were humble with Chris carrying everyone else on his back. Even Tony couldn’t hold my interest. The dead girl died to late in the story with a simple explanation from her murderer.

I was a bit dissatisfied with the lack of plot. The only reason I kept up the listening is because I like to give an author a chance to impress me and allow him the chance to make me want to read or listen to something else they have written. Maybe I will, or I won’t.

I enjoyed the authors narration.
