Review Praise for The Wrong HandsAmazon Editors Pick in Best Mystery, Thriller & SuspenseDeadly Pleasures Mystery Magazines Best Mystery/Crime Novels of 2024The Financial Times Best Crime Books of Summer"[The] electrifying sequel to The Last Dance . . . Declan remains a dashing, sharp-witted protagonist . . . Throw in a delightfully madcap plot and breakneck pacing, and readers are left with a caper they wont soon forget."--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review"Wryly comic, fast-paced, and sharply observed, this excellent sequel to The Last Dance will be welcomed by the authors fans."--Library Journal"Although the tone of these nonstop shenanigans is never exactly lighthearted, their frantic pace, the ineptness of both cops and robbers, and the constant habit of many characters of sizing up their self-performative personas make it never less than madcap."--Kirkus Reviews"How about two severed hands, a hitman obsessed with the British crime show Midsomer Murders and a detective who can really dance? Welcome to Mark Billinghams second mystery starring Detective Declan Miller, a man haunted by his dead wife (literally!) with a flair for ballroom dancing."--Michael Glitz, Parade"[A] solidly crafted thriller and a bawdily funny caper . . . The outsize talent of Billingham . . . can be measured by the ease with which he balances this series humor with its central tragedy."--Nell Beram, Shelf Awareness"[A]n ingenious plot speckled with odd characters and frequent surprises . . . [A]n original and entertaining addition to the sturdy tradition of the maverick cop who solves crime despite his rather dim superior officers."--Yvonne Klein, Reviewing the Evidence"A novel from Mark Billingham is always a big deal for me as he is one of the best in the world at what he does . . . There are so many quirky aspects of this novel that make the plot just hum . . . What I love most about The Wrong Hands is the consistently snappy dialogue. Declan Miller is such a unique protagonist, and his quick wit makes the series sing and zip along smartly. It is such a contrast to Mark Billinghams brilliant Tom Thorne mysteries, which is why readers keep coming back for more."--Ray Palen, BookreporterPraise for the Detective Miller Series"Edge-of-your-seat tension, wit and heart--fantastic." --Lisa Jewell. #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Family Upstairs"A gritty, engaging novel that balances light with dark, offering wit and wisdom in equal measure.
