The author says it best about the idea behind his international bestselling debut, The Chemistry of Death, set in a rural village in Norfolk, England, and published five years ago in 2006:
What is The Body Farm?
Combining the menace of Thomas Harris and the forensics of Patricia Cornwell with storytelling skills uniquely his own, Simon Beckett has written a thriller with an unnerving and original twist. This is unequivocally one of the best crime thrillers I have read this year or/and ever. Can't say it hasn't been a good reading year for me!
The Chemistry of Death was shortlisted for the prestigious CWA Duncan Lawrie (Gold) Dagger Award in 2009 and the Theakstons Crime Novel of the Year Award in 2008. More thrilling information about this book, etc, can be found on the author's website. Take time to read.
Rating: 5/5
