The Shadow Step

A Detective Miller Novel

De: Mark Billingham

Narrado por: David Threlfall

“Readers rejoice! A captivating new series from Mark Billingham—the very best in the business.” —Richard Osman, #1 bestselling author of The Thursday Murder Club

Detective Miller is back and investigating his most perplexing case yet.

The Shadow Step: One taken simultaneously by a pair of dancers facing the same direction, one of them behind and slightly shifted leftwards ("in the shadow")

A perfectly executed shadow step demonstrates synchronized elegance. It showcases a couple in near telepathic harmony with one another. It does not normally end with someone stone-dead in a lake.

DS Declan Miller is a magnet for strange cases, but an innocent man confessing to the crime? That’s a first. Things rapidly escalate when the murder that isn’t really a murder attracts the unwanted attention of a drug Queenpin, a deranged ex-squaddie, and a lovesick gangland enforcer. And when a real murder follows – and a student is kidnapped – all evidence points back to the same innocent man.

Throw in a wobbly dog, a pair of ceramic leopards, and the distracting smell from a biscuit factory, and Miller’s only option to save a young man’s life is to waltz all the way into the shadows.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Overall, listeners will find the characters and the plot funny, touching, and compelling."
—Kirkus Reviews

Always a treat

Never fails to bring the humor while being quite touching at other moments. Cannot wait for the next.

David Threlfall is a treasure.

Clever, sensitive and hilarious

What I dislike most about these Declan Miller books is that they end. The character’s sly and poignant humor provides joy, as well as insight into our humble, fragile human condition. I laugh out loud while reading, then decide to reread the first two books after I finishing this third one. Billingham makes a significant contribution with this series.
