Can Tommy find out what really happened to him and bring those responsible to justice?
Or will the past finally catch up with him and finish him off for good?
Review:
As many of you will know, I’ve followed Mark since his first book, The Revelation Room. He has been a diehard supporter of my writing as well. With Song of the Psychopath, we again journey down the rabbit hole of the more darker side of humankind. I admired how Tilbury utilized flashbacks with Tommy and how his personality visibly changed when experiencing one. I will openly admit this is not my favorite of Tilbury’s novels, not because it isn’t well-written, or the emotional impact is palpable, though. I will say, he’s certainly earned his nickname of ‘Twisted Tilbury.’ As always, I will await the next book by him to see just what he comes up with. Fair warning, this author is not for the faint of heart.
About the Author:
Mark lives in a small village in the lovely county of Cumbria, although his books are set in Oxfordshire where he was born and raised.
After serving in the Royal Navy and raising his two daughters after being widowed, Mark finally took the plunge and self-published two books on Amazon, The Revelation Room and The Eyes of the Accused.
He’s always had a keen interest in writing, and is extremely proud to have his fifth novel, The Key to Death’s Door published along with The Liar’s Promise, The Abattoir of Dreams, and The Ben Whittle Investigations relaunched, by Bloodhound Books.
When he’s not writing, Mark can be found trying and failing to master blues guitar, and taking walks around the beautiful county of Cumbria.
