Tom Benn was born in 1987, and grew up in Stockport. He is a graduate of the UEA Creative Writing MA and was the recipient of the 2009 Malcolm Bradbury bursary. His first novel, The Doll Princess, was shortlisted for the 2012 Dylan Thomas Prize and the Portico Prize, and longlisted for the Crime Writers' Association's John Creasey Dagger. Chamber Music was published in 2013.
If The Doll Princess was a startlingly original reimagining of noir, then Benn has upped his own game. Chamber Music takes all the genre's most potent elements and makes them new and vital again. -- Cathi Unsworth Guardian It's so good, I almost forgot to breathe. -- Tom Adair Scotsman Superb...The result is a kind of Guy Ritchie-esque gangster comedy with infinitely more depth. -- Jake Kerridge Daily Telegraph One of the most exciting young British novelists working in any genre. Shotsmag Benn has a great ear for dialogue...[An] excellent book. Crime Fiction Lover
