review 1: This was a slightly different approach with delineated storytelling that sees two different Grace investigations separated by ten or so years. Both dealing with the same perpetrator, the Shoe Man. We are introduced to several potential culprits and begin to look for similarities ...

review 1: Çok uzundu... 4, hatta 5 yıldız bile verebilirdim ama bir polisiye romanının tüm o bilinmez sıkıcılığı 600 küsür sayfaya sığdırılınca gerçekten bunalttı. 400. Sayfadan sonra gerçekten sırf bitirmek için okudum, hani eğer katilin kim olduğunu kitabın başlarında zaten söylemeselerd...

review 1: I have to pace myself with thrillers. I can only read or listen to one every so often. Some can leave me with a headache from the eye-rolling with the portrayal of the serial killer's MO and the pursuing agents/cops following the clues and grudgingly falling in love (since it's u...

review 1: I am enjoying the Roy Grace series but this fourth novel is not as good as the previous three. The first third of the book flips between two timelines and several storylines and it just does not flow very well. Having just read 'I am pilgrim' which does a similar thing but in a v...

review 1: I love this series! This novel is hard to describe in a few words, it's all complicated and messy in a good way. Ronnie disappears, later thought to have died in 9/11. Abby is stuck in an elevator for almost a whole day. A body is found in a drainage sewer. Another body is found ...

review 1: Carly is onaandachtig achter het stuur omdat ze met haar telefoon aan het rommelen is. Achter haar rijdt een witte bestelwagen, een bumperklever. Ze kan nog net een fietser ontwijken die eigenlijk aan de verkeerde kant van de weg rijdt. Ze rampt de gevel van een huis. Wanneer ze ...

review 1: This book is caught between fact and fiction. The more I read, the more I believe that this probably actually happens and willed my mind to hope that it wasn't. Lynn's daughter is dying of liver disease and is on the list for a donor. A private agency is found who can provide ...

review 1: J'ai eu du mal a entrer dans l'histoire au début car beaucoup de personnages, de passés et d'environnements différents auxquels s'habituer mais une fois les "présentations" faites on comprend facilement comment les évènements vont prendre sens. Même si le thème est relativement f...

review 1: Another great Roy Grace novel from Peter James. Good to have some of the back story on his life with Sandra who we have only known as a 'misper' in previous novels in the series. From all his acknowledgements of assistance from police officers, I think we can assume that the auth...

review 1: My sister-in-law passed me this book to read, which she picked up as it is predominantly based near where she lives, so lots of places to be recognised. This is the fist time I've read a book by this author and I really enjoyed it. I would love to go back and read the first three...

review 1: Spoilers........believe it or not this was my first in the Grace series. Really enjoyed it, would happily read the whole series. So many good elements to it. I liked the fact his wife was around still as added excitement as to when she may pop back. Continuing themes like that ma...

review 1: I am a massive Peter James fan and think pretty much every book I’ve read of his has been excellent. It won’t come as that big a surprise that I thought this book was excellent. It centred on the issue of human trafficking for organ procurement and brought up some ethical questio...

review 1: I think Peter James has a great series here and a great detective in Roy Grace, it has been a while since I have returned to the cobbled streets of Brighton to see just what are Roy is getting up to! I believe the thing about a detective series is that you should not read the com...

review 1: Romance becomes obsession in this mysterious thriller. I haven't read any of the other DS Roy Grace books but I don't think you have to - I managed to follow the storyline and the book wasn't dependent on reading others beforehand. At times it's frustrating, but that's the talent...
