Not as good as others

I didn’t like that the characters were all pretty one dimensional in this one, and the story was very predictable, not as surprising as the twists in the earlier books. And Roy Grace is getting a little full of himself - which speaks to some come uppance for him in continuing books? Hmmm. Also, sadly, William Gaminara’s female voices and American accents were just awful. Earlier narrators have done better jobs. I am committed to the series though and am hoping for better story lines in subsequent books.

Not my favorite in the series

Interesting but I didn't care for it as much as previous books for some reason. I found the characters confusing - maybe because the narrator made everyone sound pretty much alike. Often, there was little difference between Roy and Glen, for example.

The story was disappointing. One of the reasons I read British stories is because of the British characters. Too many Americans in this one (and the previous one as well.)

And then there's still Sandy. I certainly hope this comes to an end soon. But her storyline did get more interesting.

And find a better narrator.

Always delivers!

This is one in a series of British police procedural potboilers with an enjoyable recurring cast of characters. Brighton, where they are set, becomes one of the integral characters in the stories. They begin to fit like a favorite pair of comfy slippers, and the plots all have interesting twists that are difficult to anticipate.

Boring boring

Definitely the most boring peter James book yet. He waffles on an on about meaningless stuff which I am now on chapter 88 and nothing has happened. I love the character s but this book is just Awful.
