Critic reviews

Peter James is one of the best British crime authors (Lee Child)

Peter James is one of the best crime writers in the business (Karin Slaughter)

No one can deny James's success as a crime novelist . . . The Grace stories almost always go to the top of the bestseller lists, not least because they are supremely well-told. James writes meticulously researched police procedurals, so informed that you can smell the canteen coffee . . . enthralling

Peter James has penetrated the inner workings of police procedures, and the inner thoughts and attitudes of real detectives, as no English crime writer before him. His hero, Roy Grace, may not be the most lively cop, nor the most damaged by drink, weight or misery, but he's one of the most believable

another fantastic listen

And started tying up a lot of loose ends, now downloading next book. very intense ending

I enjoyed my first Audible.

This was my first Audible book. I was a little disappointed in the text. Peter James' use to make his books "Nail Biters" but I can tell along with myself as we grow older we lose a bit of ourselves. I wanted a little more of Roy Grace and his action and adventure. This was a little bit predictable. But I will always look forward to Roy Grace's next adventure, which I hope a little more Roy Grace. A lot in this book has finalized the sub stories that kept me reading. Bring those back Peter.

A Fitting Last Book in the Roy Grace Series ...

Have enjoyed every one of the twelve books in the Roy Grace series and this last book tied up most of the loose ends and was an admirable finale.

Another great listen

Loved Potting’s part in this one (spoiler alert)….and the snakes, spiders etc…a real cliffhanger.

Awesome

Loved this book. Bit sad about Tooth love the character. Poor goldfish hope he’s happy in fishy heaven.
