Acerca de esta escucha
Perfect People is a compelling and thought-provoking thriller from bestselling Peter James.
John and Naomi are grieving the death of their four-year-old son from a rare genetic disorder. They desperately want another child, but they realize the odds of their next child contracting the same disease are high.
Then they hear about geneticist Dr Leo Dettore. He has methods that can spare them the heartache of ever losing another child to any disease.
At his clinic is where their nightmare begins.
They should have realized something was wrong when they saw the list. Choices of eye colour, hair, sporting abilities. They can literally design their child. Now it's too late to turn back. Naomi is pregnant and already something is badly wrong . . .

Marcus Valentine seemingly has it all: He's smart, charming, a successful doctor with a wife, three kids, and a job he loves. But something, or rather someone, is missing. One morning, driving to work, he almost runs down a female jogger crossing the road. Marcus cannot take his eyes off her. She is identical to a girl he was infatuated with in his teens. A girl he has never forgotten. Soon Marcus is consumed with thoughts of this woman. But when events take a tragic and unexpected turn, his obsession threatens to destroy them both.

Ross Ransome is at the top of his profession; one of the most successful, and certainly one of the richest, plastic surgeons in the business. Such a man would expect his wife to be perfect - and why not? After all, he has spent enough hours in surgery to get her that way. But when his wife falls ill she turns her back on conventional medicine, and her arid marriage, and seeks help from the world of alternative medicine and a charismatic therapist who promises not just medical salvation. For Ransome, this is the ultimate betrayal.

Three muffled thuds ring from the partially filled grave of the newly wed girl. Only the verger hears them, and he dismisses the noise as his imagination. But over the next few days, others also hear faint sounds. An exhumation order is granted. Reporter Kate Hemingway sneaks into the small suburban churchyard when the coffin is opened, and the scene she witnesses is so horrific she can never forget it. As she starts work on the story, Kate finds herself caught up in a sinister and macabre cover-up.

Enjoyable and easy listening. Certainly an unexpected twist in the end but what else can one expect from Peter James.

Disappointing
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I normally love Peter James books but this was just too Science Fiction for me. I thought it would deal with the social side of this subject but instead it because way out there.
Has Perfect People turned you off from other books in this genre?
No, because it wasn't quite the genre I presumed it to be when considering other titles by this author.
Do you think Perfect People needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No, the finish left it with nowhere to go with a follow-up

Interesting subject, surprising plot
Designer baby's, that's a hell of a subject for a socalled crime fiction book. There's so much that can go wrong! This story is no exception. Peter James is an intelligent writer and his stories have a heart. It's an exciting book with a riveting end. The excellent narrator has a beautiful voice.

Be careful what you wish for
Was way to long and the parts about the cults could be cut out and not missed. At first the story pulled me in but by the ending I was more than ready for the really bad ending. I really disliked how the reader tried to sound like a male. Would not recommend.
