Customer Reviews

Another great read from an ever changing author.
Having followed the writings of this author and enjoyed every book so far, this one brings it's own cast of strange charecters who jump out from the pages. A grieving mother is torn between the dead and the living, tormented and terrified she embarks on a frigteningly realistic journey which grips and twists as it goes. Again Peter has me sitting on the edge of the seat, I think I've got it then realize I haven't. This supernatural thriller is totaly believable and worryingly real. Other favourite titles include Host and Denial. My only complaint is that I read them faster than Peter creates them!

Not my sort of book but...
I couldn't put this down. I only picked it up because I had nothing else to read and now I can't wait to buy more of his books. I hope they're all as good as this.

Well worth buying and reading.

Another good read from Peter James
An interesting read by a very clever author, although this is not his best book. Fabian is killed in a car crash, and his mother is haunted by him as mysterious things keep happening to her. I particularly loved the invention of the old ballroom under the lake, I found this really fascinating, what a fantastic and spellbinding idea.
