Not a good choice if you need to be social. Save it for a weekend when you're on your own.

this was a fantastic story that kept me gripped and involved from start to finish. The main character was so real and the plot is excellent

After listening to most of Patricia Cornwell's books I needed another download to keep me going till her new stuff comes out. After listening to "Dead Man's Footsteps" by the same author I knew it would be a good listen. I was not disappointed, what an excellent plot, twists and turns right till the end. On the strength of this I have already downloaded "Not Dead Enough".

This is a great thriller,with many twists and turns.I put my life on hold for 2 days,so good.

If you collect cop-show cliches, then this is for you. Start with some stereotyped characters, add an unlikely set of coincidences with a sinister undercurrent, then introduce the police. Not just any police, but TV police: traumatic past, a maveric, fighting authority, with eccentric methods. But he's successful damaged goods, with convenient love interest at the mortuary. Ring any bells? So just when you are ready to accept that this is a screen-play warm-up for the next Morse/Frost, along comes the truly momentously bad dialogue with a character called Davey. And huge amounts of blatantly page filling Sussex police procedures. One to avoid.

I found this rather juvenile and laddish - there were loving descriptions of cars, consumer goods and brands, and women's breasts, while the characters themselves were cardboard. The plot was ludicrous and full of holes. The stag night prank/opportunity couldn't happen with modern communication technology and there was a deus ex machina of a psychic crow-barred in to solve it all at the end. It stacked up to make a very unconvicing book, which seemed to have an eye for the USA market ("parking lot", "gumboots" etc instead of car park and wellies). The reader used strange emphases and overacted terribly. Maybe the series improves, but I won't be reading any more.

Maybe its because I know the places he refers to; know the spaces he inhabits and all of that stuff. He writes his mysteries like screenplays so I can see them through his words and descriptions are wonderful. He frightens me to death some of the time and I empathise far too much with the characters I have to stop before I begin to worry that it is actually happening. Then I pick it up again. The man is a genius at this genre. Thanks Peter.

The narrator was really good for this title. I would recommend it as it is fast-paced and keeps you wanting to hear more

The first of the Roy Grace books, by the very talented Peter James.

Roy is a policeman, he's good at his job, but office politics and his home life aren't that great. A stag night prank goes terribly wrong, leaving the groom in dire straits. Can Roy fix it all before the vows are to be repeated?
