THIS IS THE FIRST ONE IN THE SERIES AND WELL WORTH READING THEM ALL BUT YOU HAVE TO REALLY START WITH THIS ONE.
Loved it September 16, 2008
This is my first encounter with Peter James, and bloody glad i chose this amongst other books in the charity shop. As i progressed through the book, my girlfriend could hear me whisper "Oh my god" several times as the story unfolded. I was part relaying the story as i read. lol. Another plus point is the story is set where i grew up, so i had the added visual bonus with the story, which was cool. Just ordered my second P.James book and cant wait to recieve it. 10/10

Wow! August 27, 2008
When I was told not to read this book because it would give me nightmares of course I immediately started reading it and am I glad I did. It was absolutely gripping, completely original and I read it in three days without nightmares. Peter James has a fantastic writing style that draws you in and I couldn't keep up with the twists and turns. I've just gone out and bought Not Dead Enough and I know I shall whizz through all James' detective novels.
For me, James is up there with Robert Goddard and Harlan Coben. And that is praise indeed.

Just finished this book, having read it in a few hours. Its almost good, James is close to being a really good writer, However, the coincidence of Roy meeting Mark in the hallway after the poker game was a real turn off, but not as bad as the rotten ending. Using a medium to find the body?? Really scrapping the barrel.
