Worst plotting I've read in years. Knew who the killer was well before middle of novel. I'd suggest Mr. Carson do some research before he writes his next book. It takes some nine years to become a priest in the Catholic church; no one, and I do mean ...more

I have tried to read a number of Martin Walker's Bruno books but never finish. About half way through I get bored, very bored often, and turn to the last page or so and try another. His books need a lot more procedure and lots less food, horse, and d ...more

Disappointing The end is missing, or at least to me it’s missing. We never do find out who the other murderers were. Hard to believe this was publishd as it.

Good, but not five stars I very much like the writer and “his stories,”but as a crime novel, the lawyer’s story should not always be the center.

Excellent! I write police procedurals myself and am always seeking good writers for inspiration. John Harvey was a missed experience for me until a week ago. He writes one of the best procedurals I’ve read (I was going to say in a very long time but a ...more

James is a good writer but lacks integrity. That he would use a horrific event like 9/11 I find particularly upsetting. The event is exaggerated (my partner was a Captain in tbe NYFD at the time and spent more than a week on the pile, so I certainly ...more

I gave this two stars--why? I hate lies and racism. Peter James must know that the rumors thar Arabs were celebrating 9/11 in the U.S. is completely untrue, many times proven to be a lie, yet he insists on retelling it. What's more, as the partner of ...more
