Dead Man's Footsteps by Peter James
Rate this book
Clear rating
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

Not Dead Enough by Peter James
Rate this book
Clear rating
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

The First Cut by Peter    Robinson

Excellent and Disturbing

How sad that Peter Robinson has died. There are so few good writers in the crime genre although thousands of bad ones. This is more literary fiction, though, and not a crime novel at all. I’m very impressed that a male writer

Kept me reading!

I believe I read another of this writer’s novels but it didn’t make a sufficient impression to write a review. I enjoyed this one although I knew the killer from about half way through—it was obvious as his motive was apparent from th

I have in recent days been taste testing the British police procedurals (there seem to be thousands), finishing at least 20 pages per book before giving up. My rating for most is 2 or 3 stars, aside from Alex Scarrow and Stuart Pawson. Pawson makes m ...more

Vigil for the Dead by M.S. Morris
Rate this book
Clear rating
Try Alex Scarrow instead. He uses similar plot devices an characters but does a far better job with the material. Nothing comes alive for me with the Morris books. Most important, the protagonist is such a cliché and a boring one at that.
