I recently read a book by Peter James called Dead Simple.
It was ' so real'. Loaned the book to my Sister who just couldn't read it. She got her husband to read a part of it, then tell her what he had read. I hasten to add that the whole book wasn't like that. Just couldn't put it down.
Found Peter James just recently. He has written books for years but his early ones I found a bit ' Stephen King'. New ones are not like that at all.

I have loved Peter James's last three books. Totally unputdownable. Like you his previous books did not appeal but his "new" detective is very readable.

Is that the one about a 'practical joke' on a stag night. I recognise the title. I am sure I read it and let someone borrow it and they never returned it. That gets me really mad!!!

That's the one. I have bought his latest one to take on holiday this week. Just the kind of book to read in great long chunks.

I have just finished reading it at 12 (midnight) last night. I could not go to sleep until i found out what happened at the end. Brilliant book, I shall definitely read more of his books. If you like his books, try Simon Kernick, Jeff Abbott, two other good authors to read.

Sounds great-personaly I found Relentless by Simon Kernick a bit of a letdown - too far fetched for me. I do love a good thriller though - Harlen Coben is tops for me.
