Some people criticize Peter James for taking a “formulaic” approach to his books. I see where they’re coming from. His books always have a number of threads, that gradually come together. The first few chapters set up each thread and appear quite unconnected. The stories are always quite complex and there’s inevitably at least one surprising twist. Some time is spent on updating the reader on matters with his [currently] fiancée Cleo and there is always something about his missing wife, Sandy. For me, this is all part of the pleasure of reading this series. It is familiar, but each story has enough “meat” to keep me on the edge of my seat. This book was very unputdownable once I got to the last 100 pages or so. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
