This author has a distinctive writing style: he draws you in by setting up a series of story lines, which gradually come together; the pace of the book gradually increases and by the last 100 pages or so, it is very hard to put down. This book was no exception. His other trademark is meticulous research. I am used to detailed Police precedures set in Brighton; in this book it is all medical stuff taking place on Jersey.
I really enjoyed the story, seeing events from multiple viewpoints, feeling that one is observing the whole picture, but with a few red herrings thrown in. I continue to feel that any book with Peter James’ name on the cover deserves my attention.
