He’s pretty good at that, and I actually think that this one was better than Sweet Heart, which he published a couple of years later. Sure, it still has a lot of the clichés that you’d expect from a haunted house story, and there are also echoes of Sweet Heart in that instead of having someone regressing into a past life, someone’s using a medium. There are also a bunch of conversations about Christianity that I didn’t particularly care for, but which I guess tie in with public opinion towards religion in the UK during the late eighties.Dead Man’s Time calls Roy Grace in once more. This time it’s for a burglary that has taken over a million pounds worth of loot. It has also left an elderly man who lives there dying. As Grace shows up on the scene, it’s clear that the family does not care so much about the valuables so much as one valuable in particular. They will do anything to get it. They don’t care about breaking the law and Grace is thrown into a hot pursuit that takes him through Europe and eventually all the way to New York. This read took me out of my comfort zone for more than one reason. I am not a huge fan of this genre, I am very easily scared when it comes to ghosts and the paranormal, but wanted to expand my reading material. I have reviewed this on a non-bias basis, taking these factors into consideration. Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition.

At the centre is a respected anaesthetist who has a secret obsession. He believes people can exist outside their bodies and that if he can prove it he will provide the answer to the question that has haunted mankind through the ages: is there life after death? After Charley and her husband Tom move into Elmwood Mill, sinister memories of a previous existence start to haunt her. Despite both their attempts to dismiss everything with rational explanations, the feeling turns to certainty as the memories become increasingly vivid and terrifying. However, he has written a few more standalones in recent years and these are a great option to determine if you enjoy James’s writing without committing to a full series.The Society of Antiquaries of London, Notes on Its History and Possessions.

I’m a massive fan of Peter James and love his Roy Grace series and therefore bought every other book he has written too 😂

Roy Grace (τα δυο πρώτα βιβλία έχουν μεταφραστεί στα ελληνικά από τις εκδόσεις Modern Times). Το "Φάμπιαν" δεν είναι αστυνομικό μυθιστόρημα, αλλά ένα συμπαθητικό και καλογραμμένο υπερφυσικό θρίλερ, που θα έλεγα όμως ότι ακολουθεί μια κλασική συνταγή και δεν ξεφεύγει πολύ από την πεπατημένη. My Halloween choice for this year turned out to be a poor one indeed. Peter James, who is bewilderingly compared to writers such as Michael Crichton and Stephen King, seems to have kept his place in mainstream popularity. In fact, I wouldn't say this is entirely undeserved either. He can generally spin a good thriller - nothing amazing, but usually decent. I enjoyed Alchemist and Denial, and even Host would have been higher in my esteem if it just wasn't so tiresomely long. This though, his third novel, was perplexingly bad. Leaving aside the hollow characters, the cliched scares and sloppy structure, the whole thing is just a lazy retread of Blatty's The Exorcist, religious contemplations and all, only without an ounce of that novel's greatness. Peter James is a British best selling writer of fictional crime novels. He has written 25 novels that have been translated into over 35 languages. His series featuring Detective Superintendent Roy Grace have sold over 14 million copies world wide. He has had six UK Sunday Times #1 books consecutively due to this series. Peter James was born on August 22, 1948 in Brighton, Sussex, England. His mother Cornelia James was the Queen’s Glovemaker.
