Find Them Dead (by Peter James)

Peter James is a prolific author and the latest story in the DS Roy Grace series based in Brighton is back on familiar territory. I was rather dismissive about an earlier standalone novel Absolute Proof. I enjoyed Find Them Dead but it does not live up to others in the series. It seems to meContinue reading "Find Them Dead (by Peter James)"

The Fine Art of Invisible Detection (by Robert Goddard)

It is very satisfying to rediscover an author. It is like greeting an old friend. I have read many of Goddard’s early books and thoroughly enjoyed reading them so I looked forward to the latest story. Has he matured like a good wine? Certainly, he has moved with the times and one of his themesContinue reading "The Fine Art of Invisible Detection (by Robert Goddard)"

Absolute Proof (by Peter James)

I am a fan of the Inspector Grace novels set in Brighton and eagerly await each new novel. Peter is quite prolific and often writes stand-alone novels – unfortunately, I find these variable in quality. I recently read Dan Brown’s Origin, and thoroughly enjoyed his tale which tackles “Where do we come from” and “WhereContinue reading "Absolute Proof (by Peter James)"

The Fox (by Frederick Forsyth)

Frederick Forsyth The Fox Review Many famous authors have a successful formula – Dan Brown comes to mind – and Fredrick Forsyth is another with a well-established formula. It all started with his book about the assassination attempt on General de Gaulle. Today so many books seem formulaic – perhaps they have all been toContinue reading "The Fox (by Frederick Forsyth)"
