I read a lot of Peter James and the latter (like many) is quite singular in its history. From the beginning, the plot is compelling and the reader really expected to know the evolution ... Then the plot spans fifteen years about ... A pretty clever in his book about his thinking and even if it remains primarily a bill excellent thriller. I also recommend the same author FAITH, MOURNING ALCHEMIST and who also me all three! And nothing to spoil they are accessible and easy to read ... please !!
