dark tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Surprisingly religious throughout and incredibly detailed (read: headache-inducing) about the pharma industry.

This was my first Peter James book. I liked the character of Monty and also the mysterious Connor. It did take me a while to get into it but once I did u enjoyed the action; however, some of the stories got a little farfetched for me (it's a conspiracy novel not a fantasy novel in my eyes, so some scenarios seemed a little stretched). Overall though I did enjoy the authors style and would read more of his.

my first book of his, was told it was scary, it was actually rather boring, not really interesting at all, a medical thriller, mostly like robin cook, (i like some of his ), doubt i will read another of his,

Bit of a slow start, but a lot of in depth background information was given which aided the story. Very interesting storyline, with its elements of real life, feels like it could really happen. Really good thriller/mystery book definitely recommend.
