A review by frombethanysbookshelf
Wish You Were Dead by Peter James
3.0
Detective Superintendent Roy Grace has left the stress of his job behind to spend a week with his family relaxing in France. They've booked a beautiful grand Chateu to stay in but from the moment they arrive it's clearly not what they'd expected. But their subpar accomodation and perculiar hosts aren't the only problems. While they're trying to salvage their trip, an old enemy is getting closer with only one thing on his mind - revenge.
Featuring Roy Grace from James' other novels, you don't need to have read any previous works to understand this quick thriller. Full of tense, brilliant worldbuilding and the characters were very memorable. For me, the story was a little slow and then it was total chaos at the end but still a brilliant short story in just over 100 pages.
