The sixth in the DS Roy Grace series follows the themes established in previous novels, but is written to enable new readers to start the series here without needing to read the previous titles. Grace is a senior officer in the Brighton and Hove CID, with special responsibility for cold cases. In the past five books (summed up briefly for new readers) he has not had much opportunity to fulfil this role given the numerous contemporary cases he's solved over the past year (an amazingly varied year!). Now, Grace looks through some of these neglected old cases as the year approaches its end, determined to make inroads. Before Grace can get started, a rapist quickly dubbed "The Shoe Man" attacks a woman in a case with uncanny similarities to an old case of his. Another woman is attacked, and Grace quickly puts together a team to investigate. We also, unfortunately in my view, inhabit the "mind of the rapist" as he/she identifies likely victims and tracks them down - as well as the minds of a few other unsavoury characters no doubt intended to increase suspense but in fact slowing the pace of the book with rather cliched descriptions of unpleasant thoughts and activities.Read full review
Peter James is a fantastic writer. Having lived in the Brighton area and worked in the police force, his stories are so real and you don't want to put the book down. price was good especially for hard backed copy.

It’s brilliantly written, compelling and keeps you in suspense. But it is too graphic, too brutal, too cruel. It’s also very long. Peter James is an exceptional writer, really good. But it’s definitely not bedtime reading!!!!
