Wow! I am speechless! When I first read the first one of this series I was intrigued by Peter James and pretty much bought a few of his other books straight away! Yes it did take me a while to get around to it (by a while i mean a year lol) but damn, now I wish I had done it sooner!Â
If you know me by now, a good mystery has to have death, gore, all kinds of stuff. Do not give me a mystery regarding some theft! I will not read it!Â
I love Roy Grace as a detective and his whole team as well! His friendship with Glenn I think is pretty wholesome and I quite feel for me and his wife that disappeared 10 years ago. I would very much like to know what happened to her! Did she run off? Was she abducted? Can she possibly still be alive? Maybe they solve it during one of the other books in the series. There's like 20 now!Â
Also, shortly after I read the first book, I watched the show! Unfortunately, only one episode was released which was based off the first book. I quite enjoyed it to be honest! I didnt really like the cast of Roy himself. I know hes not supposed to be young but in my head he looks young for his age so maybe another actor would have worked better in my head. An amazing job regardless and I am owed more!!Â
TW: death, kidnapping, stalking, murder, sexual content, blood, body horror, confinement, gun violence, violence, tortur, physical abuse, gore, pedophilia, car accident, alcoholism, homophobia, injury detail, fire, slavery, trafficking, vomitÂ
