I JUST finished this book and I feel like I have to review it NOW. WOW WOW WOW is what sums it up for me. Absolutely superb book! I don't even know where to begin with starting to say how good I found this book! The pity is the author in question has taken to writing to crime now, I'm going to write to him myself and tell him to continue the horror stuff as he's so bloody good!

I borrowed this from the library because I like his detective stories. Didn't realise this was going to be horror/ supernatural claptrap. Highly readable so well crafted, but what tosh!

This is my first book of peter james.It was really scary but the writer is
a world class and writes in a fantastic way.
I liked it very much and thus I became a fan of his.

I actually enjoyed this a lot more than i expected to. I needed something to read on the bus home from Uni and this filled the gap.

However i will warn you, The stuff about coincidence makes you rethink everything! It freaked me out
