Hi Dave, I enjoyed the book and would never have chosen this genre, so thanks for settng up BOTM. I found it well written and gripping all the way through, I was willing Davey to tell someone about his radio conversations! It was easy to picture as it was written like a film script but it did end slightly abruptly and of course, it all had to get a bit too complicated and unbeleivable in order for it to all work out in the end.

Must go, need to be at work, but I'll check back with more thoughts and comments later.

This is not the type of book I generally read but as it was a BOTM I decided to give it a go and I must admit I couldn't put it down. Roy Grace became a real character and has led me to read another Peter James book.
It's about a stag night prank that goes tragically wrong. Extremely frustrating in places and rather unbelievable but nevertheless I'm glad I was introduced to a different genre.

I agree about the 'unputdownableness' - I started it late one night (alone in the house) and the claustrophobic description of the burial made me quite nervous and I just had to keep reading.

Not my usual cup-of-tea, and the 'medium' stuff left me a bit cold, but still a good read.

I thought the descriptions of him stuck in that coffin were as believable as anything I've ever read. I couldn't put it down, but when I did I kept thinking of him in there!
