His gay associates, Angel and Louie are brilliantly characterised as both have plenty of skeletons in their own cupboards, hence their extraordinary ties with Parker.

Peter James 'Roy Grace' detective novels set in the south-east of England have been recommended to me. Have picked up a couple which I have put on hold for the time being.

Have just finished the latest (6th) in Peter James's 'Detective Superintendent Roy Grace' series, a crime series set in and around Brighton. The series follow on from one another in time and provide a gripping, addictive series of believable incidents and characters (with all their flaws) that I can recommend to any thriller buff. Peter James also writes stand alone horrow novels of which I have sampled a couple and enjoyed. Not late night reading for the faint hearted, though. I have just lent one to my sister which she says scared the sh*t out of her - if you'll pardon my French!

Was lucky enough to meet Peter James in London only a few months ago. He was presenting one of the awards at the Adult Learners Award Ceremony.

I am just starting the 1st of the Twilight books... not seen any of the films, I am hoping it to be good

I have read them all the first one was good, second one not bad but lost the plot after that. Haven't seen the films and no real desire to.
