If you've never come across Peter James before, your missing a treat. This is more a supernatural thriller than a horror, and by the title of this review you can guess the general theme. What makes this a good read is the way its styled. Yes, you can guess the ending, as you can in most books once you've grasped exactly whats going on, but its how it comes about which keeps you on your toes.The ending, in truth (no pun intended) left me a little let down, hense 4 stars instead of 5, but for any fans of Herbert / King / Koontz out there, you should add Peter James to your must read list.
