“Sometimes when I am playing with my cat, I wonder if, perhaps it is not my cat who is playing with me.”

Peter James, Looking Good Dead
Margaret G. Farrier
“I love a well-written police procedural novel and they don’t get better than the Roy Grace books by Peter James. Not only do the investigations come across as authentic, I really love the characters.”
