Review: WOW this is the first time I have read a book by Peter James and it won't be the last as Wish You Were Dead was an absolutely brilliant Quick Read short story and is also a Novella too. "Visit the beautiful Chateau-sur-L'Eveque. Enjoy it's isolation, its wondeful hopitality. Truly you will have ....the holiday to die for." The story starts with Debbie a nosy cleaner in a mortuary where she can sneak a look at the ledger in order to obtain information about details of her boss Cleo Grace's holiday destination for a dodgy friend of her husband for £500 cash in hand a nice little earner. Detective Superintendent Roy Grace along with his wife Cleo who is five months pregnant, their son Bruno and his brother Noah and also Kaitlynn their twenty-eight year old nanny who was also a friend of the family were on a mission by car to start their much longed for holiday in a French chateau for a week's holiday which had stunning reviews on TripAdvisor. Jack Alexander a Detective Sergeant on Roy's team was also to join them at the chateau but had to finish a work related case in Paris and Jack was also the boyfriend of their nanny Kaitlynn so it was going to be a free holiday for him and he would love to get to know Roy outside of work and pick his brains about policing in order to advance himself in the force. There is an exasparating journey by car to finally locate the chateau which does not look like anything they had seen online. Monique and Vicomtesse her husband who is wheelchair bound sternly greeted them as they arrived rather late due to getting lost on the way. When they all settled down they kept trying desperately to get in touch with Jack via thier mobiles as Jack still hadn't arrived and his car was nowhere to be seen nor was any other car on the grounds outside the chateau. They asked to use the landline but their hosts told them that the phone line was down due to the current storm. Little did they know that their holiday is going to become a living nightmare as someone from the past is out for revenge.

Review: Prefer the normal, longer books of this series . Like getting to know about the characters and missed the banter with Glen
