johnny on the spot said:Macca, I have to admit I haven't read any of Ellory's books. Crime fiction really switches me off. I'm willing to give anything a go, however, and if I'm meeting Peter James next week, I suppose it'd be courtesy to have read at least one of his.
Did you have any luck getting hold of The Ghost Child?
Ellory grated on me after a while, but I still consider Candlemoth a fantastic read.
As for meeting Peter James....you lucky sod! ;-)
I thought his best book was the Roy Grace one that starts with a stag night prank that goes wrong. Dead Simple I think it was.
And I did check out the local library for "The Ghost Child" but they didn't have it. However, will try and get hold of it somehow, as it appealed to me.
