Denial by Peter James
3.0
Woah; Psychosis safari. is everybody in this story a fruitcake?
I picked this up as I've always liked Peter James and I have to say, I was a little disappointed that it wasn't a Roy Grace novel,however,I soon got into the story and as long as you take it in the spirit it's written you'll find it a quick and enjoyable read.
The main reason it's only a three star for me,is that the characters are just so unrealistic.If I ever needed therapy I hope I don't get this guy.Probably the most neurotic, love-struck wierdo I've ever come across in a book. You're constantly shouting in your head for him to man up and get a grip.
The police officers are intelligent one minute and thick as pigs pooh the next and the psychic Nazi briefly flits in and out of the story making you wonder why he's there.(Probably because James couldn't come up with any other link with the killer.)
All in all a reasonably satisfactory read with too many flaws to make it good read.
