Dead Like You by Peter James


TITLE:  Dead Like You
AUTHOR:  James, Peter
GENRE:  Fiction/Thriller
MY RATING:  4.5/5
DATE FINISHED:  4/10/2011

So, I have finally finished the infamous thriller.  Thrillers aren't usually my cup of tea, but I have to admit that this one was really good.  I actually had to read it with all of my apartment lights on...  The story line was really creepy.  It also tended to be a little graphic in the description of the killer's actions.

The characters are extremely detailed and wonderful to read about (except for the mean ones - even though the descriptions were still spot on!).  Most of them had great personalities.

As for the patented thriller twist, I kind of figured out who the killer was before the end.  But Peter James was quite a trickster!  There was a twist that was completely unexpected.  For those of you who believe thrillers are a dime-a-dozen, and that you can always predict whodunit, this book is definitely for you!

Hopefully on to something a little more my speed.  But this was a refreshing change in book choices!
