  Lol, a rare find, someone that gets the private eye annual. No cigar though as you have to admit to buying it yourself. I have a magazine sub, hilarious stuff, but I don't get the annual. I thought it was more of an urban tale that they did it.

  Hi what number is this book in series I’m on the book about the Shoe Man at the moment but want to catch up so I can read about Sandy

  The last Roy Grace story, Stop Them Dead was the 19th Grace story , the next one to be released in September 2024 ( One Of Us Is Dead) is the 20th Grace story. They Thought I Was Dead is Sandy's story and thus not technically a Roy Grace story although of course, he is a peripheral character in the book. So this book was issued after Grace 19 and before Grace 20. - hope this helps!

  Missing Pieces By Tim Weaver Review 2 out of 10. I’ve listened to about halfway and I’m gripped. so, why have I only given it 2 out of 10? Read on and you’ll see. It begins as a well written suspenseful thriller, a gripping present tense story of Rebeka, a medical doctor and mother, trapped on a small island in the Atlantic off the North American coast in winter and her gritty struggle for survival. It’s also a murder mystery, artfully interwoven with her reflections on the backstory, which slowly provides the reader with the context of her physical circumstances, how she ended up trapped on the island afraid for her life, while also contextualising her psychology. We’re drip-fed information and simultaneously told a ripping yarn. So far this is great stuff. So far, there have been a few sections written from the perspective of a New York missing persons police investigator who feels, as he approaches imminent retirement, that he can’t let go of a particularly mysterious case. But, as yet, there’s no apparent link between this case and the circumstances of the main protagonist. We just sense that there must be a connection… The main character is believable and she is the only fleshed out character in the first section of the book. Although other characters who are important in her life are well described in her thoughts, the focus is entirely upon her in the first half. This exclusive focus on her thoughts and actions places us firmly in the intense headspace of a lonely woman’s struggle for survival. Rebecca is both believable and empathetic. My only grouch at this point is that a few of her actions are surprising. She is surviving on her wits and demonstrates some hard headedness. However when she finds a speedboat she succeeds in launching it before provisioning it or even checking it’s fuelled and functional and then allows her only realistic means of escape from the island to drift off overnight because she hasn’t teathered it securely. This doesn’t fit in with her other practical behaviours. There’s also the issue of changing the wheel on her vehicle, because she finds an old tyre that matches. There’s no explanation of how she got this replacement tyre onto the wheel. A matching tyre just becomes synonymous with a replacement wheel in the narrative, as though the writer hasn’t realised there’s a difference, because there’s no explanation of how she got this tyre onto her wheel and inflated it. These may seem minor practicalities, but, because they are significant for her survival effort, they matter to the reader. One makes her uncharacteristically stupid, the other just makes no sense in the practical description. However, I shall read on. I hope the police investigator’s perspective is as exciting. Later on the story gets more implausible. I’ve read further now. She’s had months to plan her bid for freedom. She’s trained for the moment. She has her attacker within her power and she fails to act. A second blow of the wrench and she could neutralise the threat and pick up his weapon to defend herself against the second man. She fails to do either. She leaves the first man capable of getting back up and leaves his gun on the floor next to him. These are omissions of such total stupidity that I lost interest in her as a character at this point and stopped listening. Also she forgets that the tyre on the jeep was slashed and so leaves a big clue for her pursuers, because she replaced it with a new one. The reader anticipates this and it makes little sense that a smart character fails to do the same. I think most of her stupid mistakes are simply clumsy contrivances by the author to ratchet up the jeopardy. But in the process we loose sympathy for the character of Rebeka. At this point I wanted the author to just put her out of her misery and have the villain shoot her. As, with four whole hours left of the recording, he wasn’t about to do this, I had to do it for him and free myself from this miserable experience and do something more rewarding. Of course, macho heroes like Jack Reacher are equally implausible. But they at least have the advantage of being the hero we all wish we could be. So although he achieves absurdities, we at least get the feeling that he’ll give it his best when it matters. But the happy medium for me has been the Rory Clements books, and his hero Tom Wilde. These contain a sufficient amount of realism in character and plot, have the interest of being of a 1930s-1940s historical setting and have a main character who is sympathetic, developing, has real personal struggles, often fails, often succeeds because others save him, but in the end he’s not an idiot. It’s really hard to sustain interest in an idiot. So the book gets its two rating because it grabbed me from the outset and I respect this. And the mystery itself is intriguing, if implausible. But that’s it. The failure of the author to engage intelligently with the practical issues that challenge the survival of our protagonist is annoying. The failure of the character to do so at key moments is not only deeply frustrating but erodes our tolerance for her as a character. And without our investment in Rebekah’s character, there’s nothing to make us want to read on to find the answer to the mystery.

  I have read all of JG's books...I have enjoyed most and have always liked the characters and storytelling style BUT, I really was disappointed in the exchange. The characters, especially the McDeeres, are unremarkeable, unlikeable, and a lot of the dialogue is cliche, banal, and/or irrelevant. The story is terribly boring, DOA, and did I say Boring & cliche. Worst is the label of this book as a "sequel" to the Firm which was a deliciously interesting read.

  I am 17 chapters into this book and it might be the weakest yet. Avoiding any decent size spoilers: A couple of major questions around basic common sense of what officials would do (or not in this case) to protect a group of people being slowly killed off, one by one. Then the ridiculous scene where one person defeats 4 agents one by one in a room. That person is unarmed, each agent is disabled in turn and they are armed. They know this person has killed a number of people for sure. Dreadful scripting, so very far from the clever days before Andrew Child got involved. I shall stick with it to the end, but just because it is already purchased. I hope it gets better, but no matter the coming plot twists, this is such a poor start to the story. This is probably the end for me. I have not enjoyed any of these joint venture books.
