"I thought it was two men who committed crime, as each MO is different, and it was (too much watching Midsomer Murders, CSI, NCIS, Castle, and The Mentalist, aye?). With Yac is still free, how Peter James is going to get him back in his next books? Well, I still am going to read his books more!" — Arfi (5 out of 5 stars)

" I have read Peter James Inspector Roy Grace novels,about 4 of his books and I am captivated by the English Police investigation in the twisted and thrilling murders and storyline. Can't wait for his next book Perfect Murders. "
" I shall look at shoes in a whole different way now! "
" Did not realize that this was the 6th installment of the series, but now knowing , I plan on returning to "Dead Simple" and hopefully enjoying the first 5 as much as I did this one. "
" Yuck. This was tedious and unpleasant. I almost bailed. Serial killer mystery. "
" Bizarre murders by a man dubbed "The Shoe Man" because he seems to be attracted to women who buy very expensive, very high-heeled shoes. Also, these crimes have many characteristics of unsolved murders 13 years ago. "
" An engrossing mystery with some sad undertones James does a terrific job with a similar plot used in the past by others . "
" Really liked this book. Good story riveting right to the end. Will definitely have to read more Peter James. "
" Finally a traditional British detective story :) Liked it even though the first half is difficult to remember all personages included in two timelines. Sometimes too many details of police work but really a good read. Recommend it. "
" Pretty good Brit procedural. Part of a series I didn't know existed (Roy Grace) Worth finding the others. "
" Entertaining, good book by Peter James in the Roy Grace series. I didn't quite like the multiple "doers" idea but it was a good read "
" Sixth in the Roy Grace series featuring a serial rapist and shoe fetishist. "
" Sixth in the Roy Grace series from a brilliant writer who keeps you wanting to know what happens next then delivers brilliantly. "
" Difficult to read at first but VERY well worth the effort! Excellent! "
" Good solid thriller. Doesn't grip like some though. "
" Pretty good for a detective whodunit. I'll probably read other books about Detective Roy Grace. And I like that the books are based in Brighton. "
" Cleverly plotted, but the writing is abysmal on a sentence by sentence basis "
" 3.5 stars...English police procedural; can Det. Superintendent Roy Grace stop the serial killer, "Shoe Man," before he strikes again? "
" Great read. You're hooked from the very beginning. Different twist on serial killer thrillers. Loved it! "
" I couldn't finish this book, altho it was good and kept me reading. The violence was just too graphic and disturbing to continue. "
" A cold case from the late '90s comes back to life with the return of the shoe man. Great story well told "
" The book was not as well written and served the suspects on a platter but it did keep me reading. I liked how it switched back and forth from the past crimes to the present crimes. "
" Airport churn-a-lot that tries more with format than yr usual potboiler. So why's the editing so bad? Stray words at the end of sentences, dialogue out of sequence, titles dancing around. Drove my sub-sense crazy. it "
" Pretty good British detective who-done-it. A serial rapist is chased, but is it just one suspect? Good mystery, several possible suspects, keeps you guessing. "
" The mystery aspects of the book were great. But I found the rape discriptions disturbing. This is a great book if you like that type of realism. I don't. "
