Kitap maksimum 3 yıldız. Ama o kadar üstünkörü yazılmış ve basılmış ki 2 yıldız bile çok. "Yarın Biri Ölecek"ten sonra okuduğum Peter James'in iki kitabı. Daha da okuyacağımı sanmıyorum. kitapta tüm yanlış kullanılan noktalama işaretleri ve yazım hataları için Artemis Yayınları'na yazıklar olsun. Cleo kimi zaman Cloe, kimi zaman Cole. Operasyona değil durmadan Pperasyona gidiyorlar. Yanlış yazılanlar klavyede hep bir harf yanı. Belli ki aceleyle yazılmış ve okunmadan basılmış.

Not: "Yarın Biri Ölecek" Roy Grace serisinin 5. kitabı, "Senin Gibi Ölü" de 6. kitabı. Çakal yayıncılar büyük ihtimal insanlar "ben ilk 5 kitabı okumadım o yüzden bundan başlamayayım" demesin diye kaçıncı kitap olduğunu yazmıyor o yüzden bu tarz 2. sınıf polisiye romanları okumadan önce Goodreads'e bir bakmak faydalı. Özetle hayatımdan giden bir 660 sayfa daha... Peter James is a global bestselling author, best known for writing crime and thriller novels, and the creator of the much-loved Detective Superintendent Roy Grace. With a total of 16 Sunday Times No. 1s under his belt, he has achieved global book sales of over 20 million copies to date and has been translated into 37 languages. In 1997, Brighton was on the hunt for a serial, stranger rapist. The perpetrator was never caught but the rapes suddenly stopped. Twelve years later, stranger rapes are happening again. The common thread is shoes; the victims all share a love for expensive, designer shoes which are used in their rape and taken from them. DS Roy Grace leads the team hunting down “The Shoe Man,” while awaiting the birth of his first child and still trying to solve the disappearance ten years ago of his first wife, Sandy. Characters/Character Development: There were a lot of characters. This would be natural for a major police investigation. We are told who they are and, perhaps, their attribute or failing, but we never get to know most of them. The majority of characters are one-dimensional. Even Grace; aside from repeated reminders of how much in love he is with his new wife, we see very little depth to his character. For all of Grace’s declarations of love for Cleo, women are not well treated by the author. None of them, including Cleo, are very interesting or intellectually appealing as characters although one of the victims was wonderfully gutsy. For the suspects, however, we are shown what has caused them to be as they are; I did find that a strong point of the book. It is not an easy thing for an author to turn a suspect of a vile and violent crime into a somewhat sympathetic character. What has happened to Peter James? I very much liked his first four books but suddenly, with his last book, found myself skimming through it, being bored. I had so hoped this sixth entry would return me to the author I originally enjoyed. It didn’t.After reading a substantial number of fantasy and Sci-Fi novels this year, I thought it was about time for a thriller, so I decided to turn Peter James for some entertainment. Whilst I enjoyed Dead Like You, I found it to be one of the darkest of James’ novels yet, with some incredibly creepy antagonists. Some loose ends which lure us into the next in the series. This one was not so good as the previous entries.

None of the victims, bar the last one, have any particular personality traits beyond liking shoes. Of all the women in the book, only Cleo is not terrible, complaining bitch. And even her personality seems to primarily be "not the ex." Metropole, Μπράιτον. Ύστερα από ένα πρωτοχρονιάτικο πάρτι, μια γυναίκα ζει έναν βάναυσο βιασμό καθώς επιστρέφει στο δωμάτιό της. Μια εβδομάδα αργότερα, μια άλλη γυναίκα δέχεται επίθεση. Ο δράστης παίρνει τα παπούτσια και των δύο θυμάτων. Ο αστυνομικός διευθυντής Ρόι Γκρέις συνειδητοποιεί ότι αυτές οι νέες υποθέσεις έχουν πολλές ομοιότητες με μια ανεξιχνίαστη σειρά εγκλημάτων που είχε συγκλονίσει την πόλη πριν από πολλά χρόνια. Ο τότε δράστης είχε ονομαστεί «Παπουτσάς» και ήταν ύποπτος για τον βιασμό πέντε γυναικών προτού δολοφονήσει το έκτο θύμα του και εξαφανιστεί. Τον αντιγράφει κάποιος ή ο «Παπουτσάς» επέστρεψε; Όταν περισσότερες γυναίκες δέχονται επίθεση, ο Γκρέις πιστεύει ότι έχουν να κάνουν με τον ίδιο άντρα. Και ότι ανατρέχοντας στο παρελθόν –μια εποχή που εκείνος και η εξαφανισμένη πλέον σύζυγός του , η Σάντι, ζούσαν ευτυχισμένοι μαζί– ίσως θα μπορέσει να βρει το κλειδί για να λύσει το μυστήριο. Σύντομα ο Γκρέις και η ομάδα του θα βρεθούν σε έναν απελπισμένο αγώνα ενάντια στον χρόνο για να εντοπίσουν και να σώσουν τη ζωή του νέου έ��του θύματος…" (Περίληψη οπισθοφύλλου) Plot/Flow/Quality of Writing/Originality: Considering stranger rape is very rare in itself, the odds of more than one man with the same fetish operating at the same time are incredibly low. While it did add to the suspense and made for an interesting ending, it also raised the implausibility level to a point which diminished the plot. A device I’m seeing more frequently is that of dual time periods. There is a time when that works. In this case, I felt it more bloated the story to the point where I nearly stopped reading. It’s enough to read about numerous rapes during one time period; doubling that number became repetitive rather than suspenseful. The same is true of the secondary story line regarding the disappeared first wife. It doesn’t go anywhere or enhance the story in any way. Rather, it’s the massive imperfection on someone’s face at which you can’t help but look but it serves no purpose. The chapters are short, the time changes frequently as does the point of view, all of which leads to a choppy, fragmented read with no flow.

[1] Personal life [ edit ] What an episode this is! From the very opening scenes you get that ominous sense that something dark is about to happen. With two separate events happening at the hotel on the same night, we are swiftly introduced to a number of key suspects in what turns out to be a serious sexual assault. Amongst them are a number of serving police officers, the key one of which is Grace’s new boss, ACC Cassian Pewe, portrayed in excellently smug and affected style by Sam Hoare. He and Grace have history and this new investigation in which Pewe becomes one of the prime suspects will not help calm the waters.

When unsolved crimes resurface, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace faces a possible copycat killing in Dead Like You, by award winning crime author Peter James. Dagger in the Library UK Crime Writers' Association award for an author's body of work in British libraries (UK) [10] shortlisted Originality: This is a story which has been told before. There was no real originality to the plot, but there were some interesting bits. I did appreciate the good detail of procedural investigation and the handling of rape victims and appreciated Grace’s awareness of the impact of rape on its victims.Millard, Rachel (22 September 2015). "Crime writer's wedding bash goes off with a big bang". The Argus . Retrieved 20 May 2021. Yes there is some forward development of the character, but compared to the other books in the series it seems that DS Grace and the rest of his team are secondary characters this time around with what felt like much less than a quarter of the story given over to them and their detection of the case. Maybe Peter James was struggling this time with where to take Grace etc. Maybe his publisher edited it down to a more manageable length. Who knows. Either way it didn't feel like a DS Grace novel, more like a spin off in which he and his team had a cameo role. Think CSI: Miami with a character from one of the other franchises popping up. When it comes to thriller series', it can sometimes seem like once you've read three - you've read them all. You start to question how different they can get, how much more can an author concoct into their characters lives, with a faint worry of becoming bored. On my sixth instalment in the Roy Grace series, and it's safe to say - I am far from bored!
