Absolute Proof, his standalone novel from 2018 actually began many years ago, in 1989, when an older man, Harry Nixon, called in on the phone and told him that he has been given proof of God’s existence, and Peter James was the person to bring this to light. For his 30-years of research for the story, Peter James not only spoke with religious leaders about proof of God’s existence but he even went as far as living for five days as a monk at theMount Athos monastery in Greece, where women are banned from entering the place.

My Halloween choice for this year turned out to be a poor one indeed. Peter James, who is bewilderingly compared to writers such as Michael Crichton and Stephen King, seems to have kept his place in mainstream popularity. In fact, I wouldn't say this is entirely undeserved either. He can generally spin a good thriller - nothing amazing, but usually decent. I enjoyed Alchemist and Denial, and even Host would have been higher in my esteem if it just wasn't so tiresomely long. This though, his third novel, was perplexingly bad. Leaving aside the hollow characters, the cliched scares and sloppy structure, the whole thing is just a lazy retread of Blatty's The Exorcist, religious contemplations and all, only without an ounce of that novel's greatness.

Possession – Peter James

A fun little mystery horror/thriller. I think this would make a great beach read as it's easy to get through and has a pretty fast pace that'll keep you hooked throughout. Thankfully got me out of my reading slump. Only downside was that it was a little predictable and I could work out the ending about 2/3 of the way in. One morning, driving to work, he almost runs down a female jogger crossing the road. Marcus cannot take his eyes off her. She is identical to a girl he was infatuated with in his teens. A girl he has never forgotten. The first season, which premiered in 2021, was made based on the author’s first book in the series, Dead Simple.

But something, or rather someone, is missing… When actress Gloria Lamark takes her own life, her devoted son, Thomas, is heart-broken. Something must be wrong with a world in which such a tragedy is allowed to happen.
