Thank you to the publishers for the review copy! I've never read Peter James before so I can't compare it to any of his previous novels. But I can say that I loved it! It certainly kept me hooked into the plot and the characters. Very happy to recommend this on to others!

Another great book from the pen of peter james, his work is just wonderful and is an excellent read. I recommend this book to any fans of crime books and fans of peter james

A great stand alone novel from Peter James. This is the first Peter James book I have read outside of the Roy Grace series. I thought the story started off quite slowly but then it moved along nicely at a steady pace. A real page turner which I would highly recommend.

Ross Hunter, an investigative journalist is contacted by a man who says he has proof of the existence of God. So begins a fast paced and intriguing thriller. Good characterisation and the plot builds nicely, the story poses many ethical questions but doesn't set out to preach. An intricate and well plotted read with many threads that eventually combine to give an exciting climax.

When freelance journalist Ross Hunter receives a phone call from a man who claims to have absolute proof of God, his world is turned upside-down. Who can he trust on his quest for the truth? Absolute Proof is very reminiscent of early Dan Brown books, chapters flick through character perspectives and different plot lines before converging together to create the final story. This is by no means a bad thing - the book is long but enjoyable and easy to read. It has a fairly formulaic plot; three sets of coordinates need to be found and there is a few evil corporations and religions thwarting Ross’ progress. I thought for the first two sets of coordinates the story was well paced but then the third set and last part of the book did drag a little at times. I did think a few parts of the story were a little unrealistic – there were some very silly mistakes being made throughout (who leaves a priceless manuscript with no copy in a café?). The handling of artifacts (and destroying them, in some cases) also made me cringe at times and Ross does seem to have very convenient connections in his industry that he can call on at opportune moments. You do have to suspend your disbelief at the spiritual side towards the end and also to the idea of mediums and psychics as well. In general, there are some plot points that perhaps work best if you don’t think about them too hard! I thought the ending was quite well done though and I enjoyed the various characters we are introduced to throughout. Overall I enjoyed Absolute Proof, it’s an engaging read with an interesting plot. Thank you to NetGalley and Pan Macmillan for a copy of the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
