A man waits at London Airport for Ingrid Ostermann, the love of his life, to arrive. Across the Atlantic, a retired NYPD cop waits in a bar in Florida’s Key West for his first date with the lady who is, without question, his soulmate. The two men are about to discover they’ve been scammed out of almost every penny they have—and that neither woman exists. Meanwhile, a wealthy divorcée plunges, in suspicious circumstances, from an apartment block in Munich. In the same week, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace is called to investigate the suicide of a woman in Brighton, that is clearly not what it seems. As his investigations continue, a handsome Brighton motivational speaker comes forward. He’d discovered his identity is being used to scam 11 different women, online. Roy Grace realizes he is looking at the tip of an iceberg. A global empire built on clever, cruel internet scams and the murder of anyone who threatens to expose them.

"In my thirty four years of policing, never have I come across a writer who so accurately depicts "The Job." —Detective Investigator Pat Lanigan, Office of the District Attorney, NYPD

5.0 out of 5 stars Peter James at the top of his game
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2019

I have changed my previous policy of giving light, recreational reading a maximum of 4 stars. (you may upgrade pre-2019, 4-star reviews to 5 stars retroactively.) Now all books are eligible for 5 stars. I really enjoyed this book. Good story, solid characters, great dialogue. Plot is advanced by nuance and dialogue rather than pure exposition. Narrative expertly draws the reader into the story, making it difficult to pause the reading. The villains are wicked without being perverted. They prey upon trusting people who fall in love on internet dating sites. I do not remember any disturbing sexual or violent scenes, and thought the language was realistic without being unnecessarily profane or obscene. Your tolerance may vary. I have enjoyed all of the books in this series, some more than others. This one is tops.

This book is good but not my favorite. It makes the internet a frightening place. This probably really is going on. There is no new invention man can't corrupt in some way, usually to be profitable

5.0 out of 5 stars Another satisfying mystery!
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2019
Verified Purchase
Peter James has again found an interesting criminal pursuit to explore. While most people know about identity theft and the negative complications it visits upon the victim, the Internet Romance fraud explored in this novel may be something new.

The story brings back Roy Grace’s team of varied police characters and his nemeses, including his boss and an international hit man who escaped thanks to Roy’s boss’ poor judgment. We learn more about Roy’s family, including his newly met son, Bruno, who is a conundrum to Roy and Cleo.

The mystery involves identifying the numerous tendrils of crime involved in the Internet fraud and exploring the devastating experiences had by the victims. We also learn of the causative backgrounds of some of those running the fraudulent schemes, touching on the terrible consequences of the violence so prevalent in today’s world.

The story has an understated but satisfying conclusion with promise of more Roy Grace stories to come.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little complicated
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2019
Verified Purchase
I look forward to each new Roy Grace novel and enjoyed this one too, but....there were so many characters that it got a little confusing at times and there were bits that made no sense. Johnny has lost everything in a scam, can’t pay his mortgage, but can pay for a last minute transAtlantic flight to accomplish something that could have been done via FaceTime. I am disturbed at how little attention is being paid to Bruno who obviously has serious problems. Grace keeps getting interrupted as he tries to deal with him, yet accepts a job that will add hours to his commute which dumps the problem of Bruno on Cleo. I’m also troubled by how peripheral a character Cleo is becoming. These are all fixable problems and I hope to see some of them resolved in the next installment.

Very good read! No page long descriptions of anything or anybody. We get to know the characters from the story and what we need to know about the scenery without fuss. Interesting and exciting from front to back.

Well up to Peter James' usual high standards of subject matter, plot and detailed research. Brighton is such an interesting and intriguing English holiday resort with some very famous really nasty historical episodes, and Peter manages to capture the atmosphere perfectly. Again.

I downloaded the book thinking it was James patterson. 🤦‍♂️. The first half of the book is so boring and sooo many characters. It’s even more confusing cause lot of names used are unisex. I just don’t like British author’s narrative. All of them seem to remake along aimlessly. The second half gets a bit better but compared to other books, can definitely skip this one. Took me 15 days to go through it forcefully.

Roy Grace wie immer in Höchstform - obwohl sein fieser Chef und Sohn Bruno nerven löst er den Fall wie immer. Spannender und gut zu lesender Krimi, auch für einen Deutsch-Muttersprachler. Erscheint ja schließlich eher in Englisch.
