Το "Φάμπιαν" δεν είναι αστυνομικό μυθιστόρημα, αλλά ένα συμπαθητικό και καλογραμμένο υπερφυσικό θρίλερ, που θα έλεγα όμως ότι ακολουθεί μια κλασική συνταγή και δεν ξεφεύγει πολύ από την πεπατημένη.

In Looking Good Dead, published in 2006, Tom Bryce finds an apparently lost cd and decides to try to return it to its owner. But when his mission to return the cd leads to him witnessing a ghastly homicide, his family is threatened if he decides to go to the police. Meanwhile, Roy Grace is still haunted by his missing wife. It’s been nearly ten years since she disappeared.However, he has written a few more standalones in recent years and these are a great option to determine if you enjoy James’s writing without committing to a full series. Possession follows Alex, a mother whose son Fabian has recently died in tragic circumstances, and wants to help her son's spirit move over to the other side, as he seems to be trapped between life and death. From the very beginning, this gave me goose bumps, as the author set the errie scene perfectly for the reader. It is made obvious that things with Fabian are a little "odd," and as the story unfolds, the secrets that he had been keeping from his mother are revealed, even after his death. This book totally freaked me out, meaning I had to stop and start to compose myself more than once, taking what is relatively a short book, a while for me to complete. In particular, the descriptive scenes of the exorcism and senones were especially gruelling. Honorary Doctorate by the University of Brighton for his ongoing contributionto the arts and to the status, infrastructure and culture of Brighton and Hove in 2009 This read took me out of my comfort zone for more than one reason. I am not a huge fan of this genre, I am very easily scared when it comes to ghosts and the paranormal, but wanted to expand my reading material. I have reviewed this on a non-bias basis, taking these factors into consideration. This is a spooky wee book, Alex's friend is bizarre to say the least and adds to the spooky feel of the book. The mediums in the book only add to the spooky feel & the more Alexs pursues the more she realises she didn't really know her son at all.
