Absolute Proof

Product Information

Therefore, even though this is a complete diversion for James, I thought I would give this book a chance. All the hallmarks of James writing is present in this title, the short snappy chapters that make you want to read just one more plus Brighton featuring heavily again (I was looking out for a Grace Easter Egg - but didn't spot anything). Even though the majority of it is all about action and the oddities of religion, there’s also a bunch of other stuff along with great characterisation and an ensemble cast where no one is safe. And the irony is that science is asking questions that only religion can answer, but to accept those answers would mean admitting defeat for the scientists. Born again evangelist Wesley Wenceslas has built a multi-million dollar business around his style of religion, preaching all over the world.

It was kind of interesting to pick this up as an atheist and to ask myself a lot of those questions. I had trouble getting my head around the many characters, plus some of the decisions Ross made (accepting his wife’s infidelity with little comment; the concerns about his unborn child and whether it was his or not) stretched my imagination and caused much eye rolling.The only quotes from Religious texts we get are from the King James' version of the New Testament and only then from Matthew and Revelation.

Absolute Proof by Peter James - Fantastic Fiction

Got hooked after reading Dead Like You,then went back to read previous books and now waiting to read the latest.Plus I tend to get interrupted a lot during the day so having to stop what I am listening to is sometimes harder than just putting a bookmark in. The handcuffed skeleton of a man is discovered locked in the boot of a car, and DI Siobhan Clarke is on the case. This latest entry shows how wise Rankin was to bring his curmudgeonly copper back from retirement after the mixed response to his books featuring Malcolm Fox of the Police Standards Bureau, excellent though they were. SO the concept is brilliant, based on a real event in Peter's life - a man contacts a reported and assures him that he has absolute proof of the existence of God!
