Media Reviews
...the story catches one up in it for the duration and author has been a documentary editor and film maker himself, making the background authoritative. A thriller that really does thrill. -- Jessica Mann LITERARY REVIEW There's a convincing plot here, full of twists and turns. -- Mark Timlin THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY A conspiracy thriller I can happily recommend to fans of Robert Goddard. -- Mat Coward MORNING STAR Peter Grimsdale can tell a convincing story with writing that is cliche-free and utterly enthralling. THE GUARDIAN This intelligently written first novel keeps the reader guessing throughout. A good combination mystery/thriller. DEADLY PLEASURES Peter Grimsdale, a former TV journalist and executive, makes his impressive debut as a novelist with Perfect Night. A thrillingly good read that certainly doesn't come across like a first novel. Given Grimsdale's TV past the details about Nick's past on a World in Action or This Week style investigative show certainly ring true. He throws in more than enough twists and turns to keep you well hooked. A fast paced story of Robert Goddard-esque proportions. MEMORABLE TV.COM
