About this listen
Perfect People is a compelling and thought-provoking thriller from bestselling Peter James.
John and Naomi are grieving the death of their four-year-old son from a rare genetic disorder. They desperately want another child, but they realize the odds of their next child contracting the same disease are high.
Then they hear about geneticist Dr Leo Dettore. He has methods that can spare them the heartache of ever losing another child to any disease.
At his clinic is where their nightmare begins.
They should have realized something was wrong when they saw the list. Choices of eye colour, hair, sporting abilities. They can literally design their child. Now it's too late to turn back. Naomi is pregnant and already something is badly wrong . . .

Don't miss the Grace series from Peter James - Roy Grace is Her Majesty Queen Camilla’s favourite fictional detective, and the series is now a major ITV show starring John Simm.
'Peter James is one of the best crime writers in the business' – Karin Slaughter, author of the Will Trent series
'Peter James is one of the best British crime writers and therefore one of the best in the world' – Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher series
'One of the world’s most popular detective series' – The Guardian
My main criticisms of the book are as follows.
- I was left with too many unanswered questions by the end.
- Supporting characters appeared suddenly and disappeared just as quickly
- The conclusion of some plotlines fizzled out instead of reaching an explosive climax
- In some situations, the behaviour of John and Naomi seemed a bit out of character.
Despite this, the book kept me listening avidly until the end and I found the conclusion satisfying. This was the first book of Peter James that I listened to but unfortunately, it would not prompt me to rush into downloading some of his other work anytime soon.
Perfect People...not a perfect book.

Would you consider the audio edition of Perfect People to be better than the print version?
I never tried the printed version so I couldn't commentWhat other book might you compare Perfect People to, and why?
The girl on the train - very gripping - cliff hanger moments - end of some chapters make you gasp with shockWhich character – as performed by Clare Corbett – was your favourite?
The children - Luke & PhoebeWas there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The ending - I felt an anti-climax coming but the last 10 minutes of the book is heart fluttering and emotionalAny additional comments?
I loved this book. I find Clare the narrator really easy to follow as I first experienced her in the girl on the train. Brilliant story - I wouldn't say farfetched but definitely different. Heart pounding, cliff hanging and exciting.I loved this title! And the narrator is brilliant
