His Roy Grace series is fab but some of his stand alone novels are phenomenal. ‘The House on Cold Hill’ and ‘Sweet Heart’ are two of my favourite standalone Peter James books ?

All excellent, the standalone books that are exceptional, in my opinion are Host, Alchemist, Twilight, The Truth, Faith and A twist of the knife (collection of short stories). All others are brilliant, but these stand out to me. RF series best read in order start with Dead Simple.
