About this eBook
*Now with a brand new introduction from the multimillion-copy bestselling author Peter James*
Perfect People is a compelling and thought-provoking thriller from bestselling author 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, when they find out they are both carriers of a rogue gene, they realize the odds of their next child contracting the same disease are very high.
Then they hear about geneticist Doctor Leo Dettore. He has methods that can spare them the heartache of ever losing another child to any disease – even if his methods cost more than they can afford. But surely a healthy child is worth all the money in the world?
His clinic is where their nightmare begins.
They should have realized that something was wrong when they saw the list. Choices of eye colour, hair, sporting ability. They can literally design their child. Is this what they really wanted? Now it’s too late to turn back. Naomi is pregnant and already she knows something is very wrong . . .

Loved the book. The way Peter James kept reeling in the reader throughout the chapters was brilliant. A really creative way of writing. So much suspense and so many cliffhangers, made this book impossible to put down. Can't wait to read more from him :)

Agree with others, slow to start with but I suppose that builds up the realism. Some really good plot twists that I just didn't see coming. Overall, a really good read
