For Gaia's number one fan, it is the chance to cement their relationship. Michael Quartey attended the much renowned Anna Scher theatre school. He has worked across tv and theatre credits include: What a disappointment! It's hard to believe that Peter James even wrote this book.

The Roy Grace series book in order

Right before megastar Gaia travels to England for a big movie role, her look-alike assistant is murdered outside Gaia's gate. Once she's in England the police are assigned to protect her, which should be normally a formality, but it seems that someone IS out to kill her.

He starts 2017 portraying Peter James multi-selling series of books, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace on a UK tour, then films in the summer for ITV. That wasn't the only problem for me. The relationship between some of the characters didn't ring true. It felt as though Grace had lost his zing. There were touches of it but the attitude toward his protege Glen felt very weak and the one with Cleo too cloying.

But if you think you know the wonderfully rustic Pavilion, think again, because the book takes us into secret passageways, basements, a tunnel, and even the interior of the building’s central onion dome, which are rarely seen by the public.

Paul and Jamie are delighted to be working with the company for The Perfect Murder once again, as associate producers and tour bookers. I love the Roy Grace series by Peter James, but I really am so disappointed by the choice of narrator in this case. I have listened to all the books in this series, maybe the none of the other narrators were available (I have only now realised that there has been more than one - bravo to the previous ones who have done such a good job keeping it consistent for the listener!) but the new voices completely change the character of individuals who we have grown to love. A major career turning point came along when the role of loveable rogue Alfie Moon was created especially for Shane in EastEnders. Millard, Rachel (22 September 2015).

Still, it’s a Peter James Roy Grace novel, and so even though it’s my least favourite so far, it’s still pretty good. I mean, it’s well-written and well-researched, as each of his novels always are, but I wasn’t feeling this one anywhere near as much as his others. Perhaps it’s because I’d only just read another one, so maybe I’m getting Roy Grace fatigue – although I doubt it. I persevered as usually with this type of format the second half is exciting as it all comes together. However I felt completely let down. One character central from the start was just thrown away, completely wasted storyline, the man storyline was predictable and as for 2 of the other subplots they were very poorly given one paragraph to conclude in what can only be described as a damp squib of a conclusion.

One of the main problems that I had here was with the characters, largely because I felt like they weren’t acting how they normally would. This happened with both Roy Grace and with Glen Branson, who both acted kind of unnaturally. I was also occasionally thrown out of my state of suspended disbelief at the whole ‘Gaia‘ thing, a major character who’s basically an international singer, actress and superstar. I’ve been concerned by this issue in a few other books of late and I’ve been trying to avoid it in my own writing. It just feels weird to have fictional celebrities and real celebrities intermingling.
