The move and the Channel Island air have obviously given him back his creative mojo because this is the best Roy Grace book for several years. I really like this author's writing style, precise, holds you from beginning to end, and still leaves you guessing a little. The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused. And of course, filming is also due to begin later this year on the second series of ITV's small screen adaptation Grace, with three new 120 minute films based on Peter's novels Not Dead Enough, Dead Man’s Footsteps and Dead Tomorrow. Enjoy more of the Brighton detective’s investigations with Dead Simple, Looking Good Dead and Not Dead Enough.

Detective Superintendent Roy Grace investigates the case of a missing woman in Brighton in the 17th novel in Peter James’s bestselling series. Biography: Peter James is a UK number one bestselling author, best known for writing crime and thriller novels, and the creator of the much-loved Detective Superintendent Roy Grace, now a major ITV series. One major character leaves (spoiler alert it’s not the simpering Cleo) and another could well be on the way out (spoiler alert it’s still not the simpering Cleo).This is a used book - there is no escaping the fact it has been read by someone else and it will show signs of wear and previous use. And on the personal front there is a punch in the gut moment part way through that has left me not being able to decide whether it’s a genius bit of drama or a dirty great cop-out!
