Definately a good read. Peter James knows how to write a good novel that entices you in and keeps you gripped. I like the Roy Grace character and wonder how his character will develop over the books. I did find the ending quite over the top, which made it slightly less believable and it think that it could have been done differently. But ultimately a very good book if you like this genre of writing. ( )

“Dead Tomorrow”, the 5th in the series about Chief Superintendent Roy Grace of the Brighton CID, is – at well over 500 pages – Peter James most convoluted novel yet.

Roy Grace has moved on from his decade long search for wife Sandy and wants to marry his pregnant girlfriend Cleo: he is over his head in a case involving black market organ harvesting, people trafficking, and cynically manipulative and misleading salesmanship.

Lynn Beckett, desperate to save her daughter Caitlin, doomed without an immediate liver transplant, buys a black market organ, not realizing a Romanian street child will be murdered for it. Moral assumptions are questioned in this bleak but well-written thriller. ( )

Another story set in and around Brighton featuring Superintendent Roy Grace. This like the other I read has a complex plot, although one twist involving an enigmatic character I was able to predict. I found the violence overly graphic and would hope there aren't too many of the type of violent characters portrayed, on the loose in Brighton...The plot revolves around a CD someone finds on a train and decides to look at in order to try to identify the owner - of course a big mistake which brings all kinds of horror into his and his family's lives.

An excellent book about a criminal gang making 'snuff movies'. Good interaction between characters which are developing niceley. There are some shocking details of the harm people do to each other and the pace increases the further into the book you read. I like the main character DS Roy Grace and his friend Glenn Branson who together bring some humour to the novel. ( )

The discovery of a headless female corpse is the beginning of the search for merciless killers in this second procedural featuring Detective Superintendent Roy Grace (following Dead Simple). The author is very good at showing how many investigators get involved and how many leads must be tracked down in order to solve such a heinous crime. Detective Superintendent Grace, meanwhile, continues to deal with his own emotional turmoil following the unexplained and unsolved disappearance of his wife Sandy some nine years before. As he and his team work feverishly to find the killers, he also takes the first hesitant steps to allow someone new into his private life. Well-written and worth reading. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0786716428, Paperback)

Tom Bryce did what any decent person would do. But within hours of picking up the CD that had been left behind on the train seat next to him, and attempting to return it to its owner, he is the sole witness to a vicious murder. Then his young family are threatened with their lives if he goes to the police. But supported by his wife, Kellie, he bravely makes a statemenet to the murder enquiry team headed by Detective Superintendent Roy Grace, a man with demons of his own to contend with. And from that moment, the killing of the Bryce family becomes a mere formality — and a grisly attraction. Kellie and Tom's deaths have already been posted on the internet; you can log on and see them on a website. They are looking good dead.
