I managed to get access to Peter James’s latest through Netgalley a couple of months ago, but have been a little late in writing up my review. Luckily for me, both mum and daughter had a full set of Grace novels so I was able to spend a few weeks slowly working my way through his entire story. This unexpected rummage through their cast offs brought both Elly Griffiths and Roy Grace to my notice.
She’d noticed I had a substantial library of my own when she popped round to introduce herself. So, she asked me over for a cup of tea and to look through their boxes of duplicate books.
When she moved in across the road from me with her English teacher daughter, they both had an extensive library. It was lovely to be back in the world of Roy Grace, a character I was introduced to by a lovely new neighbour nearly ten years ago. But beneath the veneer, he rapidly finds that greed, deception and violence walk hand-in-hand. Outwardly it appears respectable, gentlemanly, above reproach. They are looking good dead.Looking Good Dead is the second bestselling title in the Detective Superintendent Roy Grace series from number one author Peter James.Detective Superintendent Roy Grace finds himself plunged into an unfamiliar and rarefied world of fine art. You can log on and see them on a website. Notice of Kellie and Tom's deaths has already been posted on the internet. And from that moment the killing of the Bryce family becomes a mere formality - and a grisly attraction. But supported by his wife, Kellie, he bravely makes a statement to the murder enquiry team headed by Detective Superintendent Roy Grace, a man with demons of his own to contend with. Then his young family are threatened with their lives if he goes to the police. 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.

Part of the multi-million-copy series featuring the definitive Brighton detective, Roy Grace. Looking Good Dead is the second book by number one bestselling crime and thriller writer Peter James.
