All his books are absolutely brilliant. Yes, read the ‘Dead’ series in order as there is a thread. The latest one is due out this month. Also a must read is ‘The House On Cold Hill’ – I’ve read it three times.
I read “Dead Man’s Footsteps” . . . pretty good tale . . . plus I like the setting, between Brighton and Wales . . .good read. No complaints. I believe I will find and read others of this author in time.
Start with Dead Simple and then the rest of the series in order, preferrably. But also: his work before the Roy Grace-series is very good too. Great author.
I used to live in shoreham by sea,which is mentioned in his 1st book ,I used to frequent Brighton,it makes his books more interesting when you can visualise the places he mentions in his books
I’m swimming against the tide here, but I have to admit that I don’t care about Roy Grace. I read the first two books, but I found the character one dimensional, his dialogue stilted. The plots are decent, but I didn’t believe in any of the characters. So, Roy’s wife has gone missing. I couldn’t care less. Peter James has clearly done well with this series, so I’m sure he and his fans won’t care about my opinion. I think it’s a good job we all have different tastes. Otherwise, the world would be pretty boring.
I am in a very fortunate position. I took Peter’s Roy Grace books as my Specialist Subject on Mastermind. In preparation for that, I contacted him, to see whether he could help my revision etc.
As a consequence, I feel honoured to say that he has become a friend. He is truly a generous, thoughtful, witty and considerate person. I count the day I sent him an e-mail, asking whether, if I did do the books on Mastermind, he and his publisher could help, one of the most blessed days of my life.
And his wife Lara is a lovely lady too.
The books are simply outstanding. Read them – you will be blown.away! Oh, and yes, best read in order, even though they stand alone.
I have just started reading crime books as I have always been a fan of war (Conflict in Afghanistan/Iraq) and my first book was a Peter James, brilliant, it’s because of him I’m now reading crime novels ??
Great series, you will love it!
Yes,yes,yes! Roy Grace series is modern police procedural at its absolute best!
