Description

Peter James was educated at Charterhouse and then at film school. He lived in North America for a number of years working as a screen writer and film producer (his projects included the award winning Dead of the Night) before returning to England. His previous novels, including the number one bestseller Possession, have been translated into twenty-six languages. All his novels reflect his deep interest in medicine, science and the paranormal. He has recently produced several films, including The Merchant of Venice, starring Al Pacino, Jeremy Irons, and Joseph Fiennes and The Bridge of San Luis Rey, starring Robert DeNiro, Kathy Bates and Harvey Keitel. He also co-created the hit Channel 4 series Bedsitcom, which was nominated for a Rose d'Or. Peter James divides his time between his home in Notting Hill in London and Sussex.

Features & Highlights

  • 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.

Great murder mystery

MY REVIEW 📙📘📗📕
This is the second in this series (DS Roy Grace)and this one does not disappoint! I'm in the process of reading all of them in the order they were written. I told myself i was not going to start them till i had them all. But i could not wait any longer. It has took me several mounths to get the ones i have. (Peter James books are very hard to find in the States). I still need a few more and i am going to have to wait a long time before i can get them. But this book was well worth the wait. I loved , loved , loved this book ! The characters are well developed and interesting. Peter James is such an amazing writer. Looking Good Dead is Gripping from the first page right up until the last. I Could not put it down ! The plot is really good and the twists and turns keep you turning the pages as fast as you can. It just sucks you in and dont let you go. I could not turn the pages fast enough. Sometimes I find myself reading so fast and holding my breath. I love the setting of Brighton . Even though i have never been there he writes with so much detail i can picture what everything looks like. Needless to say I can't wait to read the third book. They are extremely well written and the more i read, the more i want! I would love to own every book Peter James writes in hardback. I am looking foward to making my collection grow. If you love murder mysteries you should try Peter James Roy Grace series.
