Description Concering Books Looking Good Dead (Roy Grace #2)
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.

I dont easily get creeped out by books these days. Not any more. Not since Stephen Kings It permanently damaged me as a child, when I was reading it under the bedcovers late at night, torch in one jittery hand, twice frightened that my mother would catch me in the forbidden act of reading that author with evil in his head.Did you know, momma, what was in mine?So its been a while that I got the willies from a book, which makes me very glad that I picked up a copy of Peter Jamess Looking Good DeadThe front door of the once-proud terraced house opened, and a long-legged young woman, in a short silk dress that seemed to both cling and float at the same time, stepped out into the fine June sunshine on the last morning of her life.Not for the faint-hearted yet for all those yucky moments, an eye-scorching read with the lead characters coming along nicely.
Eighth book of my holiday reads. This is the second book in the series and can easily be read as a stand alone. I loved the theme of the dark web in this book. A poor unsuspecting bloke picking up a CD of which I could never have imagined what he ends up watching. Down to not just handing it in like any good citizen would do, he puts himself and his family under threat. I love the bit of romance going on in Graces personal life as well as his working relationship with his colleagues that at
A disappointing second novel in the Roy Grace series. Tom Bryce is your average Joe commuter. On one typical afternoon coming home from work, the person beside him leaves behind a CD. Unable to catch up with the owner, he takes it home and inserts the CD into his computer. Tom is shocked to see a murder taking place on his computer. Tom and his family are now being threatened by the murderers who made the CD. Can Roy Grace catch them before Tom and his family get killed?I loved the first book in

Quite a good book and I enjoyed reading it. I came across an interview with Peter James in The Hindu and that was what led me to this series. I was expecting though, that the Inspector Grace books would become a must read for me, like Colin Dexter's books starring Inspector Morse. Perhaps an unfair expectation....The story revolves around a couple who get caught up in an unsavoury snuff video operation run by a group of killers. A bit unreal at times, it felt to me, but who am I to say that?
Terrific review, Melanie!
