I`ll strangle Mr.James November 19, 2008
Absolutely the best book in the series of Roy Grace. He just goes from strength to strength in his "dead" books. That last sentence though grrr, hands up who feels like strangling him! Possibly the best, "straight to the jugular" ending of any book I have read.I have no doubt the next in series will beat all previous sales figures by miles.Personally I loved the way he flitted from N.Y to the UK, was very cleverly done. Great stuff.
GREAT STUFF November 10, 2008
YOU READ ABOUT 9/11 IN THIS ONE AND WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE THERE, DON'T WORRY THE STORY IS ALSO SET IN BRIGHTON AND IT GETS REALLY GOOD. THE NEXT BOOK IN THIS SERIES IT NOT OUT TILL JUNE 09 CANT WAIT.
Excellent October 26, 2008
As someone who struggles to keep his eyes open long enough at the end of the evening to read more than a few sentences, I read this book in weeks!
A real page turner, with a few twists and turns along the way - I should have seen them coming. Its also nice that its based in Brighton.
I havent bought a Peter James book before, but suspect I will now get through quite a few more..
 back on track September 6, 2008

After the previous Roy Grace novel ( not dead enough ) leaving me disappointed, this has put the series back on track. The story is well thought out and what a last line! I cant wait for the next novel
Dead Man's Footsteps August 19, 2008
The fourth and newest book in the Roy Grace series by Peter James introduces the reader first to Ronnie Wilson, a Brit visiting the US and New York City to try to enlist financial assistance for his latest money-making venture, one hopefully not doomed to failure as were his past endeavors. His business meeting, after which he plans to fly back to the UK, is scheduled for 9 AM in the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11, 2001.
We next, in October of 2007, meet Abby Dawson, a 27-year-old woman who has just returned from Australia to her native England, and whose background is somewhat shadowy, as we are told she has done everything she can think of to disguise her identity, describing herself as a `fugitive.'
And then Detective Superintendent Roy Grace of the Sussex Police enters the tale, when he is called in as Senior Investigating Officer after a skeleton, probably that of a woman of about 30 years old, is discovered in a storm drain within his community of the City of Brighton and Hove. Just a run-of-the-mill murder investigation, it would seem, until Roy realizes that the description perfectly fits that of his adored wife, Sandy, who had disappeared nine years before, at age 28 and on his 30th birthday, and had apparently `vanished off the face of the earth.'
The characters introduced in the earlier books are still here: Glenn Branson, still having marital problems; Grace's lover, Cleo, Chief Home Office pathologist, who has always been sympathetic to Grace's lingering and continuing search and nightmares concerning his wife; his boss, Assistant Chief Constable Alison Vosper; and his surprisingly fast-rising fellow D.S., Cassian Pewe, all of whom are made real in the author's terrific depictions of these disparate personalities.
As a resident of the metropolitan NY area, I can attest to the accuracy of the depiction of the feel of the city on that horrendous day and in its aftermath, and will not comment further on this aspect of the novel. The author expertly weaves together all the disparate threads in a suspense-filled tale with the surprises, twists and turns typical of this author, and a particularly stunning final sentence, leaving me avidly awaiting its sequel. Highly recommended.
