About this deal

Roy now has two sons Bruno and Noah, meanwhile a murder of a woman has taken place but is it murder? Von "Luft raus" kann hier überhaupt nicht die Rede sein - zumal die Reihe mit diesem Buch noch lange nicht zu Ende ist. ABOUT THIS BOOK: Lorna Belling, desperate to escape the marriage from hell, falls for the charms of another man who promises her the earth.

I have a confession, Peter James in one of my favourite authors so I am always excited at the thought of reading one of his novels. Si es así, espero que dé más jugo que la anterior, pues ha sido un personaje con mucho más ruido que nueces. I am so pleased to have followed the advice of a Peter James fan and read a novel from the Roy Grace series.This book could have been about 120 pages shorter if it wasn't for all, the extraneous procedural stuff and chapter after chapter of family stuff. There appears to be some animosity between himself and one of his superior officers, which I’m sure has an interesting backstory, but the one feature that does stand out in this book is his absolute concern for his co-workers. At the same time Roy has to organise the funeral for his former estranged wife, Sandy and bring their 10 year old son (that Grace only recently learned about) to a new life in England and integrate him into his new family.

I think that the next book will hopefully explore this element of Roy's life in greater detail as I feel like this is potentially a great contribution to revving up the series. A pretty cool character that has seen his fair share of the worst of people in his career and at times personal life. Roy buries Sandy his late ex-wife, and at her funeral her parents come at him with a spiteful revelation. I'm a huge fan of Peter James and have also read a few of his 'non-Roy Grace' books (he has written horror/thrillers as stand-alone) and they are also brilliant so keep your eyes peeled for this author.

The latest in the Roy Grace series, this adventure sees him and his team hunting the killer of a woman whose body is found in a bath. Also, representative of the series, you should have read previous ones to fully enjoy (and not suffer spoilers of previous books needed to explain the current one). The mounting evidence of ever more and ever worse skulduggery will pull Tempe deeper and deeper down what even she sees as a rabbit hole before she confronts a ringleader implicated in “Drugs. James strikes a good balance between the professional and personal sides of Roy Grace's life, each enhancing the other. Cassandra Dewell can’t leave Montana’s Lewis and Clark County fast enough for her new job as chief investigator for Jon Kirkbride, sheriff of Bakken County.

Peter James also highlights in Need You Dead the problems families have when one of them are members of Law enforcement.
