About this deal

Charlotte is delighted to be working again with Ian Talbot, Josh Andrews and Peter James on the World Premier of Not Dead Enough. She was in last years cast of Peter James’ The Perfect Murder and is thrilled to be touring with this new play. Other theatre credits include Doctor in the House (UK No. 1 tour); More Dead Girls (Theatre 503) and Ray Cooney’s farce, Caught in the Net (English Theatre of Hamburg). Charlotte has performed as an actor in two operas: Strauss’ Intermezzo (Garsington Opera House) and most notably Handel’s Rinaldo in 2011 and 2013 (Glyndebourne Opera House, UK tour and Royal Albert Hall proms). What a disappointment! It's hard to believe that Peter James even wrote this book. It's definitely not up to the standard of the other Inspector Grace novels.

The Roy Grace series book in order

Shortlist for Theakston's Crime Novel of the Year Award 2009". digyorkshire.com. 2 June 2009 . Retrieved 17 June 2009. That wasn't the only problem for me. The relationship between some of the characters didn't ring true. It felt as though Grace had lost his zing. There were touches of it but the attitude toward his protege Glen felt very weak and the one with Cleo too cloying. The villain, Smallbone, is introduced and we find he is plotting to burglarize the hotel suite of Gaia, the celebrity Grace is protecting, but nothing ever comes of it. It seems to add nothing to the story and I didn't get the feeling it was a foreshadowing of things to come in another book. Some of the characters, too, are real people that James has encountered during his researches. For some readers, it may be a little disconcerting to find the fictitious Grace discussing case notes with actual serving Police colleagues. But then James really knows his local officers because he regularly shadows the force to ensure his procedural detail is spot on. I really don't think William Gaminara is the worst narrator in the world. The problem is really that he is at his flattest when he renders Grace, Branson and Potting who should be huge characters but are made to sound near anonymous.

Laura Whitmore began her acting career at a young age with the Leinster School of Music and Drama in Dublin. She completed her Diploma in Performance at the School in 2008 with a special honour for her final performance, the same year she was chosen as the new face of MTV Europe. She won several awards previously for her acting whilst studying for her B.A. in Journalism, including the DCU Annual Drama Award for Best Actress for her performance as Lady Macbeth in Macbeth, and Best Comedic Performance for her performance as Maud in The Extraordinary Life and Death of Adam Ryan. Other theatre credits include Annie in All My Sons and Helene in Sweet Charity.

like Franco Zeffirelli (Callas Forever) and Peter Greenaway (The Tulse Luper Suitcases: From Sark to Finish). Towards the end, I felt like the summary of the novel was drawing out a little. Peter James usually summarises things in a few medium-length chapters, with some nods to future and past plots. However, there was one short, gripping chapter that made me gasp and keep reading - proving once again that Mr James sure knows how to keep me hooked. Oh Happy Day, Exorcismus, Enemy of England, Roswell Invasion, Still Waters, Lake Placid Vs Anaconda and Where Hands Touch. Though well known for his TV work, Bill is no stranger to the stage, and has worked on everything from Sophocles to The Spice Girls in London’s West End, Bristol Old Vic, Manchester Royal Exchange, Northern Stage, Clwyd Theatr Cymru, and The National Theatre Studio amongst others. Good aspects though: the storyline was a bit different this time, with more links to America where obviously Peter James spends a lot of time so it added a bit of variety in that respect. It was an interesting premise with the subject matter of actors, obsessive fan-stalkers and of course, Brighton and The Royal Pavilion’s history- which I found really fascinating. There were some pretty gruesome deaths too which left me wincing a bit- there’s no denying that James’ can write a pretty gory crime scene when he wants to! The writing as ever flows brilliantly, and though some of the storyline seemed a bit far-fetched in places I did still find it to be gripping with a few really good twists. I also liked the author’s nods to social networking and some real-life actors and actresses- it made it feel very ‘now’ and provided shreds of believability.Paul and Jamie are delighted to be working with the company for The Perfect Murder once again, as associate producers and tour bookers.
