James thanks his “amazing editor” but surely an editor amazing or otherwise would know you can’t microwave tin foil, understand the meaning of enormity, not demote Detective Inspector Glenn Branson to a Detective Sergeant towards the end of the book (sloppy) and not misspell my name – twice (deliberate or sloppy?) But normally I would be going out with police on a regular basis for my research, and I've really missed that aspect of it.

In a nutshell, it’s a did he/didn’t he set-up, but James, one of the best storytellers around, keeps the clever plot motoring.

Left You Dead Review

At it again. Another splendid read. It’s a shame that I have to wait another year until the next one. Meanwhile, there’s the usual sideshows that we associate with a James novel – his private life with wife Cleo and strange young son Bruno, problems for his loyal supporting cast of hard-working cops, and the malign presence of ACC Cassian Pewe looming over it all. Gone without a trace, Niall is arrested on suspicion of her murder. When DS Roy Grace is called in to investigate, it doesn't take long to realize that nothing is quite as it seems - and this might be his most mysterious case yet . . . Peter James is a UK number one bestselling author, best known for writing crime and thriller novels, and the creator of the much-loved Detective Superintendent Roy Grace, now a major ITV series. Globally, his books have been translated into thirty-seven languages and have sold 21 million copies.Following its world premiere this summer, a stage play of Looking Good Dead, starring Adam Woodyatt in the lead role, is set for a run at Brighton's Theatre Royal in October.
