Not Dead Enough (Roy Grace)

Product Information

Bill is probably best known for his work on two of the UK’s leading Soaps. He recently finished 3 years on Emmerdale, playing the well meaning but pretty hopeless farmer James Barton (Ross, Pete and Finn’s Dad) for over 300 episodes. Previously, he played the really rather nasty builder Charlie Stubbs in Coronation Street, also for 3 years and 300 episodes, and for which he won a number of awards. At this point, the experienced crime fiction reader will spot a few plot flaws (which aren't resolved), and even readers new to the genre will not have too much difficulty figuring what is going on very early on in the book (the final twist is easy to guess, and isn't much of a twist). Nevertheless, having set up the plot, Peter James wisely switches most of the rest of the book to the police detectives involved in the case, and tells the story from their perspective. We discover more about Grace and his developing relationship with mortuary assistant Cleo, which is abruptly derailed by a reported sighting of Grace's wife, missing for nine years. Glenn Branson has marital problems so moves in with Grace, but is a slob; the repellently amusing Norman Potting has a welcome cameo, having apparently acquired a Thai bride over the Internet since the last book. The uneasy relationship of the police with the media and the public is woven into these stories and those of other police colleagues and investigations.

On the night Brian Bishop murdered his wife, he was sixty miles away, asleep in bed at the time. At least, that’s the way it looks to Detective Superintendent Roy Grace who is called in to investigate the kinky slaying of beautiful young Brighton socialite, Katie Bishop. Soon, Grace starts coming to the conclusion that Bishop has performed the apparently impossible feat of being in two places at once. Has someone stolen his identity, or is he simply a very clever liar? As Grace digs deeper behind the facade of the Bishops’ outwardly respectable lives, it starts to become clear that all is not at all as it first seemed. And then he digs just a little too far, and suddenly the fragile stability of his own troubled, private world is facing destruction. ..
