Summary

Meet Detective Superintendent Roy Grace on his unforgettable first major case by award winning crime author Peter James, read by Daniel Weyman.

It was meant to be a harmless stag-night prank. But a few hours later, the groom has disappeared and his friends are dead.

With only three days to the wedding, Roy Grace is contacted by the man’s distraught fiancée to unearth what happened on that fateful night.

The one man who ought to know of the groom’s whereabouts is saying nothing. But then he has a lot more to gain than anyone realizes, for one man’s disaster is another man’s fortune...

Although the Roy Grace novels can be enjoyed in any order, Dead Simple is the first thrilling title in the bestselling series. Enjoy more of the Brighton detective’s investigations with Looking Good Dead and Not Dead Enough.

Enjoyable.

I started this series further along so it’s been fun to go back to the start & actually I’ve enjoyed this first book.
Daniel Weyman is an excellent narrator, very good at creating tension quietly.

Number One Bestseller?

No 1 bestseller? Doesn’t say much for the rest. One of those books which was like trudging through treacle to get to the end. Still, what does my opinion matter? I understand this story went on to be a TV crime drama. Oh well!
