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!

Incredibly laborious introduction
If you want a detective novel that's like a slow cooker to get into then this is your book. Without giving the game away, it's a Roy Grace novel which means Roy Grace is the central character in working out the puzzle. However 3 hours in, and Roy Grace hardly even knows there is a puzzle to solve! This is so dragged out that I won't bother with any more in the series, although I will continue with this.
I've recently finished the Anthony Horowitz 'Hawthorn' series, and it is so far ahead in terms of story telling and keeping the listener engaged that I would highly recommend anyone thinking about this book, to forget it and head directly to 'The Word is Murder'.
