Picture You Dead: Roy Grace returns to solve a nerve-shattering case (Roy Grace, 18)

Product Information

His novella, ‘ The Perfect Murder,’ went to No 1 on iBooks and has spent 40 consecutive weeks in the iBooks Top 10.

Grace has dealt with numerous criminal subjects over the years while mourning the disappearance of his first wife Sandy, mentoring Glenn Branson, battling Cassian Pewe, putting up with the un-PC Norman Potting of whom he is secretly very fond and falling in love with mortuary assistant Cleo Morey and starting a family with her. And Harry and Freya Kipling are about to discover that their dream is turning into their worst nightmare.

Born and brought up in Brighton, Peter divides his time between his homes in Notting Hill, London and on the South Downs near Lewes in Sussex. Caught up in this are the Kiplings who bought a painting because they liked its frame only to discover that under its uninspiring overpainting lay a possible rare painting . We’d probably never think about the crooks and criminals who’d also like to get their hands on the money!

Whilst it can be read as a standalone book, I would recommend reading the others in the series as well. Picture You Dead is another great read and the characters feel like I know them having been brought to life on the small screen.Cleverly plotted with numerous twists and turns we delve into the world of fine art, an area Roy Grace knows little about to discover the deception and greed of those who paint and collect the art. Discover the darkness that lurks around every corner in the latest instalment of Peter James’s award-winning detective series, which is now a major ITV programme starring John Simm as Roy Grace. Peter James has done that in this book – I learned a lot about paint and paintings I did not know before. Detective Superintendent Roy Grace finds himself plunged into an unfamiliar and rarefied world of fine art.
