These books are dead good - Peter James's Roy Grace series

I like to read. Every day.

One series of British detective fiction I must bring to your attention is PETER JAMES's "DEAD" novels featuring DSI Roy Grace.

So far there have been six:
Dead Simple, Looking Good Dead, Not Dead Enough, Dead Man's Footsteps, Dead Tomorrow, Dead Like You.

Set in and around the Brighton area on the south coast of England, these books are compulsive reading. Once started, you really can hardly put them down. You simply have to know what's going to happen on the next page.

James had several novels published prior to the Roy Grace series, but he has really found his mark with these.

Personally, I can't wait for Roy Grace to join DCI Banks (author Peter Robinson, on ITV) and Thorne (Mark Billingham, on Sky One) on TV in the near future.

Or perhaps they're reserving Grace for the Big Screen. Oh yes.

Grab yourself a "Dead" novel athe first opprtunity. You won't regret it.
