Review: Dead Simple by Peter James - What Is That Book About

There is something to be mined here about how personal desperation can evolve into professional upheaval. Grace’s wife, it is revealed, also disappeared seemingly into the mist on his 40th birthday, and he must now contend with a perpetual series of What Ifs: What if she’s dead? What if she’s alive? What if she chose to leave? What if she didn’t? In turn, the bombastic lunacy of “Dead Simple” can be seen as a manifestation of the character’s worst case scenario free-floating anxieties. What if, in the hideous world of endless possibilities and no answers, his wife was somehow buried in a coffin and left to die in the woods? Lccn 2006271517 Ocr_converted abbyy-to-hocr 1.1.20 Ocr_module_version 0.0.17 Openlibrary OL8141500M Openlibrary_edition The author is famous for his fast-paced and gripping stories that thrust regular people into extraordinary situations.The stunning first novel in a gripping new mystery series, Dead Simple marks the triumphant return of one of Britain’s most ingenious crime writers. The plot was amazing. Well written, unpredictable with a plot that kept you guessing on a ride that you didn’t want to get off. You can tell the level of detail and precision in the crime aspect of the book being well researched give it an authenticity that felt real. I’m not going to compare this book to any other because this novel deserves its own praise however I will say that this author just earned in a spot on my top ten suspense author list. This book absolutely gets my recommendation. Not even his case, Detective Roy Grace, haunted by the disappearance of his wife years ago, finds himself trying to put the pieces together. One of those pieces, Mark Warren, best man to Michael, who if it wasn’t for a trip would’ve been dead also, is acting very peculiar and considering him not knowing anything about the prank makes it hard to believe that someone so close doesn’t know anything. Upon working deeper in the case, things are just not adding up. Was it a accident or foul play, this one prank set in motion a series of events that leads the reader down a gripping, suspenseful narrative that is unpredictable and satisfies the thirst of a great suspense plot.

First of all, Dead Simple was published in 2005, followed by Looking Good Dead in 2006, Not Dead Enough in 2007, and Dead Man’s Footsteps in 2008. For fans of James’ work — and there are many, all of whom apparently like things that are Grade A bonkers — these episodes of “Grace” will be the fulfillment of a long-awaited adaptation. Finally, more than two decades since the first introduction of Roy Grace, readers can see a series about the beloved character. For the rest of us, it remains a big what if: What if this character, with this trauma, could be placed in a story that was more deftly told? That would be something worth watching. Grade: C+ Peter James has written 17 Roy Grace books so far – and they all have the word ‘dead’ in the title. He says: “It’s a seemingly straightforward missing person inquiry which twists off into territory awash with nightmare fuel.Author Peter James created the tenacious detective and has published many novels following his fictional investigations.
