Summary

Detective Superintendent Roy Grace has to solve a disturbing murder whilst protecting an innocent eye witness in Looking Good Dead by award winning crime author Peter James, read by Daniel Weyman.

When a young woman’s body is found butchered in Brighton, Roy Grace cannot help but think of his own missing wife and her unsolved fate.

Elsewhere in the city, when Tom Bryce finds a disc left on a train, he simply tries to do the right thing – return it to its owner. But this attempted act of kindness makes him the sole witness to that same vicious murder.

Learning that Tom has made a statement to Grace’s team, the killers have to act. But when they plan the murder of the Bryce family, it’s not just revenge – it’s entertainment.

Although the Roy Grace novels can be listened to in any order, Looking Good Dead is the second gripping title in the bestselling series. Enjoy more of the Brighton detective’s investigations with Not Dead Enough and Dead Man's Footsteps.

Now a major ITV series, Grace, adapted for television by screenwriter Russell Lewis and starring John Simm.

Exciting, brilliant, terrifying.

Loved the wonderful narration bringing it all to life. Amazing story yet again. Peter James is a magician with words.

Captivating story and brilliant narration

I love the characters, the story as it unfolds keeps getting better and better. Narration is excellent. Looking forward to Book 3!

Excellent!!

Read both books in quick succession and was totally riveted throughout. Really strong story, scary and quite graphic but sits well within the plot - really awful villains, great cops (with just the right amount of flaws that we don’t dwell on endlessly), lots of character content and just an all out brilliant ‘read’.
The narrator is super and adds definition and character to each voice - consistent and strong. Really made for a gripping book.
Really looking forward to the next one!

I’m sorry I had to skip forward

It was a very familiar storyline, maybe it’s been adapted for TV. I couldn’t stand the accents so skipped forward to get the ending. :(
