Summary
Detective Superintendent Roy Grace thinks he's found a serial killer, but not everything is as it seems in Not Dead Enough, by award winning crime author Peter James.
A beautiful socialite is dead. Roy Grace’s leading suspect, her husband, was sixty miles away when she died, but all other evidence points to him. Has someone stolen his identity or is he simply a very clever liar?
Grace’s investigation and his budding new relationship are derailed after a reported sighting of his wife, Sandy, who has been missing for nine years. Grace desperately tries to cast light on the truth in both cases as his emotional turmoil – and the body count – grows...
Although the Roy Grace novels can be listened to in any order, Not Dead Enough is the third thrilling title in the bestselling series. Enjoy more of the Brighton detective’s investigations with Dead Man's Footsteps and Dead Tomorrow.
Now a major ITV series, Grace, starring John Simm.

Not Dead Enough
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, as you are constantly trying to piece the plot together until the very end.
The narrator was excellent.

Not Dead Enough but Good Enough!
A quality series continues with a book that has many of the hallmarks of the previous two but also manages to show a different character of plot and mystery to the previous two. It has the same hard edge as the previous books but this is a clever mystery with the twisted plot slowly unraveling and then seeming to question itself before the final reveal.
It's once again very nicely done, the ongoing character stories develop making it best read in order, though the books stand well enough alone I am sure.
Three books in and I can only say that this series is well worth investing in.

Good story with some surprises
A long book, but it didn't flag, even though I guessed early on what the solution would be it didn't matter as I was just as interested in the description of how the police and forensic service gradually put together the necessary concrete evidence. The tying together of the various threads of the mystery was neater than most.
The book's characters have what now seems to be a prerequisite requirement of fictional detectives: personal marital problems, a lot of heavy drinking and smoking; and a female boss who's a bit of a bitch.
I felt that the book was slightly tilted to appeal more to men with rather a lot of female characters who were gorgeous blondes, and/or were eager for sex even after a long day at work!

Fantastic
Took a flyer at this after an email from Audible suggesting trying some new authors. The feedback from others seemed good (thanks!) and now I agree the rave reviews are totally justified.
Excellent plot that keeps you guessing all the way. Whether it was the author/writing or both I am usure; but the detail brought this book vividly to life in my mind all the way through. I can still picture the scenes and characters.
Am downloading another Peter James right now !

Very dated
I have to confess that I gave up on this. With phrases like 'she wasn't beautiful in a conventional way, but was very sexy, ' 'she was dangerously horny,' and 'she couldn't understand which petrol to use because it was written in 'bloke',' this feels incredibly dated. The plot was intriguing but the characters were so two dimensional, with such a clichéd heterosexual male gaze, that I packed it in.

Entertaining
Having read this author before and enjoyed the characters I sort of knew what to expect and I wasn't disappointed. Enjoyed both the story and the narration and had to keep listening to it at every opportunity to get to the end. Recommendable

Terrific
This is the third 'Roy Grace' book that I have read now, although I had to read the paperback version of book two because audible do not have the unabridged version. Initially I thought that this volume was a little bit on the slow side, but I needn't have worried; the pace soon picked up. As with the previous two stories, after the half way point I was unable to stop listening until I had reached the end. Peter James has the ability to lead you by the nose through the world that he's created. What a time thief! Can't wait to download story number four.

Not as good as the last, but still worth while!
The change from the "brilliant" book 2 to the "not so good" book 3 is mainly as a result of changing the narrator.
I do think this narrator, David Bauckham needs some getting used to. Hopefully, I'll find out in the next book.
However, if you're like me and tend to visualise the characters based upon the narrators impression, you constantly end up picturing Rick Mayal in Bottom. No matter how much you try to avoid it, his head ends up on my character.
Eventually, I managed to get past it, but it took a while.
The story is about two former students who flat share in London and spend their time trying to find "birds" and get "sloshed". Hold on... sorry, that was "Bottom."
This story is about a murder taking place and all the evidence pointing in one direction. Can Grace get to the bottom of it, or is it maybe a little too simple?
I did enjoy the book, and, narrator aside, I'm determined to finish this series. don't get me wrong, I have heard much worse.
on to the next...
