Early on, it looked like that thread was going to outstay its welcome by quite some way, but James has balanced it judiciously in later books, and matters look like coming to a head soon.I’m on the fence on my thoughts about this because in the context of what had happened, I expected it to go one way but it went another. His series featuring Detective Superintendent Roy Grace have sold over 14 million copies world wide.

Peter James is a number one bestselling author of crime and thriller novels and the creator of the much loved Detective Superintendent Roy Grace. This will be the sixth stage adaptation of James' novels -making it the most successful crime thriller stage franchise since Agatha Christie. Synonymous with plot-twisting page-turners, Peter has garnered an army of loyal fans throughout his storytelling career - which also included stints writing for TV and producing films. However, she is being pursued by another equally venomous creature, nicknamed Tooth, who achieves a form of sexual euphoria by torturing his victims before dispatching them. Threatened with death if he should talk, Bryce’s wife talks him into making a statement to the team headed by Superintendent Roy Grace.Reading Peter James’ books is a bit like watching the TV show Midsomer Murders – you end up feeling Brighton is a major crime hotspot with a high murder rate.
