(The author has claimed that he was, in any case, always essentially a crime writer - even in the days of his earlier acclaim).<p><i>Not Dead Enough</i> marks another welcome appearance for the author's quirkily characterised policeman Roy Grace (who we've already met in <i>Dead Simple</i> and <i>Looking Good Dead</i>). Here, Grace is investigating the bizarre slaying of a member of Brighton's social elite, Katie Bishop. Her husband, Brian, appears to be in the clear - he was in another town at the time, sound asleep. But Grace begins to suspect the presence of a doppelgänger: is someone else -- nigh-identical to Bishop - involved? As in his previous cases, Grace's diligent exhuming of murky secrets soon demonstrates that the Bishops' outwardly settled lives had darker corners. And as Grace gets close to the truth, he finds - paradoxically - that it's his own beleaguered private life which is on the line.<p>. With <i>Not Dead Enough</i>, we're soon reminded that Peter James' métier has long been machine-tooled plotting, and that particular skill doesn't desert him here. James himself spends time with the police of the Brighton area (his own beat) and that research is seamlessly freighted into the narrative here.<p> Readers are confronted with a dizzying variety of tales of murder and deception these days, but this one has an individual strand that marks it out from the crowd. --<I>Barry Forshaw</I> 975076 1 6 2007 Not Dead Enough total:77|5:1|4:2|3:1|2:1|1:0| 77 304 105 12 989583 1405092033 9781405092036 61 8 3.95 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180033215m/989583.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/989583.Not_Dead_Enough 0 0 false Fri Oct 02 09:50:40 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 02 09:50:40 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2422781 1845797051 9781845797058 1 1 3.95 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2422781.Not_Dead_Enough_Signed_Edition 4 0 false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Jan 09 08:56:38 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 09 08:58:10 -0800 2008 James, Peter – 3rd in series
