Have just finished Perfect People - Loved it even if I did work out the plot about 3/4 of the way through the book. When the police and the inspector came into the story I kept expecting Roy Grace to appear though.
The first 7 chapters of Not Dead Yet are in the back of Perfect People must admit I read them before I statred Perfect People. Waiting for it to come out in paperback as all the other books I have in the Roy Grace series are in paperback.
My favourite Roy Grace stories - so far - are Dead Mans Footsteps and Dead Tomorrow.
I absolutely loved Perfect People and didn't mind it veering into a bit of sci-fi. It was fun, entertaining, and kept my attention throughout (which is a rare thing with books!). I haven't read any of his other books
Just (finally) finished Not Dead Yet and must say I really enjoyed it, a much better read than Dead Man's grip, although I had worked out some of what was going on. This would make an excellent drama series, and the Sandy stuff..:eek:
I read all of the series one after the other except Dead Man's Grip. I also read Perfect People too but much prefer the Roy Grace series....just brilliant and highly addictive.
I agree with the poster that said this would make an excellent drama series.
I read #1 and #2 in the series a few years ago but started Not Dead Enough and then couldn't get into it. My city centre library reopened last week after a 3 year refurb and all their books are brand new, so I took out Not Dead Enough and the rest of the series and I'm just over halfway through #3, I can't put it down and can't wait to reach the end.
They are incredibly long reads though :eek: Grace is a fantastic character, I'm just not a fan of the name.. reminds me of an old man's name!
^ And it is absolutely FANTASTIC. I got it for £3.95 on Kindle but the price appears to have doubled now! I am devastated to have finished it, I have spent the past two weeks with Roy Grace and have no idea what to read next.
I bought "Not Dead Yet" a few months back when it was a Kindle special offer. I'm just wondering whether this is a series where the books can be read out of order, or do I need to read them in sequence?

^^ I agree too. It started off as a brilliantly tantalising subplot but it's really gone too far now! I think an explosive climax is long overdue - hopefully PJ has deliberately saved it for Roy Grace number 10 (hint hint )
Just reading Dead Man's Time and really enjoying it, glad the Sandy storyline is being discussed. I read the odd one or two and then went back to the start of the series and was up to book 6, when I saw Dead man's time in my local library and thought I have to read that and get up to speed!
Everything seems to happen in quite a short space of time doesn't it? I'm sure I was reading book 4 or 5 with Glenn living in Roy's house and he's still there in the current book, but he says it's been a few months?
Hi! Just recently discovered Peter James (loving his work!) and I am on Book 2. The Sandy thing is already driving me crazy. Could someone PM me to let me know what we know about Sandy so far up to Book 9? I have bought the series but cannot wait to read through it all to find out! lol With 3 small kids it is taking me ages to finish each book!

I didn't realise there was a new RG book out!
Is there lots of Sandy stuff in it?
When is the next one out !!!!
I agree -time to bring it out into the open
Looking forward to reading it,
And as for Sandy

Its still a bit pricey on Amazon and while I want to read it I really hope it finishes off the Sandy plot as it has gone on far too long
I didn't know there was a new one out...
Off to Amazon to check it out!
