About this listen
Meet Detective Superintendent Roy Grace on his unforgettable first major case in Dead Simple, by award winning crime author Peter James.
It was meant to be a harmless stag-night prank. But a few hours later, the groom has disappeared and his friends are dead.
With only three days to the wedding, Roy Grace is contacted by the man’s distraught fiancée to unearth what happened on that fateful night.
The one man who ought to know of the groom’s whereabouts is saying nothing. But then he has a lot more to gain than anyone realizes, for one man’s disaster is another man’s fortune . . .
Although the Roy Grace novels can be listened to in any order, Dead Simple is the first thrilling title in the bestselling series. Enjoy more of the Brighton detective’s investigations with Looking Good Dead and Not Dead Enough.
Now a major ITV series, Grace, starring John Simm.

Enjoyable
Thoroughly enjoyable though thought the plot - like many - was a bit far fetched

Easy to follow
Some mysteries I keep having to rewind to remember plots, characters etc. This was clever, simple and exciting. Loved it. Now on to book 2!

A curate's egg!
The story was gripping but spoiled by gratuitous foul language and poor narration. Disappointing- are all his books like this?

Totally action
How the guy managed to keep his head while everything happened to him I don't know. Trying to find him while time is running out is excruciating. I had to listen in one sitting, I couldn't put it down!

Weak plot not helped by psychic interventions
Potentially a fascinating plot but ruined for me by the substitution of a psychic whenever the author couldn't work out the next bit of plot. Good crime fiction must have credibility but over reliance on this device undermined the whole thing. I'd need convincing to read any more of this series.
