This is the first of a 15 books long list of bestsellers featuring DS Roy Grace, who solves murder cases in and around Brighton. James is a very economic writer, too, as all these books conveniently have “death” in their title.

 In “Death Simple” a young man is mock buried by his friends on his stag night and James elaborately describes his slow death and the slow investigations by Grace to find out about it.

And it is about as much as I can take, so I must leave Peter James be.
