Review: Nice Start to the Grace Series of Mysteries
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 9, 2012
A friend of mine loves Peter James and I read this based upon her recommendation. This book is the first in the Roy Grace series.Michael Harrison, a wealthy property developer, is treated to a night on the town for his stag party by his 4 friends. It turns into a prank to get even with him for some of the pranks he has pulled on them in the past. Harrison gets buried alive in a coffin and is fighting for his life as those 4 friends are killed in a highway accident that very night.Det. Superintendent Roy Grace eventually is pulled into the case and leads the search for the missing groom-to-be. Grace is suspicious of the fiance and his best friend, Mark, right away and feels that something is not quite right about their grief.There is a surprising twist to the story about midway that will have you turning pages to see what happens next. The book is overly long though and I feel it could have used a skillful editor, but it is a nice entry in a new series.
