Not Dead Enough (Roy Grace)

Product Information

On the night Brian Bishop murdered his wife, he was sixty miles away, asleep in bed. At least that’s what he claims. But as Detective Superintendent Roy Grace continues to deal with the mysterious disappearance of his own wife, he starts to dig a little deeper into the chilling murder case and it soon becomes clear that love can be a dangerous thing… Stephen is best known in the UK as bad boy Greg Kelly in Coronation Street, for which he won the British Soap Award for Villain of the Year, and as Danny Lomax in Hollyoaks.

NOT DEAD ENOUGH is an all-nighter of a book – there was no way I was going to bed until I’d finished it! I thought I was one step ahead of the police and kept shouting advice to them as the book progressed. OK, so I wasn’t far off the mark, but James has one good twist up his sleeve.

Soon, Grace starts coming to the conclusion that Bishop has performed the apparently impossible feat of being in two places at once. Has someone stolen his identity, or is he simply a very clever liar?

And then he digs just a little too far, and suddenly the fragile stability of his own troubled, private world is facing destruction. ..
