This is the second in the Roy Grace series and, for me, a lot better than the first. There are lots of twists and turns which make it a gritty, tense read. Peter James’ books are easy to read and difficult to put down. ( ) Detective Superintendent Roy Grace of Brighton Police is investigating the murder of a young woman, there is no head though, there is an exoctic Scarab Beetle inserted in her body. Meanwhile a young Father called Ben on his commute back from London finds a CD on the train he views it on his laptop its the young headless lady being murdered. The sick people who filmed this are now coming for Ben and his wife Kelle and children. Ben is scared to go to the Police but then when the Baddies take his wife they get involved. The Baddies also get Ben. They are running an international Snuff movie paid for subscription business and want to use Ben and Kelle in next video. DCI Grace and his team are on the hunt and manage to save the day. OK easy to read book, some likeable believable characters. Cuando Tom Bryce encuentra un CD que alguien ha olvidado en el asiento contiguo del tren en el que viaja, hace lo que cualquier persona decente haría: lo recoge y, cuando llega a casa, intenta averiguar a quién pertenece para poder devolvérselo. Sin embargo, su buena fe topará con el escalofriante contenido del disco: un estremecedor asesinato. A partir de ese momento, su vida y la de su familia comienzan a correr peligro; solo el peculiar detective Roy Grace, especialista en casos sin resolver y conocedor de técnicas "poco ortodoxas" de adivinación, parece capaz de ayudarles. This took up almost immediately after the first book in the series ended. I'm not sure it's necessary to read the first one, but it adds to the enjoyment, in my opinion. This book had one of the most unlikable characters I can remember, although I might be forgiven if I've forgotten any worse ones - and I hope to forget about this one, too. This villain was grossly overweight but acted like he was God's gift to women and society as a whole. Considering he has no respect for life and will kill anyone he feels like, a lot of people are smart enough not to disagree. He has some fine upstanding hobbies - mainly, child porn, snuff films, etc. What's not to like? I like the main character, Roy Grace, and most of the other non-villainous characters. The only thing I'm not too crazy about is the supernatural aspect - Roy Grace goes to consult with a medium to help solve the crimes, something that got him into trouble in the first book. I personally don't believe in this sort of thing - although to be fair, Roy Grace isn't a firm believer either. But I like to read books where the solution is believable, not some magic out of the mind of a medium. It's OK in fantasy books where magic and the supernatural are a big part of the story, but this is not one of those cases. However, the books have been good enough to overcome this nit, and are very addicting if you don't mind this one thing. I plan to read more soon. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"Cher Monsieur Bryce, Hier soir, vous avez accédé à un site que vous n'étiez pas autorisé à visiter. Vous avez de nouveau essayé d'y accéder ce soir. Si vous parlez à la police de ce que vous avez vu, ce qui va arriver à votre ordinateur arrivera à votre femme, à votre fils, et à votre fille. Vos amis de Scarab Productions". S'il avait eu le moindre soupçon de l'effet dévastateur qu'un CD, trouvé sur la banquette d'un train de banlieue, allait avoir sur sa vie, Tom Bryce l'aurait sans doute laissé là où il était...
