Suspense

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. ( )

Not quite as good as the first in the series, too try-hard. ( )

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.
