About This Edition ISBN:I have read all of the Roy Grace series of books and am delighted it is now a television drama as well.

I've read and enjoyed all of James' previous books. Either he is getting tired and just phoning them in, or the publisher has resorted to a ghost writer to keep the series churning. I first noticed this phenomenon many years ago when a "Wilbur Smith" book was so bad it could not possibly have been written by him. One collector is certain it is genuine. Someone who uses any method he can to get want he wants and will stop at nothing. How do the actions of a forger completely turn the story on its head and what is the secret of gay millionaire Stuart Piper?

But beneath the veneer, he rapidly finds that greed, deception and violence walk hand-in-hand. And Harry and Freya Kipling are about to discover that their dream is turning into their worst nightmare. . .As always in Peter James’s books, the subject matter is meticulously researched and the plots very cleverly woven together. As well as the familiar cast, there are new characters who are wonderfully constructed and vividly portrayed. The new TV series has modified my image of Grace and the others but in a good way making the reading more easy to picture in ones mind. Jump right into the world of unscrupulous art dealings in this the latest in the latest offering in the Roy Grace series. It will not disappoint. The Murder of an art dealer in 2015 links neatly into the current scene of wheeling and dealing to extract as much money as possible from art fanatics wishing to procure masterpieces. Caught up in this are the Kiplings who bought a painting because they liked its frame only to discover that under its uninspiring overpainting lay a possible rare painting . Peter James has done that in this book – I learned a lot about paint and paintings I did not know before. Plus I learned what the Daddy Long Legs railway was – I will use that in one of my own future books. Discover the darkness that lurks around every corner in the latest instalment of Peter James’s award-winning detective series, which is now a major BritBox series starring John Simm as Roy Grace.
