Dead Man's Footsteps
Dead Man's Footsteps | Peter James
7 posts | 12 read | 3 to read
Dead Man's Footsteps, the fourth novel in Peter James' award-winning Detective Superintendent Roy Grace crime series, now available in eBook. "Abby stepped in the lift and the doors closed with a sound like a shovel smoothing gravel. She breathed in the smell of someone else's perfume, and lemon-scented cleaning fluid. The lift jerked upwards a few inches. And now, too late to change her mind and get out, with the metal walls pressing in around her, they lunged sharply downwards. Abby was about to realize she had just made the worst mistake of her life ..." Amid the tragic unfolding mayhem of the morning of 9/11, failed Brighton never-do-well Ronnie Wilson sees the chance of a lifetime, to disappear and reinvent himself in another country. Five years later the discovery of the skeletal remains of a woman's body in a storm drain in Brighton, leads Detective Superintendent Roy Grace on an enquiry spanning the globe, and into a desperate race against time to save the life of a woman being hunted down like an animal in the streets and alleys of Brighton.

This was a tough #SeriesRead2021. The storyline was great with multiple layers to the mystery BUT the early chapters were an emotional struggle for me. Contains very detailed, graphic depictions of lower Manhattan on 9/11. Ends on a cracker of a cliffhanger so I‘m sure I‘ll be picking up #5 sooner rather than later.

TheSpineView Great job! 👍📖📚 3y

Maybe it‘s me, but this just didn‘t warm my heart in any way. Did not hit home. I‘ve loved the first three in the series. I have a soft spot for Brighton which helps! A man fakes his death in the turmoil of 9/11. His wife gets compensation and insurance money. A few women are found dead. An older woman has been kidnapped. Roy and his team are hard on the case. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just picked up this book and I so want to read it. On my way to my friend‘s big bday party. Is it rude to read it there??? 🤣

Branwen I read at parties all the time! 😂 It's probably rude, but it's also the only way I can survive social situations! 😅 4y

This novel just makes your mind turn in every direction and keeps you guessing as to what is going to happen next, it is set into different perspectives and different times, nicely sectioned by chapters making it a lot easier to remember which character is being the narrator and also makes it easier if you need to put the book down (if you can) to get to end of the chapter and not be confused when you next pick up the book.

This is #4 in the Roy Grace series.I was a little concerned since it involved 9/11 , he caught the horror of it without disrespecting the heroes or the victims.His ability to weave threads of the story together is very good.Love getting to know the reoccurring players in Roy‘s world.

I‘m sure there are many that will enjoy this storytelling, but it wasn‘t really for me. The plot was a bit slow, and most of the twists could be seen coming. I didn‘t really engage with any of the characters, and the relationships between them were a bit superficial. Who buys a puppy without telling their partner? There was a bit of a cliffhanger at the end but it‘s not going to drag me back for another visit.
