LOOKING GOOD DEAD

Detective Superintendent Roy Grace of Brighton, England, is a wonderful addition to the mystery scene. In this second Grace novel, Tom Bryce finds a CD on his train ride home and takes it, hoping to trace the owner. However, after he views its contents, a snuff film, he and his family find themselves in mortal danger. Narrator David Thorpe expertly recreates Tom's love for his family and his terror at his situation. He does realistic voices for Tom's family and delivers clear details and description. When Tom's wife is kidnapped, terror mounts. An additional treat is the interview with author James, who comments on his experience of hearing his own book on audio.
