Picture You Dead

The 18th case for Roy Grace is a successful mix of a cold case review and present investigations. It revolves around art theft, art dealers, eccentric collectors and gives a deep insight into the arts scene. The plot is developed well and believably and skillfully brought together. What I always like about Peter James is how the respective case and the superordinate private events of the investigators complement each other without the private taking up too much space. He is a master of his craft and the quality of the thrillers does not diminish even with the 18th case. You often learn about the characters' (family) history and other background information, which is why their thoughts and actions come across so believably. The police activities were well and thoroughly researched. Another very successful case for Roy Grace and his team, which you can easily read if you don't know the previous books.
