Synopsis

Tom Bryce did what any decent person would do. But within hours of picking up the CD that had been left behind on the train seat next him, and attempting to return it to its owner, he is the sole witness to a vicious murder. Then his young family are threatened with their lives if he goes to the police. But supported by his wife, Kellie, he bravely makes a statement, to the murder enquiry team headed by Detective Superintendent Roy Grace, a man with demons of his own - including his missing wife - to contend with. And from that moment, the killing of the Bryce family becomes a mere formality - and a grisly attraction. Kellie and Tom's deaths have already been posted on the internet. You can log on and see them on a website. They are looking good dead. Acclaim for "Dead Simple": 'Destined for the bestsellers' - :Independent on Sunday". 'A terrific tale of greed, seduction and betrayal' - "Daily Telegraph

Review

This is another story set in and around Brighton but has a different twist where a person is abducted and then turned up in a cornfield - headless and so the hunt is on for the perpetrators.

Then another girl and a couple go missing over a period of a few days and thats when DS Grace gets told someone will be joining his team; not someone he wants within his team or taking over his team. But as usual there is another twist in the story, and we then find that there is more to the computor analysis centre in the police station, but you need to read it to find out what happens.

The charactors and the plot are not what I expected but they are well thought out by the author.   This is a great second book look forward to the next in the series, who is going to disappear or get murdered in this one?
