When a young woman’s body is found butchered in Brighton, Roy Grace cannot help but think of his own missing wife and her unsolved fate. Elsewhere in the city, when Tom Bryce finds a disc left on a train, he simply tries to do the right thing – return it to its owner.

But when they plan the murder of the Bryce family, it’s not just revenge – it’s entertainment.

Thoughts

I loved the first Grace book so was keen to read the second. It took me a while to get back into it, but I was soon back on board. A great mystery to unravel, whilst Grace continues to deal with the disappearance of his wife and trying to move on. He has a new relationship on the cards, and still dabbles in the supernatural world as well, reconciling that with his more factual day job. A really good read and keen to move on to the next!
