A beautiful socialite is dead. Roy Grace’s leading suspect, her husband, was sixty miles away when she died, but all other evidence points to him. Has someone stolen his identity or is he simply a very clever liar? Grace’s investigation, and his budding new relationship, are derailed after a reported sighting of his wife, Sandy, who has been missing for nine years. Grace desperately tries to cast light on the truth in both cases as his emotional turmoil – and the body count – grows...

Thoughts

The third outing for DSI Grace and his team, and the characters are really starting to develop. Lots of personal lives start creeping into this story, not least an update on Grace’s missing wife. Meanwhile there’s a good mystery going on, it’s always a little bit disappointing when the answer is ‘it was twins!’ but this one is told pretty well and unwinds at a good pace. A bit of danger at the end, and everything is resolved in time to move on to book four!
