Another very fine outing for Grace and Co. This time we delve into the world of human trafficking, the difference with this novel, when compared to others of its ilk, is that the trafficking is specific to human organs rather than the usual drugs or sex trade. Peter James has clearly done an enormous amount of research into this despicable practice. A recently divorced mother is fighting for the survival of her very sick daughter and will go to extraordinary lengths to secure a liver for her. The costs are almost insurmounatble both in monetary terms and in human life. A ruthless businesswoman meets the demand of those disheartened by the organ transplant systems by circumventing the rules and making promises to young vulnerable street kids, afterall who will miss them? A thuggish brute of a man aids her in the enterprise. Grace and his team must race against time to save the life of a street kid and find the killer of several mutilated teens. The parties collide in a nailbiting final chapter, one which unusually does not have the ending many would desire. It's a harsh reminder that real life is often far more uncompromising than fiction. Along the way we dip into the mystery of Sandy, and Glenn's disaster of a marriage. All in all a very good book indeed.

This is a really good entry in the Roy Grace series of police procedural novels. It really built and maintained the tension throughout, and raised some interesting moral dilemmas too - of the "if you were a parent what would you do?" kind. I thought it was all handled very well, the characters were fully brought to life, and I really enjoyed it.

I have only recently been introduced to Peter James's Roy Grace series of thrillers and this is the fifth one I have read. The novels in this series simply get better and better. Again, we have Roy Grace and his team working flat out to solve the latest major crime. I love the way we get to delve into Roy's private life too and over the series of books I feel I know him as a friend, so real a person he has become. This storyline was written around a very delicate topic which James does huge justice to both morally and emotionally. All in all a real page turner of a novel - looking forward to reading book six :-)

I've been gradually working my way through the Inspector Grace series, taking one on holiday each time I go away. The last sentence of the fourth book left me gasping to know more, so I was really looking forward to finding out just what was going to happen with Grace and his love life. Sadly, Dead Tomorrow doesn't really tell much more than that last sentence of the last book. However, the plot line of Dead Tomorrow is as excellent as ever, although my one complaint would be that I thought the story was just a little over long and could have been cut by quite a few chapters. Unlike other reviewers, I do enjoy short and snappy chapters. I think that they work well in crime stories and keep the reader gripped, my problem was that there were too many of them. This has not put me off in any way though, I love the lead character and his supporting cast of police officers and am still intrigued as to where his personal story is leading.
