Book series

Hi NanKate, I mentioned the Roy Grace books up thread, but forgot to say they were written by Peter James. A couple have been dramatised on tv with John Simm. There is an unfolding personal story relating to Roy Grace which is revealed little by little in successive books, so to get the best out of the development of the characters, read them in order. It's hard to remember which is which because they all have "Dead" in the title, but if you Google them they'll be in published order somewhere.

I’ve just been recommended to Peter James books being set in Brighton. Any fans here ? Don’t know where to start with his books.

I live near Brighton, so was quite excited as I love my crime books. Maybe I got a particularly violent one, but not for me.

I would always say, start with the first one where the author spends time on the personality of the main characters.

Thanks TerriBull I will take your advice 👍

My son lives near Brighton Chardy so I too like books set there as I know the area quite well. Have you tried the great Elly Griffiths books set in Brighton in the 1950s/1960s can highly recommend. Need to read them in order.

Rebecca Tope has a series set in the Cotswolds and another set in the Lake District.
