Not Dead Enough by Peter James

"Three murders, one suspect, no proof" reads the cover of this latest mystery by Peter James. DS Roy Grace returns to try and uncover who's behind the deaths of three women in Brighton. Is it the prime suspect Brian Bishop, who seems to have an alibi even though he has connections to two of the victims? Grace and his team try to uncover the truth before someone else comes to harm. Besides dealing with the case, Grace is grappling with the fact that an old friend has contacted him because he saw Sandy, Grace's wife (who has been missing for nine years), in Munich. Recently, Grace has made strides in putting Sandy behind him by dating Cleo Morey, a pathology techinican. How will this news affect Grace and his relationship with Cleo? Not Dead Enough is the third book in the Roy Grace series, but has not yet been published in the U.S. I hope that Carroll and Graf (James' American publisher) hasn't abandoned these books. The character of Grace, the setting of Brighton, and the puzzle in all three books are first-rate.
