Omtale fra forlaget
On the night Brian Bishop murdered his wife, he was sixty miles away, asleep in bed at the time. At least, that's the way it looks to Detective Superintendent Roy Grace who is called in to investigate the kinky slaying of beautiful young Brighton socialite, Katie Bishop. Soon, Grace starts coming to the conclusion that Bishop has performed the apparently impossible feat of being in two places at once. Has someone stolen his identity, or is he simply a very clever liar? As Grace digs deeper behind the facade of the Bishops' outwardly respectable lives, it starts to become clear that all is not at all as it first seemed. And then he digs just a little too far, and suddenly the fragile stability of his own troubled, private world is facing destruction ...Praise for "Looking Good Dead": 'James is a master plotter ...this follow-up to "Dead Simple" cannot fail to thrill' - "Daily Mail". 'I couldn't put it down ...even better than the first' - "Independent".

Spennende bok, men for lang. For mye detaljerte beskrivelser av ting som ikke er relevant for handlingen. Og så går han i den klassiske fellen om at man akkurat eller akkurat ikke rekker frem til morderen. Hadde gitt en 5-er uten manglene.
Roy Grace, Brighton

Time, he had come to realize, was one of the things you have plenty of in life when you have little else. He was time-rich. Near on a time billionaire.
'You know the best character trait to become a successful businessman?'
'Whatever it is, I wasn't born with it.'
'It's being a sosiopath. Having no conscience, as ordinary people know it.'
He wondered, sometimes, if he would make old bones. And what it would be like. To be retired, hobbling along, confused by the past, bewildered by the present and with the future mostly irrelevant. Or being pushed along in a wheelchair, with a blanket over his knees, another one over his mind.
All men lie. That's how they operate. If you want a longterm relationship with a man, you've got to understand it's going to be with a liar. It's in their nature - it's genetic, it's a bloody Darwinian acquired characteristic for survival, OK? They tell you what they want you to hear.
She had learned from her last relationship that just when you thought everything was perfect, life could turn round and bite you.
There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come.
Perspective. Everything was about perspective. One man's darkness was another man's daylight. How come so many people did not realize that?
