Are you sure TOSPOTU is not an insult?!! I am back in Brighton (where I was born and bred) as I read your Roy Grace novels, in my new hometown of Leicester.(Where I have lived for the past 19 years). I yearn for the sea, The Palace Pier, the Lanes and so much more, as I am transported 'home' when I take Roy Grace to bed on a regular basis! (NB Was recommended to read your books by an old fat man I met in a steam room!) Such fun! Lolly
Another born and bred Brightonian here, who moved to Spain at the age of 16, 30 years ago.
My mum (who still lives in Brighton) sent me a box of books a few month ago, including about 5 of yours. As a fan of non-fiction who doesn't have nearly enough time for book reading as it is, I kind of just put them in a corner to look at later. However, due to a night I just couldn't sleep, I picked "Not Dead Enough" up, thinking it would send me off to dreamland.
HA...more fool me...I read it in one and a half sittings, and since have done the same with "Faith" and "Denial".
Thank you so much for re-igniting my love of books that don't necessarily focus on self-help and autobiographies, and for bring memories of my childhood stomping ground so vividly back to life.
I am looking forward to many more titles and have ordered the ones mum didn't send from Amazon.
I have lived in OR 23 years, I am Scottish originally. I love reading and accidentlycame across "dead Simple" could not put it down. Now I have read all the Roy Grace series and many others. I was at he book signing in Seaford last week and got my book signed and a photo of Peter taken with me. Peter is a gentleman. Terry

Yes, the Sandy situation. I've been wondering about the psychological thinking behind it.
(There is a rather unfortunate word verification...tospotu! I do NOT agree!)

Oh, I really hope no one really read it as I did, as "toss-pot, you"! Or do I mean, I hope you did, and I am not the only foul-minded saddo !

Debbie, to be told I have reignited someone's passion for reading is the nicest possible thing anyone could say. Thank you so much.
