For Peter James fans, it’s not this summer’s London Olympics or the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee they’ve been eagerly anticipating all year. It’s the publication of the Sussex author’s latest crime novel, Not Dead Yet, featuring the county’s favourite policeman, Detective Superintentdent Roy Grace. He is married to Lara James (m. 2015). [2] His first, 19-year marriage was to Georgina Wilkin, from 1979 until 1998. [3]

James was educated at Charterhouse and went on to Ravensbourne Film School. For a brief period of time whilst at film school, James worked as Orson Welles's house cleaner. Subsequently, he spent several years in North America, working as a screenwriter and film producer, beginning in Canada in 1970 working first as a gofer, then writer, on the children's television series Polka Dot Door. [1] Personal life [ edit ] These events collide to become a nightmare for Detective Superintendent Roy Grace when an attempt on the life of Gaia is made days before she leaves her Bel Air home to fly to Brighton (her home town) so he has to juggle the hunt for a potential obsessed stalker in his city with an ongoing murder investigation with very few leads and the continuing pregnancy complications of his girlfriend, Cleo. Charlotte is delighted to be working again with Ian Talbot, Josh Andrews and Peter James on the World Premier of Not Dead Enough. She was in last years cast of Peter James’ The Perfect Murder and is thrilled to be touring with this new play. Other theatre credits include Doctor in the House (UK No. 1 tour); More Dead Girls (Theatre 503) and Ray Cooney’s farce, Caught in the Net (English Theatre of Hamburg). Charlotte has performed as an actor in two operas: Strauss’ Intermezzo (Garsington Opera House) and most notably Handel’s Rinaldo in 2011 and 2013 (Glyndebourne Opera House, UK tour and Royal Albert Hall proms). In 2008, Paul was joined by General Manager Jamie Clark, formerly Head of Touring for Bill Kenwright Ltd, to head a new division to expand the company into Producing and General Management.On the night Brian Bishop murdered his wife, he was sixty miles away, asleep in bed. At least that’s what he claims. But as Detective Superintendent Roy Grace continues to deal with the mysterious disappearance of his own wife, he starts to dig a little deeper into the chilling murder case and it soon becomes clear that love can be a dangerous thing… The clothing of each new character is minutely described rather than anything that would delineate character. has also seen TBO Tour Booking Ltd continuing its relationship with some of the UK’s leading producers, looking after the tour planning for a number of productions including The Mousetrap, Dance Till Dawn, The Producers, Peter James’ Dead Simple and the West End production of The Importance of Being Earnest. James has hooked a huge audience with the police detective’s heroics in Brighton, an English seaside town that has outgrown its romantic past. His landscape has multistory buildings casting shadows over Georgian-style terraces and beachfront gardens. Cars have almost replaced the railway. In fact, cars are an important class of icon in James’s world; you can tell a lot about a character from his or her choice of make and model.

Diary (The Comedy Unit/CBBC), and as the voice for Visit Scotland and ScotBlood for radio. like Franco Zeffirelli (Callas Forever) and Peter Greenaway (The Tulse Luper Suitcases: From Sark to Finish).Michael Quartey attended the much renowned Anna Scher theatre school.

The plot wasn't of as much interest to me as others had been but it was okay. There were some brilliant sparks but it wasn't hard to guess whodunnit. I just didn't find the movie characters to be of any interest which was a shame. Good aspects though: the storyline was a bit different this time, with more links to America where obviously Peter James spends a lot of time so it added a bit of variety in that respect. It was an interesting premise with the subject matter of actors, obsessive fan-stalkers and of course, Brighton and The Royal Pavilion’s history- which I found really fascinating. There were some pretty gruesome deaths too which left me wincing a bit- there’s no denying that James’ can write a pretty gory crime scene when he wants to! The writing as ever flows brilliantly, and though some of the storyline seemed a bit far-fetched in places I did still find it to be gripping with a few really good twists. I also liked the author’s nods to social networking and some real-life actors and actresses- it made it feel very ‘now’ and provided shreds of believability.

On top of that there is the narration. I don't think this series has really found the perfect narrator and I have often found myself wondering just how much more successful it might have been with someone like Steven Pacey at the microphone. It hasn't done too badly as it is of course but I think that it would have been absolutely sensational if that had been nailed from the start. Millard, Rachel (22 September 2015).
