Roy grace not dead enough5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() Politistii il interogheaza pe sotul primei femei si cu timpul isi dau seama ca toate dovezile il incrimineaza. Criminalul le dezbraca, le leaga, le pune o masca de gaze pe fata apoi le stranguleaza. ![]() In ceea ce priveste actiunea, politistul Roy Grace si echipa sa de la sectia de omoruri din Sussex cerceteaza o serie de crime ce au ca victime femei. Prezentul roman este cel de-al treilea in seria 'Roy Grace' si evident ca eu nu le-am citit pe primele doua inca, dar consider ca acesta poate fi parcurs si fara a cunoaste evenimentele din primele doua volume.Ĭartea are de toate, crima, actiune, umor, suspans, violenta, un erou politist carismatic si un criminal in serie interesant pana la un anumit punct. Peter James s-a remarcat in lumea cinematografica fiind producatorul executiv al filmului "Negutatorul din Venetia", iar ca romancier a devenit celebru pentru seria 'Roy Grace' care a fost tradusa in peste 36 de limbi si a primit nenumarate premii. ![]()
