Another in the Roy Grace series by Peter James.

In this installment, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace continues his work solving complex cases in Brighton, England. The plot revolves around a mysterious and dangerous online dating agency that appears to match couples based on their compatibility at first sight. However, as the story unfolds, Grace discovers a dark and deadly side to this seemingly innocent service.

Besides cleaning up this case, he also winds down a former problem and moves on to new adventures in London. ( )

Great book. However I am running out of sympathy for Bruno with every book. Am I being harsh? ( )

The 15th novel in the series tackles internet crime - and the business of lonely hearts (and online dating). It all starts with a murder of course - although this time it is not in Brighton but in Germany. The connection is the victim - she is from the seaside town and that pulls Roy Grace in. When the second body turns up in his own town, the existing investigation of the online scammers and the murders merge into one - despite all the attempts of the killers, the connections are there for everyone to see. Add Tooth who is free again and is back for more fun (albeit a bit incapacitated) and the book has a lot more action in it than you would expect from an investigation into online scams. The end promises a bit of a change for the series - Roy Grace decides to accept a temporary posting in London - partially because he thinks he can help and partially to escape Cassian Pewe who continues to be a sorry excuse for a human being and a boss.

There is just something about Peter James' writing and his books and characters that I just can't get enough of. I said once that he could write instruction manuals for installing toilets and I would eagerly read every single word. The story addresses a subject that is very much in today's forefront with the advances in cyber abilities and social media...the ever present SCAMMER! You read these different ways that these people were taken advantage of and ask yourself, "what is wrong with these folks? How could they fall for this? I would never get involved with an on-line romance and send thousands and thousands of dollars to someone whose picture is even fake"...but under the right circumstances...you just might. Great job Mr. James. Roy Grace at his very best. ( )
