Dead Like You - Peter James Nutty NUUT readOpening: Thursday 25 DecemberWe all make mistakes, all of the time. Mostly trivial stuff, like forgetting to return a phone call, or to put money in a parking meter, or to pick up milk at the supermarket. But sometimes – luckily very rarely – we make the big one.The kind of mistake that could cost us our life.The kind of mistake Rachael Ryan made.And she had a long time to reflect on it.If … she had been less drunk. If … it hadn’t been so sodding freezing cold. If … it hadn’t begun to rain. If … there hadn’t been a queue of a hundred equally drunk revellers at the taxi rank in Brighton’s East Street at 2 a.m. on Christmas Eve, or, rather, Christmas morning. If … her flat had not been within walking distance, unlike her equally drunk companions, Tracey and Jade, who lived far away, on the other side of the city.If … she had listened to Tracey and Jade telling her not to be so bloody stupid. That there were plenty of taxis. That it would only be a short wait.Some loose ends which lure us into the next in the series. This one was not so good as the previous entries.4* Dead Simple (Roy Grace #1)4* Looking Good Dead (Roy Grace #2)4* Not Dead Enough (Roy Grace #3)4* Dead Man's Footsteps (Roy Grace #4)4* Dead Tomorrow (Roy Grace #5) 3* Dead Like You (Roy Grace, #6)
