Heather Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hello I would love my fellow BFC friend help me choose my next book I have a choice of two and here is the blurb about them. This will be my first book for 2008. Not Dead Enough by Peter James Blurb On the night Brian Bishop murdered his wife he was sixty miles away, asleep in bed at the time. At least thats the way it looks tp Detectivr Superintendent Roy Grace, who is called to investigate the kinky slaying of beautiful young Brighton socalite, Katie Bishop. Grace soon starts coming to the conclusion that Bishop has performed the apparently impossible feat of being in two places at once. Has someone stolen his identity or is he a very clever liar? As Grace digs deeper behind the facade of the Bishops outwardly respectable lives, it becomes clear that everything is not at all as it first seemed. Then he digs just a little too far, and suddenly the fragile stability of his own troubled, private world is facing descrution...... The Innocent Man By John Grisham Blurb Ron Williamson was a star college baseball player in the small town of Ada, Oklahoma. When he left to peruse his dreams he semed destined for glory. But years of injury, drinking, drugs and women took their toll. He returned to Ada a lonely drifter. In 1982, a 21 year old cocktail waitress was raped and murdered. After five years of fruitless investigation the police arrested Williamson for the want of any other suspect. The case ahainst him eas built on bogus evidence and the testimony of the jailhouse snitches and convicts. He was found guilty at trail and sent to Death Row. Rhis is the true story og the criminal justice system gone terribly wrong. of vengeful prosecutoers and incompetent defence lawyers. Of a mans journey to hell. A journey from which he nearly didn't return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcow Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 They both sound good but I've gone for Not Dead Enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supergran71 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I would go for The Innocent Man. I have read a lot of John Grisham books and the synopsis makes it sound like a story worth reading. Not quite the usual Grisham pattern, but that is why it would be my choice. Another of his books "The Painted House" was also away from his usual genre and was a really great story. I havent read any Peter James books, but the blurb makes it sound just like another murder mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
