Stepney Court, and no, you get those down Little Preston Street.
Watching it as we speak, it seems they used a different flat for the internals and the roof terrace from the penthouse
Just watched it; it was good.
Some posters have asked about future episodes. Peter James was on [MENTION=791]The Albion Roar[/MENTION] and if memory serves me correctly they have initially shot two books and if well received then they’ll film the entire series. Maybe TAR can confirm my memory is intact.

It's a long time since I read the first book, so I may have got this wrong, but I don't recall Grace being assigned to a dead end job. I'm sure he's in charge of the case in fact. And in a later book, he's up for promotion and loses out to Cassian Pewe. I'm not sure how the producers of the TV show are going to manage to fix it so a high-flying officer up for a senior role is an officer under threat of dismissal.
The detective who's always being taken off the case by a superior officer is a bit of a cliche in TV detective shows and I'm not sure it's needed here.
When's Cleo coming in?

I've just checked this and I was partly wrong: Vosper does have it in for Roy and wants him out but he's not being relieved of active duty though. And it's the Chief Constable who likes Roy and over-rules Vosper. I still don't like the fact that she doesn't like him - it's still too much of a cliche for me
Yes I had to leave the room at that point. Then my wife had to do the same at the point they showed what happened to his finger.
Apart from that, I thought it was great.
I too fast forwarded that bit, and it’s not just the buried alive bit, it’s in a confined space too!
My wife had to leave the room then too. I was cool about it though (mainly because I'd read the book and knew what was going to happen)
Your memory is fine HT, they have shot 2 books.

It is a long time since I read it as well but I thought she was in Dead Simple but obviously not as his lady friend. Must have been cut out.

That building, yeah. The two-storey penthouse is to the left, the terrace to the right.

I think that's about the size of it.

I don't recall Cleo becoming a more major character until book three or four. If she was in earlier, there was certainly no hint at luuurve. Also, if she was in the first book, given the time constraints, it is a plot device that can wait for the TV series.
My concern - assuming they film the rest of the books - is how they get the Sandy sub-plot into each 96-minute show without making the rest of the detective story seem rushed or squashed.
2005. Don’t recall there being an autopsy in Dead Simple so no Cleo.

How soon is now?
I suffer with claustrophobia to that extreme and struggled with the book. In the end I had to read the end of the book first, and knowing that he survived made reading the book manageable. Watching the adaptation was tough at times, even knowing the outcome...
The books are good, but you need a break in between them. I binge read a few, but had to give myself a break

I quite enjoyed it, I have to say, though the missus fell asleep. I’m incredibly relieved to see others struggled with the buried alive in the coffin bit, because that made me very uncomfortable! People keep saying it’s one of their greatest fears, but surely that’s effing normal, isn’t it? I mean who doesn’t fear being buried alive?
For those who are squeamish and anxious about it, I sure I read somewhere that when opening old coffins many were found to have scratch marks on the inside, due they seem to think to lack of medical knowledge and actually burying people alive who were in comas. Now, that is horrific. How lucky we are to be born in the modern world.

I’ve stayed in the Jury’s penthouse suites and I didn’t recognise the one in the show, could have been nearby though as you say.
