John Simm, who stars as Detective Superintendent Roy Grace in the new adaptation of Peter James's bestselling novels, has criticised his character's mistakes in the upcoming season. The two-part series begins with a stag night prank gone wrong, leaving the groom-to-be missing.
Simm's Grace is still plagued by the disappearance of his wife Sandy six years prior, and his increasingly unorthodox investigation methods come under scrutiny during a local murder trial. The actor noted that Grace's personal struggles lead to professional errors.
The feature-length opener sees Grace potentially finding redemption through the stag night case, which could provide the key to solving his personal and professional dilemmas. The series co-stars Richie Campbell.
