Summary

Detective Superintendent Roy Grace, creation of the CWA Diamond Dagger award-winning author Peter James, faces his most engrossing case yet in Left You Dead.

Niall and Eden Paternoster start their Sunday the same way they always do - with a long drive, a visit to a country house and a quick stop at the local supermarket on the way home.

But this Sunday ends differently - because while Niall waits and waits in the car park for Eden to pick up supplies, Eden never returns. She’s not waiting for him at home, and none of their family or friends have heard from her.

Gone without a trace, Niall is arrested on suspicion of her murder. When DS Roy Grace is called in to investigate, it doesn’t take long to realize that nothing in this case is quite as it seems....

Left You Dead is the seventeenth thrilling crime novel in the Roy Grace series. Enjoy more of the Brighton detective’s investigations with Dead Simple, Looking Good Dead and Not Dead Enough.

Now a major TV series starring John Simm.

Unexpected death of a character

Waited in anticipation for the next book. Couldn’t put it down. A great inspector Grace is back- much better than the last book. Some unexpected death of characters. All ready waiting for the next

Excellent in all ways

I loved this audio book. Peter James story was brilliant and the narrator completely did it justice. I listened over two days as wanted to know what was going to happen next. I definitely would recommend. Hope there will be another in the Roy Grace series - I think this might be my favourite so far.

Brilliant!!

After reading Books 1 to 16 in less than 6 weeks, I was really looking forward to this one and it didn't disappoint. Fast moving with a twist and a shock or two. What a finale!!

Possibly the best yet!

I think this may be the best in the series featuring DI Grace. I guessed a major part of the twist early on. That didn’t spoil my enjoyment though and, as the story progressed, there was so much more than I expected. I was gripped throughout. I very much look forward to the next offering by Peter James.
