Summary

An obsessive psychopath must be stopped whilst Detective Superintendent Roy Grace also deals with a very personal mystery in Want You Dead, by award winning crime writer Peter James.

Grace’s wife Sandy is officially declared dead after being missing for a decade, allowing him to marry the mother of his baby son. But Sandy’s disappearance is unexplained for a reason.

Bryce Laurent doesn’t want his ex girlfriend to move on. Terrified by Bryce’s dark side, she seeks police protection. But Bryce will not be stopped, determined to destroy everything and everyone she has ever known and loved – and then her too . . .

Although the Roy Grace novels can be listened to in any order, Want You Dead is the tenth thrilling title in the bestselling series. Enjoy more of the Brighton detective’s investigations with You Are Dead and Love You Dead.

Now a major ITV series, Grace, starring John Simm.

The best Roy Grace novel yet!

Would you listen to Want You Dead again? Why?

I would definitely listen to 'Want you Dead' again because this story was just so gripping and so exciting that I would like to appreciate fully the quality of the writing again.

What other book might you compare Want You Dead to, and why?

In a similar genre are the Tom Thorne books by Mark Billingham.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

My favourite scene in this book is the wedding scene with the appearance of Grace's first wife in church - an absolute spell-binder!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I definitely didn't want to stop listening to this story as it had me absolutely gripped!

Any additional comments?

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Peter James has absolutely excelled himself with this latest addition to the Roy Grace series. He has set the bar extremely high for the next one....
