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.

Spellbinding

I was hooked as usual. The characters come to life when your listening. The narrator is brilliant with the accents and becoming the characters. I was heartbroken and sobbing along with the story too. Top class read.

A gripping tale

I really enjoyed this listen, the audio equivalent to a real page turner. lots if second guessing, but didn't see the twist coming.

Always enjoyable spending time with Roy Grace.

Twisty tale that has exciting ending. A couple of major developments for some of the well known characters.

Normal service is resumed

After the last book was quite disappointing we are back on track with this one.
Good crime story which wasn’t quite as predictable as I first thought. Also the personal back story moved along significantly in ways I definitely did not expect. Good book and well read what more could you ask for.

Enjoyed this new Roy Grace book.

Narrated really well. Good story, bit predictable in parts. The cliff hanger ending was a bit too similar to a previous book but overall I enjoyed this read.
