When a woman disappears into thin air, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace must face his most engrossing case yet. From CWA Diamond Dagger award-winning author Peter James.

*****

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.

Enthralling Story!

Another outstanding installment in the Roy Grace series. Excellent performance by the reader. No spoilers but tissue alert...you might need a few.

The Best of the DEAD.....

I have listened to eight of Peter James' "DEAD" books with the infamous Detective Superintendent Roy Grace.

After listening to this audiobook, LEFT YOU DEAD is now my favorite title of this series.

The book was fast-paced and impossible to put down, with no shortage of exciting and compelling twists and turns.

LEFT YOUR DEAD is book 17 and I am proud to report that talented (and prolific!) author Peter James has not lost his mojo.

Daniel Weyman did a superb job with the narration.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Peter James is now working on Book 18.

Wow, personified!

From a committed John Grisham fan - I loved every minute of it and will buy more of Pj's audio books.

An almost perfect story

The plot in this one was mostly great and brilliantly read by Daniel Weyman. My only complaint is that the crime story in this volume was a little ‘meh’, with an ending that felt telescoped, lacking the proper arc and buildup. Some significant things happen for Roy Grace, both wonderful and not so- and these were quite moving. Always worth the read!

Tangled web

Starts off slow, but once more details are added, things get very interesting.
Some common sense would have come in handy for the one who thinks they are so clever. Captivating mystery, but definitely Not a thriller.

Welcome back, Peter!

After two sub par stories, I was delighted to listen to this excellent new edition. Although a couple of parts could be deemed ‘unbelievable’, it is a great work of fiction and I couldn’t wait to get back to it every time I put it down.
There seemed to be a mistake in the dates (funeral scheduled for Monday the 13th September which couldn’t have been I think it should have been 30th) but overall a great listen and enjoyable story, like the good old days! Well done, Peter.

WOW, quite suspenseful

This was a well written book and I really liked some of the characters.
It did keep you listening so you could find out how the crime was solved

Left You Dead

Decided I wanted a good book, so got the latest Roy Grace book, so glad I did, now to catch up, I can go backwards. This book I thoroughly enjoyed, the murders characters are fantastic. The narration has caught the characters perfectly.

Excellent

I loved this book one of the best. Roy grace is awesome the perfect gentleman. There were some very sad moment that brought tears but it’s a great read. I love audible I listen to work and back and Peter James makes travelling a pleasure.

Excellent

I find the Roy Grace books great listening. I cannot turn them off and have to keep buying extra credits. +++A
