Summary
A shocking reveal threatens to unravel Detective Superintendent Roy Grace’s happy new life in Love You Dead, by award winning crime author Peter James.
Grace is newly married, having moved to a country cottage with Cleo and their baby son. But his first, long-missing wife, now found, has left Grace a surprise greater than he could have imagined.
Yet the police need Grace at work: an escaped murderer who left a bullet in him is back and a Black Widow is leaving an international trail of corpses after – in every sense – bleeding them dry. Now, she’s come to Brighton for her next rich target . . .
Although the Roy Grace novels can be read in any order, Love You Dead is the twelve title in the bestselling series. Enjoy more of the Brighton detective’s investigations with Need You Dead and Dead If You Don’t.
Now a major ITV series, Grace, starring John Simm.

Inventive plotting that kept me gripped
I’ve read/listened to Peter James’ entire series featuring detective Roy Grace and am amazed how the author keeps coming up new scenarios. The present book has one of the most imaginatively plotted: involving snakes, spiders and scorpions that will give some listeners nightmares. A rapacious young widow preys on elderly, rich men and who, once hooked, she murders in outlandish ways. One has to suspend belief that the men would be so gullible, the murders so elaborately contrived, and the coincidences as far-fetched, but this is fiction and it certainly kept me listening eager to find out what she got up to next.
Two criminals on the run from previous novels re-appear and tracking them down is woven into the main story. Those who have followed the series will also know that there is a back-story of Grace’s first wife, Sandy, who disappeared over 10 years earlier. She reappeared in the previous novel and there is a certain resolution in this book, but there will obviously be further ramifications revealed in future novels.
The narrator is excellent and a fine mimic of different accents, ages and genders to bring to life the larger than life characters inhabiting the story.

A gripping as ever!
Another tip top Roy Grace masterpiece. Totally gripping from the get go. I simply couldn't put it down.
The ongoing thread with Sandy is genius.
Can't WAIT for the next one!

Peter James has done it again!!!
What a cracking book. I have read all of the Roy Grace books and always wonder when I start one how Peter could possibly make it as good as his last but he always does. I love all the characters and feel like I know them. The only down side is that I have to wait another year for the next one. Keep them coming Peter!
