Resumen del Editor

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"James ratchets up the tension to an almost unbearable level in his 10th Roy Grace thriller as Bryce’s game of cat and mouse works towards a terrifying conclusion." (Bella)

"Peter James has written another gripping and authentic police procedural which his fans will love." (Sunday Express)

The victim was an idiot

The ending was perfect , I screamed and swore at Red so many times for not listening to the police. I didn’t think it was necessary for the perp to have.another chance with her the last time. Loved the Sandy situation too.

Want You Dead

ThexMorexI read/listen to this series, the more I become addicted. Everything about this book was fantastic, the story the characters & the narration.

Peter James at his brilliant best

Would you consider the audio edition of Want You Dead to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print version so can't tell.

What did you like best about this story?

I really enjoy the characters in this series and love watching them develop. Add that to a brilliant storyline and there's nothing to dislike.

What about Daniel Weyman’s performance did you like?

He seems to get across the different personalities very well.

Great read

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This book was better than the trilogy series which was very good that included Chessmen

Any additional comments?

No

Love this series!

Roy Grace and his team solving gruesome murders in Brighton. Great cast of characters including the cities of Brighton and Hove in Sussex, England

Top Thriller

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I rarely give 5 stars which I save for the very, very best. This did not quite deserve 5 stars but was better than my normal 4 star reads; wish you had ½ star ratings Audible. Yes, I would definitely recommend this book to a friend who enjoyed a good thriller. It was an all rounder; a well fleshed out book and the ending was perfect.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, the plot did keep me 'on the edge of my seat' so to speak. James, cleverly built up the suspense from one chapter to the next, but interspersed each heart thumping moment with a bit of softness and love to do with our policeman's personal life which was a wonderful contrast to the crazy protagonist who stalked nearly every page.

Which character – as performed by Daniel Weyman – was your favorite?

Pretty well all of them, but he did Detective Inspector Grace pretty well, and also his yankee accent wasn't too bad with the Bryce character either.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Don't date on line and die......

Any additional comments?

Well written tight plot, terrifically narrated by Daniel Wyman. Character development was excellent, this book contained all the necessary elements of a good and very satisfying thriller suspense novel. Absolutely recommend!

Not my favorite in the series

I felt increasingly frustrated by the actions/in-actions of Red. Although the narrator was good overall I was slightly exhausted with over dramatization of the bad guys nasty thoughts and intentions.

Really Enjoyed This

Brilliantly narrated, I thought it ended abruptly, especially with reference to Red, but a really good book

Best one yet!!!

Have listened to several in the Roy Grace series & this one is at the top of the list!

Roy Grace never disappoints!

Another great Roy Grace novel with all the characrers I've come to enjoy and feel at home with. As always, this installment has unforeseen twists and turns.
