Dead Man's Time

By: Peter James

Narrated by: Daniel Weyman

Detective Superintendent Roy Grace is haunted by the past in his latest case, and his private life, in Dead Man's Time, by award winning crime writer Peter James.

A vicious robbery at a secluded Brighton mansion leaves its elderly occupant fighting for her life. Millions of pounds’ worth of valuables have been stolen.

Within days, Grace is racing against the clock, following a murderous trail that leads him from the shady antiques world of England, across Europe and all the way back to the New York waterfront’s gang struggles of 1922, chasing a killer driven by the force of one man’s greed and another man’s fury.

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

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

Critic reviews

Peter James has penetrated the inner workings of police procedures, and the inner thoughts and attitudes of real detectives, as no English crime writer before him. His hero, Roy Grace, may not be the most lively cop, nor the most damaged by drink, weight or misery, but he's one of the most believable

Meticulous research gives his prose great authenticity . . . James manages to add enough surprises and drama that by the end you’re rooting for the police and really don’t know if they will finally get their men

Another great story

Wish the narrator would improve his cloying American Accent…spoils it totally….in New York they would have an abundance of great local accents…

👍👍

Enjoyable and good listening. The story and plot was not quite the outcome that was expected, which makes the story even better.

Brilliant as usual but one small annoyance

Loved this book as I do all in series. Generally well-performed but Roy Grace and Glen Branson's voices are too similar. This annoyed me when both were speaking.

Hooray

Yes! After a few not so exciting books Peter James has come through with a winner! The story was quite good and kept my interest. Sandy is back again but at least she has become a bit more interesting. I still am tired of her storyline.

There were shady characters galore. We meet new members of Grace's team and grieve with one of them. NYPD is involved again. What's with that attraction lately?

There was an opportunity for an amazing suspense scene. The anticipation was there. I'm not sure to be glad or sad.

Narration was okay but there were still few distinctions between characters. On to Book 10.

One of the best...

In Roy Grace series. I found Gavin to be a very believable and lovable character despite his toughness. The villains were also believable and colorful. Possibly the best thing about this being an audiobook is the marvelous reading by Daniel Weyman. I really, really disliked the reading of the NYC cops who sounded cartoonish to me...BUT all the English and Irish characters (especially Gavin) were outstanding. This series is one you can depend on to have interesting back stories and information and twists and turns that are surprising and yet credible. I don’t remember the last time the ending of a book brought me to tears but the scene at the Manhattan waterfront did it to me big time. Thanks, again, Mr. James!!
