Picture You Dead

Roy Grace Returns to Solve a Nerve-Shattering Case

De: Peter James

Narrado por: Daniel Weyman

A long-lost masterpiece sparks deadly violence – and sets Detective Superintendent Roy Grace on the path of a caclulating killer. Discover the darkness that lurks around every corner in Picture You Dead by Peter James.

Now a major ITV drama starring John Simm as Roy Grace.

Harry and Freya, an ordinary couple, dreamed for years of finding something priceless buried amongst the tat in a car boot sale.

It was a dream they knew in their hearts would never come true – until the day it did . . .

They buy a drab portrait for twenty pounds for its beautiful frame, planning to cut the painting out. Then, studying it back at home, there seems to be another picture beneath, of a stunning landscape. Could it be a long-lost masterpiece from 1770? If genuine, it could be worth millions.

One collector is certain it is genuine. Someone who uses any method he can to get what he wants.

Detective Superintendent Roy Grace finds himself plunged into the unfamiliar and rarefied world of fine art. Outwardly it appears respectable, gentlemanly, above reproach. But beneath the veneer, he rapidly finds that greed, deception and violence walk hand-in-hand. And Harry and Freya are about to discover that their dream is turning into their worst nightmare . . .

Although the Roy Grace novels can be listened to in any order, Picture You Dead is the nineteenth title in the bestselling series. Enjoy more of the Brighton detective’s investigations with Find Them Dead and Left You Dead.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Sinister and riveting… Peter James is one of the best British crime writers, and therefore one of the best in the world. (Lee Child, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher novels)

Peter James is one of the best crime writers in the business (Karin Slaughter)

A typically clever and convoluted central mystery (Daily Mirror on Left You Dead)

Left You Dead is a real page-turner. (Express on Left You Dead)

As ever, the pages become blurred as you race to discover the verdict. The plot also leaves you hungry for the next episode in DS Grace’s personal drama (i newspaper on Find Them Dead)

Reading your books after reading another author is like coming home. (John Simm, from the Left You Dead launch event)

Peter James creates a world we can smell, touch and feel for his Brighton detective Inspector Roy Grace (The Times on Not Dead Enough)

One of the world’s most popular detective series

Best Grace in a long time!

This is a four-and-a-half star book imo. I really enjoyed this and my only quibble would be the speed in which Dan apparently copied the paintings, but it’s splitting hairs as the story was developed well, and I love stories where parallel situations come together. I was a little surprised by the ending but that added to the appeal.
All in all, a great story, excellently read as always, set in my hometown which is always a cool feeling.

Picture You Dead

Been waiting a long time for this audiobook, but was well worth the wait. Another excellent book in the Roy Grace series. Would really love to see the TV Series.
