*****

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.

Critic reviews

One of James’s most emotionally engaging books

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

James just gets better and better and deserves the success he has achieved with this first-class series

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

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.

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!

Wow, personified!

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

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.
