Roy Grace is about to find out just how dangerous a dead man can be . . .

Arriving late for a funeral, James Taylor spots a familiar face in the church – his old schoolfriend Rufus Rorke.

Except it couldn’t be him, could it? Because two years ago Taylor attended Rufus’s funeral. He even delivered the eulogy.

On the other side of Brighton, at Police HQ, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace has been alerted to a number of suspicious deaths that he can’t get out of his mind. But how are they linked? And could they possibly be connected to Rufus Rorke?

One Of Us Is Dead is a race-against-time instalment of the award-winning Grace series by Peter James, now a major ITV show starring John Simm.

Very enjoyable

This book was fascinating. Hard to put down. Another ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ winner for Peter James. The narration was also perfect.

Great story line

Excellent narration great story didn’t want it to end the Grace stories never disappoint can’t wait for the next one

I love the Roy Grace series

This whole series has been fascinating. However there wasn’t much emphasis on Grace and his partner and dealt more with the subjects. I wanted more storyline dealing with the lives of the police dept

Far Fetched

Having read all of the series I found the plot here a bit of a stretch and it had me wondering if Roy Grace should be retiring however having been on this journey with him since book #1 he deserves another shot so let’s see what next book brings
