Stop Them Dead

Roy Grace Returns in the Gripping Nineteenth Instalment from No. 1 Bestseller Peter James

By: Peter James

Narrated by: Daniel Weyman

‘Peter James is one of the best British crime writers, and therefore one of the best in the world’ – LEE CHILD, author of the Jack Reacher series

Discover the darkness that lurks around every corner in the latest instalment of the award-winning Grace series by Peter James, now a major ITV show starring John Simm.

A ruthless crime. A race against time.

In the dead of night, a farmer confronts the intruders of a break in, having no idea that the encounter will leave him dead. What’s more chilling is the truth of what the perpetrators were willing to kill for.

At the scene, DS Roy Grace senses that this is no mere botched robbery; it’s the tip of the iceberg of a nationwide crime epidemic. Ruthless gangs, operating with military precision, have discovered a new black market flourishing in the shadows – an unthinkable source of wealth even more profitable than drugs.

Grace’s investigation into this deadly trade pits him against people who will kill anyone who gets in their way.

Although the Roy Grace novels can be read in any order, Stop Them Dead is the nineteenth thrilling title in the bestselling series. Enjoy more of the Brighton detective’s investigations with One of Us is Dead.

Great subject

I loved that it brought to light the horrible subject of breeders and puppy mills!! Adopt don’t shop. Please rescue. Save a dog 🤗

Peter James is back on form!

The last few in the series have been a bit hit and miss but this latest offering really had me wanting to listen all the time. I’m not sure if this crime is based on facts but it really was engrossing.

A few ‘coincidences’ too many tying everything together, maybe, but it is fictional and a very addictive story, excellently read, as usual, by Daniel.

I hope the next in the series doesn’t have us waiting a whole year 😅

Another fantastic book!

Peter James is one of my favorite authors and once again he didn't disappoint. Daniel Weyman is the perfect narrator for this book with his range of voicing characters and clarity of speaking making it a really enjoyable listen. 12 out of 10, looking forward to the next one!

He does it again!

Great story characters we have grown to like - Peter James can spin a tale and make you come back again and again

Excellent!

One of his best. An incredibly complex and layered story that worked from every angle. I love the character development and intelligence of the writing. At times the story was so intense, I almost couldn’t listen—an exciting and thought provoking story.
