*The brand new Roy Grace novel from Peter James - Picture You Dead - is available to pre-order now* Detective Superintendent Roy Grace, creation of the CWA Diamond Dagger award-winning author Peter James, faces his most engrossing case yet in Left You Dead. 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. 'One of James’s most emotionally engaging books' – Mirror

Possibly the best book in the series to date. The tension is palpable but be prepared for some heartbreak along the way.
Damn. I think books should come with a suicide warning. In this sequel, the difficult adopted son dies.
I was taken with this series, which is very well performed on Storytel by Daniel Weyman. But. I had been wondering for 4 or 5 books why Roy and Chloe did not take action to find out what was wrong with their newly adopted 12 year old. I cannot imagine Peter James has lived through such an experience himself. (I have). Parents will seek help.
And then may be half of the book is about his hospital admittance, the shock, the grief, the doctors, repeat 10 times or so, the decision to give up his organs for transplantation (did Peter James get paid for the promotion?), the funeral arrangements.. it goes on and on. And to what purpose?
It's just tearjerking. It serves no purpose in the story.
Anyway. I stopped reading.
