About this listen

Detective Superintendent Roy Grace unearths a powerful criminal network in the sinister crime novel Find Them Dead, by award winning author Peter James.

Ending his secondment to London’s Met Police, Roy Grace gets a tip-off about a drugs mastermind operating out of Brighton. On his first day back in his old job, he is called to a seemingly senseless murder.

Gradually, Grace’s investigation draws him into the evil sphere of an utterly ruthless drug dealer on trial. A man prepared to order the death of anyone it takes to enable him to walk free from court.

Sitting in the jury is Meg Magellan, whose daughter's life is being threatened by a stranger who tells her that if she ever wants to see her alive again, it is very simple. At the end of the trial, all she has to do is make sure the jury says just two words . . . Not guilty.

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

Now a major ITV series, Grace, starring John Simm.

Roy Grace a nice bloke

I’ve always loved peter James stories. And Daniel Weymans voice is lovely. This book is less about Roy and family and more about a court case. Didn’t like it much ......liked it least of his stories. I do hope they improve as time goes on.
So I’d pass on this book. Find another.

Great suspense!

It was like a piece of chocolate... I wanted more all the time. There is the question of what happens next.

Not a genuine Roy Grace series book

I actually really enjoyed the book, it was excellent. However, it was by no means a Roy Grace book. Feeling duped. Therefore, the 3 stars. :(

Was this really a part of the Roy Grace series?

This was still a good story but there seemed to be two stories which only vaguely connected. I’m assuming we’ll know more in the next novel. The ending didn’t really wrap up the storyline. I’m still waiting for the consequences. However, Daniel Weymans voice is so easy to listen to. The story, although inconclusive, was still great.

A little dull

No enough development with the main characters. Roy’s family wouldn’t have had more than 30 minutes of the audio time.

Where is Roy Grace?

I really enjoy Peter May’s work, but this one was not up to standard. The character ‘Meg’ was boring and I moved forward to get away from her brain. Too much time on her and other characters when Roy Grace and his colleagues are the interesting ingredients in this series. I think this book is merely a setting of the scene for the next instalment- let’s hope so.
