About this listen
Detective Superintendent Roy Grace faces his most mysterious case yet in the gripping crime novel Need You Dead, by award winning author Peter James.
Lorna Belling, desperate to escape the marriage from hell, falls for the charms of a man who promises her the earth. But, as Lorna soon finds, life seldom follows the plans you’ve made.
When the body of a woman is found, Grace is called to the scene. At first it looks an open-and-shut case with a clear prime suspect. That is, until Grace realizes there is a darker, far more terrifying alternative . .
Although the Roy Grace novels can be listened to in any order, Need You Dead is the thirteenth title in the bestselling series. Enjoy more of the Brighton detective’s investigations with Dead If You Don’t and Dead at First Sight.
Now a major ITV series, Grace, starring John Simm.

excellent read
If you could sum up Need You Dead in three words, what would they be?
suspense level just right and I couldn't pick the guilty party. Like the mix of Roy Grace's home and work life.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Need You Dead?
the spider in the cot - there by coincidence or planted?
What about Daniel Weyman’s performance did you like?
great ability to change his voice and pace just right
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
yes
Any additional comments?
I love this series but have never listened to one on audible before and was nervous it wouldn't be the same but in fact it was just as good as reading it if not better.

Pugh
how I hate that character Pugh. He reminds of awful Inspector in Endeavour. A sly adulterous annoying weasle . Bump him off and in a bad way.

Love This Series
I just love this series. The characters are great, the narrator is great and the stories are great. I think though that if you only picked this book up without reading the previous ones it would be hard to follow at times, particularly all the references to his ex-wife. That is one part of the series I wouldn't have bothered with, the rest is very easy listening.

Dreary pedestrian yarn
The first two chapters, albeit short, of this crime novel simply repeat the protagonist's hurt and fury using the same mundane expressions. And mundane describes the story from therein. The language and characterisations are cliched and the plot such as it is, suggests Peter James was bored witless trying to animate the 13th volume in the series. There are loads more crime writers producing sharply observed, sophisticated thrillers to be bothered with this commonplace effort. The narrator is good although he occasionally over-emphasised words or phrases that distracted from the flow.
