Need You Dead: A Creepy British Crime Thriller (Roy Grace Book 13)

Product Information

What kind of bloke brings his long lost son home, after his mother has committed suicide and then works all weekend? With a handful being amongst the best books I have read, I am disappointed that at best I can only give 3 stars to this book, probably if it was by anyone else might have been 2 stars.

At the same time Roy has to organise the funeral for his former estranged wife, Sandy and bring their 10 year old son (that Grace only recently learned about) to a new life in England and integrate him into his new family. The story real consists of the police procedural investigation into the suspicious death of a local woman Lorna Belling, who is known to the police because of domestic violence incidents between her and her husband.I am so pleased to have followed the advice of a Peter James fan and read a novel from the Roy Grace series. Af en toe ligt de nadruk iets teveel op die te volgen protocollen en op details, waardoor het boek wel lijvig is om te lezen. Initially the case seems relatively straightforward but as the layers are peeled away, Grace soon discovers that this is a very complicated crime. I've been looking forward to my next Roy Grace 'fix' and in Need You Dead, Peter James delivers another blistering story in a series that's maintained momentum.

Overall it was a decent read and I really did enjoy it, but maybe at the cost of areas that were normally more enjoyable. With all of these issues at hand, and loads of staff not being around (Glen Branson his trusty sidekick being one of them) he has a lot on his plate. Roy Grace, creation of the CWA Diamond Dagger award winning author Peter James, faces his most mysterious case yet in Need You Dead . Tot er op een dag in haar geheime plekje iemand haar om het leven brengt en ze dood in bad wordt aangetroffen.

Meanwhile, Grace is faced with bringing back home the body of his dead first wife for burial, along with his previously unknown 10-year-old son he is now charged with rearing. That early human beings communicated entirely by telepathy, and we only learned to speak so that we could lie. I'm struggling to provide more detail without spoiling things for readers who haven't read the previous books in the series so I'll move on.
