Publisher's summary

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.

a little disappointed

Not as good as the previous books in the Roy Grace series. Based around a court case rather than Roy Grace

Very good

I have had this audiobook pre-ordered for a while, something I always do with these Roy Grace books. Peter James is a fantastic writer and Roy is a great character.

Roy’s been on secondment to London and the Met. In that role he finds out about a drug trafficking ring that brings drugs in using classic cars. He passes the tip on and Border Patrol finds a Ferrari with drugs. The truck driver is arrested and an interesting courtroom drama ensues. In fact, this is more courtroom drama than Roy Grace et al and a police procedural. Good thing I like a good trial story. (Steve Cavanagh’s work comes to mind.) But I like Roy Grace better and, therefore I could only give this four stars.

Roy does have his run-ins with his boss, a real jerk who deserves his comeuppance. And what’s going on with Bruno? I think I wrote that after the preceding book, too.

The narration by Daniel Weyman was very well done.

Not as good as usual

Roy isn't the main character in this one. It focuses on Meg, who is a jury foreperson at a major drug trial. It is kind of interesting, but ends in a convoluted way that isn't at all convincing. Roy's family is visited a bit. That poor Bruno is getting us set up for some really crazy behavior in future books. I think that James might be sorry that he added him into the mix. Even the dog isn't safe from this mixed up kid, let alone baby Noah. That said, this installment is definitely a let down.

Boring book

The most boring of all the Roy Grace books. Almost the whole book is about court procedure & Roy Grace hardly featured. Not reccommended
