About this listen

An obsessive psychopath must be stopped whilst Detective Superintendent Roy Grace also deals with a very personal mystery in Want You Dead, by award winning crime writer Peter James.

Grace’s wife Sandy is officially declared dead after being missing for a decade, allowing him to marry the mother of his baby son. But Sandy’s disappearance is unexplained for a reason.

Bryce Laurent doesn’t want his ex-girlfriend to move on. Terrified by Bryce’s dark side, she seeks police protection. But Bryce will not be stopped, determined to destroy everything and everyone she has ever known and loved – and then her too . . .

Although the Roy Grace novels can be listened to in any order, Want You Dead is the tenth thrilling title in the bestselling series. Enjoy more of the Brighton detective’s investigations with You Are Dead and Love You Dead.

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

Peter James at his brilliant best

Would you consider the audio edition of Want You Dead to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print version so can't tell.

What did you like best about this story?

I really enjoy the characters in this series and love watching them develop. Add that to a brilliant storyline and there's nothing to dislike.

What about Daniel Weyman’s performance did you like?

He seems to get across the different personalities very well.

The victim was an idiot

The ending was perfect , I screamed and swore at Red so many times for not listening to the police. I didn’t think it was necessary for the perp to have.another chance with her the last time. Loved the Sandy situation too.

Characters making dumb choices

I do like this narrator a lot- the best of all who have narrated a Peter James book I’ve heard. But this story line was frustrating. The woman who was spearheading the criminal acts of the villain in this story, made ridiculous choices, and wasn’t fully believable as a woman everyone else kept commenting on as ‘being a smart woman’. Also-way too much soliloquies from the villain. That got old very quickly. I’ve really enjoyed all the Roy Grace books prior to this one. And hope the next is back up to good story standards of the previous ones.

Really Enjoyed This

Brilliantly narrated, I thought it ended abruptly, especially with reference to Red, but a really good book
