About this listen

Roy Grace returns in this pulse-pounding crime thriller from the multimillion-copy bestselling author Peter James

'One of the best British crime writers' – Lee Child

Roy Grace is about to find out just how dangerous a dead man can be . . .

Arriving late for a funeral, James Taylor spots a familiar face in the church – his old schoolfriend Rufus Rorke.

Except it couldn’t be him, could it? Because two years ago Taylor attended Rufus’s funeral. He even delivered the eulogy.

On the other side of Brighton, at Police HQ, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace has been alerted to a number of suspicious deaths that he can’t get out of his mind. But how are they linked? And could they possibly be connected to Rufus Rorke?

One Of Us Is Dead is the latest race-against-time instalment of the award-winning Grace series by Peter James, now a major ITV show starring John Simm.

Another (page turner?) from James. As always a great listen and great story. Can’t wait for the next one

Grace is back!

So much better than the previous book. Good story line and not much on Roy’s personal life

One of the best

I have read or listened to all the Peter James Grace novels and think this is one of the best. Good plotting and plenty of humour. Very well read

Fantastic! One of, if not his best yet!

Interesting, engaging, gripping and compelling.
I thoroughly enjoyed this listen. No slumps, no dead spots. I particularly enjoyed the novel and inventive ways the killer dispatched his victims. Thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish! Infact, I'm going to listen to it again.

One of the best Grace novels

I really enjoyed this book and will be listening to it again in due course. Some of his others (though not many) only deserved one listen in my opinion. I’m not sure if it was my download but very occasionally words were clipped (including the very first word ‘Chapter!). Also as strong as the individual voices were, some including Glen Branson didn’t sound anything like they did in previous books. A relatively minor complaint but there it is. Overall I highly recommend this book to any Roy Grace fan.

Enjoyable

This was not so much about Roy‘s great detective skills which made it refreshing. The baddie is certainly bad!

This is the first Grace book I’ve listened to having seen the tv series and enjoyed it. It won’t be the last.
