Story
Roy Grace and his family have left Sussex behind for a week’s holiday in France. The website promised a grand house, but when they arrive the place is very different from the pictures. And it soon becomes clear that their holiday nightmare is only just beginning. An old enemy of Roy, a lowlife criminal he had put behind bars, is now out of jail - and out for revenge. He knows where Roy and his family have gone on holiday. Of course he does. He’s been hacking their emails - and they are in the perfect spot for him to pay Roy back.

The false faith of a billionaire evangelist, the life’s work of a famous atheist and the credibility of each of the world’s major religions are all under threat. If Ross Hunter can survive long enough to present the evidence....

To the outside world, suave, charming and confident doctor Marcus Valentine has it all. A loving wife, three kids, a great job. But there’s something missing, there always has been...or rather, someone.... Driving to work one morning, his mind elsewhere and not on the road, he almost mows down a female jogger on a crossing. As she runs on, Marcus is transfixed. Infatuated. She is the spitting image of a girl he was crazy about in his teens. A girl he has never been able to get out of his mind.

Combining stories from ebook story collections Short Shockers One and Short Shockers Two, and with never-before-seen new material, this is a story collection you won't forget. From a woman intent on revenge, to a restaurant critic with a fear of the number thirteen, and from a story of ghostly terror to the first ever case of his best-loved Detective, Roy Grace, James exposes the Achilles heels of each of his characters, and makes us question how well we can trust ourselves, and each other.

Summary
Detective Superintendent Roy Grace, creation of the CWA Diamond Dagger award-winning author Peter James, faces his most engrossing case yet in Left You Dead.
Niall and Eden Paternoster start their Sunday the same way they always do - with a long drive, a visit to a country house and a quick stop at the local supermarket on the way home.
But this Sunday ends differently - because while Niall waits and waits in the car park for Eden to pick up supplies, Eden never returns. She’s not waiting for him at home, and none of their family or friends have heard from her.
Gone without a trace, Niall is arrested on suspicion of her murder. When DS Roy Grace is called in to investigate, it doesn’t take long to realize that nothing in this case is quite as it seems....
Left You Dead is the 17th thrilling crime novel in the Roy Grace series. Enjoy more of the Brighton detective’s investigations with Dead Simple, Looking Good Dead and Not Dead Enough.
Now a major TV series starring John Simm.

I loved this audio book. Peter James story was brilliant and the narrator completely did it justice. I listened over two days as wanted to know what was going to happen next. I definitely would recommend. Hope there will be another in the Roy Grace series - I think this might be my favourite so far.

Possibly the best yet!
I think this may be the best in the series featuring DI Grace. I guessed a major part of the twist early on. That didn’t spoil my enjoyment though and, as the story progressed, there was so much more than I expected. I was gripped throughout. I very much look forward to the next offering by Peter James.

Welcome back, Peter!
After two sub par stories, I was delighted to listen to this excellent new edition. Although a couple of parts could be deemed ‘unbelievable’, it is a great work of fiction and I couldn’t wait to get back to it every time I put it down.
There seemed to be a mistake in the dates (funeral scheduled for Monday the 13th September which couldn’t have been I think it should have been 30th) but overall a great listen and enjoyable story, like the good old days! Well done, Peter.

Ludicrous climax
Not up to previous books. Decent narration but the climactic scene was so ludicrous and corny as to pull the decent bits of the book down. Also how so many trained detectives could miss so many clues screaming for discovery was also frustrating.

The Best of the DEAD.....
I have listened to eight of Peter James' "DEAD" books with the infamous Detective Superintendent Roy Grace.
After listening to this audiobook, LEFT YOU DEAD is now my favorite title of this series.
The book was fast-paced and impossible to put down, with no shortage of exciting and compelling twists and turns.
LEFT YOUR DEAD is book 17 and I am proud to report that talented (and prolific!) author Peter James has not lost his mojo.
Daniel Weyman did a superb job with the narration.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Peter James is now working on Book 18.
