About this listen
Detective Superintendent Roy Grace faces his most mysterious case yet in the gripping crime novel Need You Dead, by award winning author Peter James.
Lorna Belling, desperate to escape the marriage from hell, falls for the charms of a man who promises her the earth. But, as Lorna soon finds, life seldom follows the plans you’ve made.
When the body of a woman is found, Grace is called to the scene. At first it looks an open-and-shut case with a clear prime suspect. That is, until Grace realizes there is a darker, far more terrifying alternative . .
Although the Roy Grace novels can be read in any order, Need You Dead is the thirteenth title in the bestselling series. Enjoy more of the Brighton detective’s investigations with Dead If You Don’t and Dead at First Sight.
Now a major ITV series, Grace, starring John Simm.

Critic reviews
The narration by Daniel Weyman is, as you would expect from him, very good. In the book's most exciting scenes towards the end the combination of James's words and this narrator provided top-notch audiobook entertainment. The one downside is that previous narrators from a few books ago, while not as good overall, did give Branson's character a bit more oomph and he suffers as a result.
There is quite a lot about Grace's back story in this but less about the other characters than usual. We do spend a little bit of quality time getting down and dirty in the Potting shed but not enough for this reader at least. So, in all, this one isn't too bad. It does contain some of the trademarks qualities of the overall series but didn't build the tension in anything like the same way as the best of them. There are some exciting moments but not the sense of building excitement and dread that some of the books have managed. That said, the ending setup a promise of something a bit special for the next one hinting that one of my favourite villains may be coming back for more . . .
