About this listen
Dive into Brighton’s darkest corners in Death Comes Knocking – uncovering the true crimes that inspire the bestselling Roy Grace series, by Peter James and long-serving detective Graham Barlett.
Fans of Peter James and his bestselling Roy Grace series of crime novels know that his books draw on in-depth research into the lives of Brighton and Hove police and are set in a world every bit as gritty as the real thing. His friend Graham Bartlett was a long-serving detective in the city once described as Britain's 'crime capital'. Together, in Death Comes Knocking, they have written a gripping account of the city's most challenging cases, taking the reader from crime scenes and incident rooms to the morgue, and introducing some of the real-life detectives who inspired Peter James's characters.
Bartlett and James skillfully navigate the perilous journey through Brighton's criminal past from tracking the antique trade's notorious 'knocker boys' to uncovering the cold calculation of a surfer's execution, each case skilfully evokes the dangerous inside story of policing, the personal toll it takes and the dedication of those who risk their lives to keep the public safe.
Ready yourself for an unforgettable expedition into Brighton's sinister past in Death Comes Knocking. A world of danger, dedication, and true crimes await.

Brilliant - definitely recommend
brilliant book. I found that this 'gelled' all the Roy Grace books- it gives the other real life accounts of the characters and stories in the books

Excellent book
An excellent 'autobiography'. A real insight into the way the Brighton police force was led by Graham Bartlett and his numerous predecessors. Well worth reading!

Very interesting read.
Really enjoyed this. Gives good insights into policing Brighton. Amusing in parts and moving in others. I've read all the Roy Grace series and am a fan of Peter James' but interjections relating to his books started to get a bit tiresome towards the end and felt more like plugs than adding anything to the book.

Crime behind the scenes
An interesting and informative account of real policing of Peter James’
Brighton.
Truth can indeed be as strange and incredible as fiction.

DISAPPOINTING
If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
Can not think of anyone who hasn't read Peter James, due to the constant references to his novels
What was most disappointing about Graham Bartlett and Peter James ’s story?
I believe Peter James's contribution to this book was to advertise his Roy Grace Novels
What three words best describe Daniel Weyman’s voice?
Relaxing, believable, listenable
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Death Comes Knocking?
All references to Roy Grace novels by Peter James
Any additional comments?
Having read/listened and enjoyed all the Roy Grace books I thought it sad that Peter James felt the necessity to promote his novels in this way.

Not an easy book to get into
I am very much an admirer of Peter James and his Roy Grace series but whether it be the narrator or the story, I found this book really hard to get into. For me, as a former police officer, very hard to get into
