Summary
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.

Thrilling game of cat and mouse
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would, because it is engaging, realistic and has well fleshed out characters that you actually care about.
What other book might you compare Want You Dead to, and why?
Another entertaining crime thriller, such as The Murder Bag or the Apple Tree Yard. Has a kind of Fatal Attraction vibe with the genders reversed and much, much less 80's.
Have you listened to any of Daniel Weyman’s other performances? How does this one compare?
I haven't but he does an outstanding job, every voice is clearly defined and recognizable as a different character. His interpretation of Bryce sounds like Hugh Jackman incidentally.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
He will stop at nothing to unite them...in death.
I apologize for the cheesiness of that slogan, but it is what it is.
Any additional comments?
Worth a listen, but it won't change your life or ruin it. If you live in or near Brighton you might appreciate the geographical references, making it feel more real so definitely give it a shot.

not one of the author's best
Would you listen to Want You Dead again? Why?
No I never listen to books more than once.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Roy Grace of course!
What does Daniel Weyman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Ease of listening rather than reading myself.
Any additional comments?
The Sandy storyline is getting boring, its about time to resolve the background thread of her and her son.

Another great Roy Grace story
Peter James just keeps them coming. I don't understand the negative reviews. This is a gripping story. A really realistic stalker tale. A great sad piece included which made me feel emotional. The Cindy story continues and is very exciting. Only criticism is the voices all sound the same. Can't wait to read the next one

Not the best.
I like the Roy Grace series and this was fine but not the best. It did, however, move the whole Grace narrative on quite well with some resolutuioin on the German side which will obviously take Grace down some unexpected roads in future epidsodes. The main story was OK but fairly predictable and the villain not very believable. But it was a good read nevertheless.

Roy Grace escapes death again; for how long?
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes; Peter James' books are well-researched and have the ring of authenticity.
Who was your favorite character and why?
That is hard to say. Roy Grace is appealing but I do find Glen Branson interesting. Also, there is a kind of fascination with Sandy, the presumed-dead wife.
What about Daniel Weyman’s performance did you like?
He has a good voice and gets into the parts well.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Some of it made me laugh, but I did not want to cry. I am eager to find how the Sandy Lohmann story line continues.
Any additional comments?
I am looking forward to the next Roy Grace novel, which is probably the best recommendation.

Carry on its worth it!
I nearly gave up on this book after the first few chapter as I was sick of the "texts" and the constant referals to Reds sex life. But I persisted because I wanted to follow Grace, Sandy and Branson's story. I am so glad I did. It turned out to be another fantastic book. (Just doesn't need all the daft texts!)
