About this deal

Enjoy more of the Brighton detective’s investigations with Dead Simple, Looking Good Dead and Not Dead Enough.

If you are after a compelling police procedural with a likeable main character you can't go past Left You Dead. Other plot points seemed to be mentioned (several times) alluding to some big twist, but again, they went nowhere. Niall Paternoster waits in the car while his wife, Eden, nips into the local supermarket for cat litter, but she never comes back. The information that Detective Superintendent Roy Grace got at the end of the last book that would get rid of his nemesis comes into play - but nothing is happening with it.Battling with a personal tragedy and a repugnant boss, Roy Grace is stretched to his absolute limits.

Twisty-turny surprises populate the book alongside superb characters and although this is very much a domestic-based thriller, James manages to make it original and nail biting. The case of the Paternoster’s is an interesting one, it builds well , with plenty of contradictory evidence with several twists in the plotting, one or two I do foresee but it doesn’t spoil the enjoyment. Grace and his team investigate multiple hypotheses - is she dead, and if so who killed her, or is she missing? This book presented us with a very clever and engaging mystery that shape shifted every time we looked at it.He drives home hoping to find her there but all is quiet in the house, he rings family and friends but still no luck. Niall Paternoster drops his wife Eden at Tesco in Brighton while he parks and waits in the car and that’s the last he sees of her. The characters within the case are great and provide plenty of secrets and lies to work through in trying to find out what happened.
