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.

Ratings and reviews

Another exiting page turner. I've read all the Roy Grace books up to this one and become familiar with all the characters. I don't want to spoil it but I was almost in tears halfway through this. On to the next one now. *****

Another exciting triller with Roy Grace. With another cliff hanger ending regarding ex wife Sandy. I would have liked to know how he was listening in to Red. Was it the bracelet? It never came off and he could hear her everywhere. Is this story to be continued? If so I hope Red clues up a bit and agrees not to stay home alone. Even in an unsafe safe room. That was a bit odd. Reinforced unlockable doors but they dont check the ceiling?? Apart from that I loved it. Want the next one asap.

Gripped by first half, but interest tailed off 3/4 way through
