In Peter James' You Are Dead, the last words Jamie Ball hears from his fiancée, Logan Somervile, are in a terrified mobile phone call from her. She has just driven into the underground car park beneath the apartment block where they live in Brighton, and seen a man acting strangely. Then she screams and the phone goes dead. The police are on the scene within minutes, but Logan has vanished, leaving behind her neatly parked car and cell phone.
That same afternoon, workmen digging up an old asphalt path in a park in another part of the city, unearth the remains of a young woman in her early twenties, who has probably been dead for 30 years.
At first, to Detective Superintendent Roy Grace and his Major Crime Team, these two events seem totally unconnected. But then another young woman in Brighton goes missing and another body from the past surfaces. At the same time a strange man visits an eminent London psychiatrist, claiming to have a piece of information on the missing woman, Logan, that turns out, at first, to be wrong-or so it seems. It is only later Roy Grace makes the chilling realization that this one thing is the key to both the past and the present-and now, beyond any doubt, he knows that Brighton has its first ever serial killer.

"Fanatically well-researched. . . . This is no guts-and-gore potboiler, but a meticulous study of police work." - New York Times Book Review
“May just be [Peter James'] best yet. . . . Truly masterful. . . . James is a master of background noises and images. . . . [which] lure the reader into the already compelling but often disturbing mesh of his narrative. . . . A book you really can't put down!” ―Huffington Post
“Carefully crafted, realistic characters make this entry a standout.” ―Publishers Weekly starred review
"A mighty good read. . . . James is a good storyteller, able to mix in proper amounts of mystery and suspense." -Booklist

You Are Dead is number 11 and for a change, I bought the Audible version. I was hooked throughout.Grace is settled with Cleo and his son, Noah and they're about to move home when he's called in to lead on a missing person case. One disappearance leads to another and it soon becomes a major incident. James is excellent at the police procedural aspect. Developments play out in short sharp chapters in what feels like real time, keeping the pace and tension tight. More than that, he also has great psychological insight into his characters. There's a sense of familiarity and continuity as the story picks up from events at the end of the previous book. This book works well as a stand alone, but there are threads throughout the series and sub plots continue to develop.I felt the plot was particularly well executed. There's a real sense of drama which builds to a literally heart pounding climax. Plus a further twist, but I'll reveal nothing more! The action is firmly rooted in Brighton. The strong sense of location as the story unfolds reinforces both plot and characters.I'm enjoying the way Grace is changing as a character. He's again troubled by conflict of loyalty and duty, home versus work, present versus past, old rivalries and new beginnings. He's torn on more than one occasion and there's an interesting development in the Sandy story. His work colleagues feature again and I'm interested in how their lives move forward. So all in all, this is yet another first class winner. I enjoyed it and was left wanting more.

When told YOU ARE DEAD could be read without going back and catching up I took it with a grain of salt. It’s not an easy thing, to pick up a series so far in and not feel a bit lost or feel the loss of the history, all the interactions and events that have occurred. Color me surprised when it turned out to be true.Roy Grace is a protagonist who’s easy to like. Well seasoned and mature, he’s no stranger to heartache. His first wife, Sandy, disappeared ten years prior. But now he’s re-married, has a young son, Noah, and is moving to the country. Despite all these fresh starts, the intervening years, and his love for Cleo and Noah, Sandy is never far from his thoughts.The Sandy –missing wife- subplot was, truth be told, as intriguing to me as the murder mystery, maybe even a little more.Grace’s Major Crime Team is like a small family but his new boss is a PITA. That’s often the case but there’s more than a personality clash in this situation.As a reader whose first experience with procedurals were Ed McBain’s 87th Precinct and Dell Shannon’s Luis Mendoza’s, the demonstrativeness Grace shows with members of his team, especially Glenn Branson, took some getting used to. Given his close relationship with police Mr. James is likely dead on but still…..The sections told from the killer’s perspective are creepy as Mr. James takes readers on short trips to the past to witness the evolution of a serial killer. The devils in the details and they’re there. Part of the appeal of mysteries is trying to figure everything out. While the “who” wasn’t difficult, the one aspect I was completely off in the weeds on was much more disturbing than I’d imagined when revealed. Never in a million years would that have occurred to me.There’s one thing that strikes me every time I read or watch a contemporary mystery set in England, the prevalence of CCTV cameras. They’re as ubiquitous there as McDonald’s seem to be here.The Roy Grace series with its quick pace, provocative subplot(s), tangled relationships, and interesting characters is engaging and highly readable. Whether you start at the beginning or with YOU ARE DEAD, it’s easy to get hooked.Reviewed for Novels Alive TV
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Once you start reading, you won’t be able to stop By Bookreporter I treasure the Roy Grace series. Grace is the brainchild of Peter James, a British wordsmith who is unsurpassed in what he does and how he does it. He is a quietly obsessed Detective Superintendent with the Brighton, England police force. As fleshed out by James over the course of what is now 11 books, Grace is the type of investigator you would want on the case, should your loved one be a victim: methodical, driven and concise. He is no fool but nevertheless rushes in, although carefully (as seen at one point in this latest installment of the series).James does quite a bit in the space that is allotted to him within the bindings of a book, and somehow manages to do so without making the reader feel cramped or confused. That proposition is particularly well-demonstrated in YOU ARE DEAD, which gives the reader much more than an entertaining and complex mystery. The mystery, though, is more than enough to carry the novel, which begins with the brazen abduction of a young woman named Logan Somerville from her parking garage. The unexpected discovery of a long-moldering corpse at a construction site, almost simultaneously with Logan’s kidnapping, creates a pair of investigations for Grace that haunt his every minute.With regard to Logan, there has been no ransom note or further communication from the kidnapper. Everyone, particularly Grace and his Major Crime Team, fear the worst, given that few abductees who are not held for ransom survive for more than a day or two. Additionally, a woman who has had a propensity for going missing before vanished again a couple of weeks prior to Logan’s abduction. The similarity in appearance that the two missing females share makes Grace wonder if perhaps a serial abductor is operating. As for the unnamed corpse, Grace, as with the best of law enforcement, feels that it is his duty to stand for the dead and bring those who brought about their demise to justice.Meanwhile, a well-known psychiatrist, who is a relative of Logan’s, consults with a new and very eccentric patient who claims to have knowledge concerning Logan’s abduction. His information, though wrong (at least initially), ties in with that of the recently discovered corpse. It takes a bit of time before this is brought to Grace’s attention. In the meantime, yet another woman is abducted, even as a terrified Logan lies helpless in a makeshift casket awaiting her fate.Grace refuses to let life get in the way of his investigation, diverting the task of moving with his wife and son from their old home to a new residence in the country and navigating office politics, which has placed an old professional nemesis as his immediate superior. He also comes to learn that a woman lying comatose in a hospital bed in Germany may well be (and, in fact, is) Sandy, his long-vanished wife who had been declared dead. None of this deters Grace from his goals of saving Logan and bringing her abductor to justice, even as the clock ticks ever onward.James resolves all of the main issues presented in YOU ARE DEAD --- well, almost all of them --- but leaves enough plot threads dangling to make the wait until the next Grace book (and beyond) all but excruciating. Be warned: Once you start reading, you won’t be able to stop until you finish and will be impatient as you wait for its successor. It’s one of those rare agonies that you’ll thoroughly enjoy.Reviewed by Joe Hartlaub
