One Of Us Is Dead (Roy Grace)

The latest race-against-time instalment of the award-winning Grace series by Peter James, now a major BRITBOX show.

Hunting him would be murder . . .

When James Taylor arrives late for a funeral, he has to stand at the back of the small church. But as the service progresses, Taylor notices a man six rows in front of him. At first he thinks he must be mistaken, but the more he looks at him, the more convinced Taylor becomes that this is his old schoolfriend, Rufus Rorke.

Except it couldn’t be him, could it? Because two years ago, Taylor attended Rufus Rorke’s funeral. He even delivered Rufus’s eulogy. . .

On the other side of Brighton at Police HQ, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace has been alerted to a number of suspicious deaths that he can’t get out of his mind. But how are they linked? And how could they possibly be connected to Rufus Rorke?

Roy Grace is about to find out just how dangerous a dead man can be . . .

I picked this up in an effort to read some of the paper books I own. I had received it as a gift.

I enjoyed the story. I loved the way we were guessing until the end. Not only were we guessing the killer, but we were also guessing the victim.

I recommend this book.

I'm generally not a fan of books written from multiple character's first person perspectives, I find it somewhat confusing if not done right, but Jeneva Rose did well with this book. I wasn't able to guess what was going to happen in the end. This will definitely be one I read multiple times. Loved it.

Real housewives murder mystery. The characters are realistic and make you feel like your in the salon. The drama isn't usually my cup of tea, but it was enjoyable! Side note, the audio book helped me keep track of the characters since the chapters jump from person to person
