One Of Us Is Dead by Peter James – when James Taylor arrives late for a funeral, he has to stand at the back of the small church. As the service progresses, however, Taylor notices a man six rows in front of him. At first he thinks he must be mistaken, but the more he looks at the man, the more convinced Taylor becomes that this is his old school friend 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!!
Peter James never fails to thrill his readers. Right from the get/go he draws us into the life and times of Detective Superintendent Roy Grace. The reader not only follows the current case and its twists and turns, highs and lows, but is also shown glimpses of his private life to remind us that, like the average man in the street, he has a life outside work. Both this aspect, and those of his colleagues, remind us that he is much like the rest of us, and yet often exposed to unimaginable danger. In the real world, where would we be without our police force, rescue teams, ambulance staff and firemen?
Always thrilling, and often thought-provoking, James is up there with the best!
Must read crime for 2024!
