Following its world premiere this summer, a stage play of Looking Good Dead, starring Adam Woodyatt in the lead role, is set for a run at Brighton's Theatre Royal in October. Running alongside this storyline, Roy has a lot going on in his work and personal life. Unusually for these books, I went through a range of emotions as the story focussed on these other stories and found myself moved to tears at times.

DS Roy Grace, DI Glenn Branson, and their team are assigned the disappearance, and their investigation reveals that nothing is as it originally seems. Left you Dead is much more than a police procedural. Grace's personal life plays a huge part in this one and it is an extremely emotional read. No spoilers, but it will break your heart.
