Roy Grace is back in the brilliant twentieth novel from the multi million copy bestselling author.

Hunting him would be murder.

When James Taylor arrives late for a funeral, he has to stand at the back of the small church. 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 Rufuss 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…

Review:

Sharp, meticulous, and sinister!

In this twisty twenty-first instalment in the Roy Grace series, One of Us is Dead, DS Roy Grace and his team now find themselves investigating a series of questionable deaths that strangely somehow all seem to be connected to one man, Rufus Rorke, who died two years ago.

The prose is crisp and rich. The characters are intelligent, resourceful, and determined. And the plot, including all the subplots, intertwine and unravel seamlessly into a mysterious tale of mischief, mayhem, corruption, coercion, criminal behaviour, dangerous endeavours, deduction, lies, and murder.

Overall, One of Us is Dead is another crafty, dark, gripping addition to a series by James that is still one of my all-time favourites to frequently revisit and indulge in.
