" A parent's worst nightmare is Grace's deadliest case" That is from the jacket of the book. I must say I agree.

Kip and his son attend Amex's new stadium with state of the art security when something goes terribly wrong. His son Mungo has disappeared and the text that follows says we have Mungo , don't go to the police.

There are so many facets to this book that interweave perfectly with each other, is merely a branch of the story and then it all comes together.

The murder count and the body count keep rising as Roy Grace and his team desperately try and save Mungo.

I loved all the characters, the parents were portrayed perfectly and you honestly thought you were right there with them as they wait frantically for news of their son.

You can feel Mungo's terror as the clock ticks quickly yet slowly and agonizingly .

The Albanians are crucial to the disappearance to the teenager.

The pages turn quickly and yet there is so much to learn and to take in.

Roy Grace is my favourite detective and he is my hero.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read Dead if You Don't.

If you aren't familiar with Roy Grace you are missing out.

Thanks to Netgalley for my copy.

This is no 14 in the series and I enjoyed this one so much more than the previous couple. This book focuses less on the family life of Grace and more on the police procedural and actual crimes.

There are many other reviews and the actual blurb of the plot and so I don't feel the need to repeat it here.

Peter James is meticulous in his research and his attention to detail and has many advisors from the Police service. However sometimes I do feel that there is so much detail in the explanation of the police procedures that I think I am reading a Police manual.
