Book Review: Left You Dead, by Peter James (and your chance to win a copy)
I’m not sure where my fascination for the morose comes from but after reading the blurb for Peter James’ novel Left You Dead, the latest in his long-running series following Detective Superintendent Roy Grace, I instantly thought ‘this sounds like me.’
