Love You Dead (novel), Peter James

 This is the twelfth Roy Grace novel and, for me, the most enjoyable so far. I'm not sure why I found it so but possible reasons include:

• the circumstances of several murders are inherently interesting;
• the murder victims, if not all actually horrible, are at least irredeemably stupid;
• Roy comes clean to his friends and family about the secret in his past;
• a large component of the secret is revealed (though new problems are foreshadowed); and
• a number of bad eggs get their right whack.
