About this ebook

Wish You Were Dead is a Quick Read short story from bestselling author Peter James.

Roy Grace and his family have left Sussex behind for a week’s holiday in France. The website promised a grand house, but when they arrive the place is very different from the pictures. And it soon becomes clear that their holiday nightmare is only just beginning.

An old enemy of Roy, a lowlife criminal he had put behind bars, is now out of jail – and out for revenge. He knows where Roy and his family have gone on holiday. Of course he does. He’s been hacking their emails – and they are in the perfect spot for him to pay Roy back . . .

Not a very big fan of this story. The main lead seemed so out of character in this story. Roy Grace is usually portrayed as a smart person, very cautious and doesn't just dismiss stuff easily. But in this novel, he became a stereotypical horror movie character who did all of those silly stuff just bc of the plot I feel. The whole story is somewhat predictable too
