About this listen

Detectives Calladine and Bayliss hunt for a missing child in a mystery with a shocking ending.

Sophie Alder is the three-year-old daughter of local factory owner, Richard Alder. Richard and his wife Annie are locals from the rough housing estate who’ve made it big.

Plus, there’s a crime wave in Leesworth and the police can’t cope. One thief even dares to break into Calladine’s house.

A number of local men have formed a vigilante group. On one of their patrols they catch the burglar and he ends up dead.

The investigation is complicated and the detectives keep hearing about a shadowy figure called 'Street', the mastermind behind the increase in drugs and theft.

With two more murders and Calladine’s personal life in turmoil, the detectives race against time to find 'Street' and the missing child.

In an ending with a huge twist, the detectives find everything they believed is turned upside down.

If you like Angela Marsons, Rachel Abbott, Mel Sherratt, Ruth Rendell or Mark Billingham you will enjoy this exciting new crime fiction writer.

Dead Guilty is book nine of a new series of detective thrillers featuring D.S. Ruth Bayliss and D.I. Tom Calladine.

I have all of the books so far and have just finished this one. The plus side of the books are the main characters that you really can invest in. The stories are interesting if, in my opinion, too short with the ending being sorted rather too quickly after a well rolled out story. Am I the only person that wonders if the author is getting lazy using basically the same twist/device in each of the last thee books? Using it once is a good twist, twice is lazy but three times, in my opinion, is disrespecting the reader. I have one more book in the series to listen to, hopefully the device will not be used in this one otherwise it will be my last.
As usual the narrator does a great job.
