Dead Jealous

Calladine and Bayliss, Book 7

De: Helen H. Durrant

Narrado por: Jonathan Keeble

Two mothers have lost their daughters - 17 years apart. Can Detective Calladine bring them justice?

A teenage girl’s body is found in the back of a car on the notorious Hobfield housing estate. No one had reported her missing, but she’s been dead for a week.

Meanwhile, an old jar is brought into the station. It was found carefully wrapped in a blanket, with a child’s pink hairclip. The jar contains ashes and bone fragments.

Seventeen years ago, Detective Tom Calladine had been part of a team investigating the disappearance of Jessica Wilkins. Her mother had taken her to Leesdon Park one summer afternoon. She went to get the child an ice cream, and when she returned her daughter was gone. Over the years there were no sightings, no witnesses - nothing. Will there finally be closure for this unsolved mystery?

And why was the girl found in the car killed, and why are her friends not telling the police the whole story?

Detectives Tom Calladine and Ruth Bayliss will unravel a web of lies and pain in this fast-moving and gripping crime mystery.

GREAT!

This must be my favorite mystery writer, and favorite narrator for Ms. Durrant's mysteries. I hope she'll write more in this, or other, series, and also hope that Audible will have Mr. Keeble narrate them.

Wonderful...

I liked Tom Calladine much better in this book. I like that he can be more confused than loud and hateful, like he was in the last one.

This was about a sixteen-year-old girl that was murdered. A bully that was murdered, which made an entire apartment building happy. And a 17-year-old cold case that was very sad and surprising.

Believe or not Calladine didn’t have a girlfriend in this book. BUT he did meet his new neighbor so I’m sure that’ll be in the next book.

No romance and no swearing.

As to the narration: Love, love, love Jonathan Keeble. He does such a great job on the voices and his reading emotions. He also read the 14 DCI Ryan books by LJ Ross and he’s just as good in all those.
