Summary

A girl’s body is found in a dustbin. 'Dead Meat' is written on a note found with her.

The girl was part of a group of bullies from the local school. But DI Calladine recognises the MO of Craig Donnelly, a killer he thought he’d put away forever. And coincidentally Donnelly has just been released from prison. But when Detective Calladine charges in, he finds out that Donnelly has a watertight alibi and is under the protection of the local vicar, who thinks Donnelly is a changed man.

When another girl goes missing from the same group of friends, Calladine must look elsewhere for the killer and comes across a sinister online predator who was in touch with all the girls. DS Ruth Bayliss is back from maternity leave, but even her skills and common sense can’t crack the case.

In a race against time, they must stop the killer, someone who may even be close to home, before he continues his vicious killing spree.

Gripping and emotional

Another great one in this series and narrator is excellent. I had a short break from Calladine and listened to absolutely terrible Greco series in meantime so this was a blissful come back to fantastic J Keeble, fast paced storyline, intelligent and dedicated detectives. Sad ending but I expected it as there was a spoiler in Greco series.

Dead Nasty

A good story and full of tension. The description of cruelty prior to the deaths I found too much. Apart from the torture scenes I liked the book and it was well told.

pacey thriller

Well written tale with plenty of twists. Jonathan Keeble is an excellent reader and gives each character its own voice without sounding stretched. Very good thanks

*Gut Wrenching*

I found this book very hard to stop reading, this case is full of twists and turns galore.

DI Callandine is back in his element because DS Ruth Bayliss his loyal straight talking sidekick is back from maternity leave.

Tom’s mood is changed after hearing that a known criminal Craig Donnelly has just been released early. Then a young school girl has been murdered in the most gruesome way and the MO is very similar to Donnelly’s.

Donnelly is being protected by a vicar who showed him how to be a model inmate in order to be released. Tom’s hunch is that ex con is in it right up to his neck. The problem is proving it. In the end Tom is forced to look elsewhere and another suspect is in the frame but it does not feel right.

How will they crack the case? Also a member of the team is in grave danger

Another really good book

I was sad, but a good story, I am beginning to think Calerdine is a bit of a sex maniac himself, the end made me giggle, when it was so sad though... You must listen to the story to understand what I mean. Thank you.
