Then another body is found dumped in a lake up in the hills. The same gruesome murder method is used.

And guess who the detectives’ new boss is? The incredibly difficult Stephen Greco.

A twisted killer...and a wicked twist.

Meanwhile Ruth Bayliss’ personal life is falling apart, and someone is targeting local businesses with ransomware.

The prime suspect is a criminal Calladine thought he’d seen the last of.

I can't believe that I found this series by chance. I listened to the first four books, what a treat it was having them included in your membership, and then I was hooked. I've ended up listening to all 10 books in the space of a week. I love that they are so true to the social mix of urban life I am used to. The relationship between Calladine and Bayliss is just right as is their relationship with the rest of the team, they gel so well and so when tragedy does strike at the heart you feel the sence of loss as much as the characters do.

I would highly recommend this series starting with book 1. A big shout out to the narrator who along with the stories themselves is the reason that I've been coming back for more. I really hope this is not the end and Helen continues the series.

FANTASTIC ! ! !

This instalment is jam packed, following the departure of the previous DCI we see DI Calladine as acting DCI which he hates. His name was put forward to fill the post on a permanent basis but Calladine much prefers to be out in the field in the thick of things and not bogged down by paperwork.

Well his replacement is the freakishly neat, and difficult to get on with DCI Greco.

The case has multiple elements going on, there is murder, bearing all the hallmarks of a newly released convict, kidnapping including a member directly related to Calladine, not to mention drugs and cyber attacks on companies

As usual Tom’s love life is chaos but Ruth love life changes and she is fighting an attraction to a new member

Calladine has a hunch who the killer is and he is hiding in plain sight which puts a team member in danger, will Calladine and his team save the day…..
