DEAD SILENT a gripping detective thriller full of suspense (Calladine & Bayliss Mystery Book 2)

Product Information

I think this had some bearing on me only giving this four stars as I'd enjoyed the case in book 3 so much and there were parts of the characters stories I knew outcomes to already too. I will keep reading because I like the characters Durrant has created, and it's interesting to see how they work to solve the cases they're investigating. Having been married and divorced before the age of twenty-one has set a pattern that he finds difficult to escape.

As that is not possible, I have awarded four stars rather than three as the story certainly held my interest throughout. The plot doesn't quite hold together; the hunt for a serial killer only becomes an issue when bodies start turning up.The only saving grace is then are shorter than the average novel but therein lies a further problem.

Longer isn't always better but in an extended format a book tends to have more than a passing interest. Again we have descriptions of torture and gore but for me this didn’t detract from my listening experience.It may be quite realistic; they are both married to the job, but it makes me want to shake them both! A more coherent effort than the first book, Dead Wrong, but still suffering from the issues of uneven pacing and poorly drawn supporting characters. Although, if you look at how many are in the series, I'm sure you can figure out how it ends for at least one character.
