Seventeen years ago a young mother pushed her baby's tram to the park. She thought the bay was sleeping, so she walked away to get some ice cream. When she came back the baby was gone. Calladine investigated that disappearance at the time, but now the case has been reopened. Meanwhile, a teenaged girl's decomposing body is found in the trunk of a car; and the local bully is stabbed and bushed off a balcony. To make matters even worse for Calladine, Bayliss' parter wants them to move to the south of the country. How will he ever get along without her? A lot bad stuff is going on and very little evidence and nobody is talking. Will Calladine and Bayliss be able to figure it out in the end? Once again Durrant has written an engaging, page-turning book. This book will stand alone, but to really appreciate this cast of characters, I recomend that you start with the first book and read all seven. If you don't, you might not enjoy the characters and all they've gone through together. I so hope Durrant intends to continue with this series. I know she's started another, but what if it's not as good as this one and I'm disappointed? Guess I'll just have to give the first one a try and see how it goes.

A very good story, not unrealistic like a lot of mystery/crime books. It was suspenseful, but a little anti-climatic. Overall a good read though!
Another reason I only gave 4 stars is because the last couple of chapters were printer crooked and the spine started to tear apart.

What an excuse 'I saw red', is being mad a reason to kill someone? How about being green eyes jealous? Seem like people are being murdered for one of those reasons.

Goodreading.

I like the family side of all Helen's stories,but I did not like the direction this book went
Sorry,but still good reading

Definitely a series for the murder mystery lover. Can't wait for the next book in the series. Loved the three for one this time, and how ever things seems to relate.

Can't wait

This is too foreign of both characters and vocabulary. I was forever trying to catch up with the characters as there was no background given. I found it at end of the book.Read more
