Looking for a brilliant bestselling crime mystery with great detectives?

DETECTIVES CALLADINE AND BAYLISS HUNT FOR A MISSING CHILD IN A MYSTERY WITH A SHOCKING ENDING.

Sophie Alder is the three-year-old daughter of local factory owner, Richard Alder. Richard and his wife Annie are locals from the rough housing estate who’ve made it big.

Plus, there’s a crime wave in Leesworth and the police can’t cope. One thief even dares to break into Calladine’s house.

A number of local men have formed a vigilante group. On one of their patrols they catch the burglar and he ends up dead.

The investigation is complicated and the detectives keep hearing about a shadowy figure called “Street”, the mastermind behind the increase in drugs and theft.

With two more murders and Calladine’s personal life in turmoil, the detectives race against time to find “Street” and the missing child.

IN AN ENDING WITH A HUGE TWIST, THE DETECTIVES FIND EVERYTHING THEY BELIEVED IS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN.

If you like Angela Marsons, Rachel Abbott, Mel Sherratt, Ruth Rendell, or Mark Billingham you will enjoy this exciting new crime fiction writer.

DEAD GUILTY is book nine of a new series of detective thrillers featuring D.S. Ruth Bayliss and D.I. Tom Calladine.

Ruth Bayliss is in her mid-thirties, plain-speaking but loyal. She is balancing her professional life with looking after a small child.

THE SETTING
The fictional village of Leesdon is on the outskirts of an industrial northern English city. There is little work and a lot of crime. The bane of Calladine’s life is the Hobfield housing estate, breeding ground to all that is wrong with the area that he calls home.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Helen sets her books in the area she has lived in for many years. The towns and villages that sit in the shelter of the Pennine hills. This is an area between two counties, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and between the city and the hills. It offers a rich mix of the industrial and the countryside and all the character therein.

Helen always planned to write crime novels. But until she retired from full-time work in a local further education college, it had to go on the back burner. Once she did retire - there was no excuse. She now writes full-time. Retirement proper will have to wait!

Currently there are ten books in the 'Calladine & Bayliss' series available - Dead Wrong, Dead Silent, Dead List, Dead Lost, Dead & Buried, Dead Nasty, Dead Jealous, Dead Bad, Dead Guilty and the latest - Dead Wicked.

There is also a box set of the first three books.

Also available are four books in the 'DI Greco' series - Dark Murder, Dark Houses, Dark Trade, and the latest - Dark Angel.

The four DI Greco books are available as a box set at a bargain price.

There are two books in the DI Matt Brindle series - His Third Victim and The Other Victim.

The DCI Rachel King series has four books - Next Victim , Two Victims, Wrong Victim and Forgotten Victim.

There are currently two books in the Lennox & Wilde series, The Guilty Man, The Faceless Man.

The entire Calladine & Bayliss series are also available as a boxset.

Good, well researched police thriller

I have enjoyed the complete this complete series of books featuring Calledine and Bayliss . They make a great team with their partnership well written and believable. I must confess I guessed the ending 3/4 of the way through but found it enjoyed nonetheless watching how they worked it out. This book features child abduction, murder and drug dealing, several strands running concurrently and creating a satisfyingly engaging book

OK but not one of her best - sorry,

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 July 2019

A decent story by Helen Durrant but not one of her best I’m afraid. Whilst I enjoyed the book, the number of typos and mistakes became annoying! There was even at least a couple of occasions where the dialogue was completely wrong (attributed to the wrong person) and the presence of one character (Joanne) seemed completely unnecessary and her role and knowledge of events was not properly explained. Having read all of Ms Durrant’s books, this ranks fairly low on the list. Any reader though should read her Calladine & Bayliss books in order to get the intricacies of this story.

Very intriguing. Once I got into the "before" and "real time" story telling presentation, I found it difficult to put the book down. A must read for all murder mystery fans.

Helen Durrant is a fantastic fiction writer who's story telling has you so gripped it's impossible to put down and she is responsible for many sleepless nights due to the fact that I have to finish the story. Anyone who likes murder/mystery/serial killers will enjoy reading this author's books and I would recommend starting from Dead Wrong book 1 as there is an underlining story as you progress through the books.

Tom and Ruth have their hands full. A missing child and drugs being distributed are only the start of what proves to be a tricky case.
From the very start of the book Helen H Durrant has written a story which hits the ground running and doesn't stop until the very end. Full of twists and turns Dead Guilty is a brilliant read.
Highly recommended.

I thought I knew the instigator of the murders. However my thoughts changed as we progressed through the excellently written book and I was still wrong. A very good book which I finished in the middle of the night as I could not sleep until I knew who did it.

The 9th book in the Helen Durrant, Calladine & Bayliss series. Great reading as Calladine struggles to find the head of a drug dealing ring known as ‘Street’. A few twists on the way but eventually Calladine is successful. The only disappointment was that I sussed it out before he did.
