GoodReads ★★ Another old case plays an important role in the eight book of the Calladine & Bayliss series, which is something that has been used a couple of times now in the series.

GoodReads ★★★ Dead List is the third major case for Calladine & Bayliss. Another string of dreadful murders, all linked through tarot cards. I cannot help but wonder when I read this, why does the murderer make it so easy to connect the murders? If one wanted to stay uncaught, would it not be way... Continue Reading →
