Sycamore Gap: A DCI Ryan Mystery: Volume 2 (The DCI Ryan Mysteries)

Product Information

Nonetheless, it is the vintage crime authors such as Agatha Christie and Daphne du Maurier, which have had the most influence on her work with her DCI Ryan Mysteries. After practicing law for nearly ten years in London, the stressful environment and the long hours began to take their toll. It's a fast paced mystery with clues sprinkled here and there. There is a bit of suspense left at the end ..which I believe denotes there may be another book coming ..soon, I hope. The Holy Island mystery was cleared up, and The Circle was thought to have disbanded, but no, they lived to fight another day, and by golly, they’re a nasty lot. There’s minimal discussion of cult ceremonies – it’s not that sort of book – but just enough to know the High Priest wields enormous power and influence with his satanic practices. And there's deadly competition within the cult. There’s not a lot of blood and gore, just enough to be cringe-worthy. The series begins with him being the only member of an elite criminal profiling unit to escape from a storm of scandal and mismanagement. He is adamant he will begin a quiet life, but a murderer loose in the beautiful hills of County Mayo, Ireland draws him into the murder investigation to aid the Garda. Will the Circle be unbroken? Or will DCI Maxwell Ryan finally split up the tightly twisted, tangled cult that has haunted Northumbria and eluded Ryan and his team for far too long. Wait! Ryan is still serving his suspension by Superintendent Gregson. Not only that, but when a man is found dead in the old Heavenfield Church, Ryan is the only person in the vicinity and finds himself involved in a scrum to clear himself of suspicion.

With a passion for writing and reading, a writing career seemed the most plausible way to express her creativity. The idea for the first novel in the series came while she was traveling to Edinburgh with her husband. I recommend it highly and thank Booklover Catlady Publicity and the author for my preview copy. This is even better than Holy Island: A DCI Ryan Mystery, which I rated 4.5★. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... Prominent higher-ups in the Circle begin to die, one right after the other. And Ryan is next on the list. Ross publishes all of her works independently through Dark Skies Publishing, a publishing imprint set up and managed by Ross and her husband. [7] Personal life [ edit ]

Autorės sprendimas sujungti pirmosios knygos detales ir senesnes Rajano bylas, man patiko. Abi knygos, o ir įtariu, kad visa serija, parašytos labai pagauliai, įvykiai rutuliojasi greitai, todėl skaityti nenuobodu. Savotiško žavesio prideda ir mistiškos, istorinės vietos, kuriose vyksta veiksmas. ⠀ Gregory galivants across the world in this series, from Ireland to France to New York City and more. In this series Ross’s writing is described as her usual murder and mystery peppered with dark humour. The first novel in her Alexander Gregory Thrillers series, Impostor, was shortlisted in the British Book Awards 2020: Crime & Thriller Book of the Year. The audiobook of Impostor, narrated by Hugh Dancy, was also selected as a finalist in the New York Festivals Radio Awards, Best Fiction Audiobook of the Year Category.

Norėjosi nerti dar giliau į kulto "reikalus" ir tradicijas. O taip pat dar labiau norisi išlukštenti pagrindinį knygų serijos personažą - Rajeną. Viliuosi, jog dar yra ką lukštenti ir galėsime susidaryti platesnį vaizdą. We spend time with Ryan and Anna, and I really like how easy they talk about the killings and Ryan doesn’t try to sugarcoat things “to protect her.” I do get tired of heroes always trying to protect the heroines, like the heroines are made of glass, or something. And, Ryan finally tells Anna about his sister and how Edwards killed Natalie, it was sad. When it was told what actually happened that day (Ryan was dreaming) it was really horrible, what Edwards did to Natalie. And later Ryan told Anna about going to see Edwards so Anna decided NOT to tell him she felt like she was being watched that day. Duh! AND Edwards is still an important player in this story, even if he is in prison. LJ Ross is an internationally bestselling author, whose books have sold over 7 million copies worldwide.

Ross didelį dėmesį skiria taip pat ir svarbioms istorinėms vietoms, nes būtent tokiose vietose Rajenui ir tenka darbuotis. Kalbant apie patį detektyvą Rajeną, tai, tenka pasikartoti, nes ir antrojoje dalyje man nenatūraliai pavaizduotas tiek detektyvas, tiek jo asmeniniai romantiški santykiai. Tačiau labai įdomu buvo sužinoti apie jo asmeninius įvykius, kurie vyko dar prieš “Šventąją salą”.

DCI Ryan and his now girlfriend, Anna, were introduced to us in Holy Island: A DCI Ryan Mystery. Both books are self-contained mysteries (in case you stumble on the second one first), but it’s satisfying to watch the characters develop as the stories progress. Detective Chief Inspector Ryan believes he has put his turbulent history behind him. Then, in the early hours of the summer solstice, the skeleton of a young woman is found inside the Roman Wall at Sycamore Gap. She has lain undiscovered for ten years and it is Ryan's job to piece together her past. Finally, LJ Ross has also published an anthology of short stories from various authors with the intent to inspire hope and happiness. All proceeds from the sale of this book are donated to Shelter. This is a charity that helps people struggling with homelessness and poor housing throughout Great Britain. Never thought of that, did you? You stopped yourself. You brought him in, even though everything inside you wanted to finish him, to take your revenge or whatever you want to call it. You did the right thing.’ This is a very tense thriller, and I felt that it was just that little bit darker than the first book. It was a fantastic follow up and has left me desperate for the next one.
