High Force: A DCI Ryan Mystery (The DCI Ryan Mysteries Book 5)

Product Information

None of these is a tourist guide to a regional beauty spot. No, LJ Ross writes racy crime thrillers and these locations are where her DCI Ryan exercises his murder detective’s skills. After the birth of her son, Ross wrote the first draft of Holy Island, having been inspired by the atmospheric beauty of Lindisfarne, an island off the northeast coast of England she knew well from childhood. [12] Following its success, she now writes full-time. The second book in her series of DCI Ryan novels, Sycamore Gap, is set in Hadrian's Wall country [13] [14] and subsequent DCI Ryan novels continue the Northumbrian locations, with stories set in Northumberland, County Durham and Newcastle. I hadn’t thought so but my mum has this enormous chest of old things and it seems that I used to make books, stapling them together and illustrating them. I’d forgotten I’d done that. Norėjosi tik įspūdingesnės pabaigos. Žinant, kad susitiko du vienas kito verti priešininkai, paskutiniuose puslapiuose tikėjausi tikro sprogimo 💣

Ross was born and grew up in Ponteland, Northumberland, England. [10] She completed undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in law at King's College London, where she met her husband, and continued her studies in Paris and Florence. After spending most of her twenties working in the City as a lawyer, she began to feel it was time for change. [11] Publishing career [ edit ] By frantically digging through Edward's past, they find he changed his name at aged 16. Why and who paid for him to go to boarding school. LJ Ross is an internationally bestselling author, whose books have sold over 7 million copies worldwide. Bet kokiu atveju, serija tikrai nebloga - faina komanda, įspūdingos Anglijos vietovės ir gerai susuktos bylos. Vis dėl to, man tai mažiausiai patikusi serijos dalis. Kodėl? Kadangi jau nuo pat pirmų puslapių žinojau, kas tas blogiukas. Man labiausiai patinka skaityti, kaip po truputėlį narpliojamas nusikaltimas ir paaiškėja, kas tas blogiukas. Šį kartą buvo labiau trileris, o ne detektyvas.

Customer reviews

Thanks to the author's superb writing and excellent characterisation, this suspenseful book kept me on edge at all times. The murder scenes are quite gruesome and require a strong stomach. The author did a great job in portraying and building Denise's distress and hopelessness and the team's anguish and desperation in locating her before it's too late. We see Edwards bait his hook to trap Ryan, and we follow Ryan as he finds clues and tries to avoid the traps he spots. Meanwhile, Ross can’t help reminding us about Ryan’s overwhelming appeal. He arrives at a crime scene and approaches the female sergeant who has begun questioning witnesses. Just to give you a sense of his 'superpowers': I’d read a lot about people moving from the north to the south so the first thing in my mind was to have a southerner making his life in the north.” So, 5th book in the series and they just get better and better but I hated it because book 4 was a cliffhanger and I read it 9/2/16 and had to wait all this time to read the next. That wouldn’t be so bad if I hadn’t read 50 or 60+ books in between then and now. That’s why I hate cliffhangers and I wouldn’t have read book 4 if I’d known it was one. There was no sex in this book but the romantic feelings between Ryan and Anna was so sweet. And the F-bomb was used 2 times.
