Bamburgh: A DCI Ryan Mystery (The DCI Ryan Mysteries Book 19)

Product Information

The Bookseller magazine has reported on Louise having topped the ‘Most Read’ and ‘Most Sold’ fiction charts, and she has garnered an army of loyal fans who love her atmospheric and addictive storytelling. Then another body turns up amongst the sand dunes at the base of the mighty castle fortress, and he decides it can't be a coincidence. An enjoyably light murder mystery with likeable characters and an atmospheric setting, Bamburgh is a fast-paced whodunnit strengthened by strong police procedural and lots of humorous dialogue. There’s a body found near Bamburgh Castle and at first it looks like an accidental death but then Ryan realises there’s more to it. But 18 books later, Ryan and Anna's relationship is still going strong and I began to enjoy their chemistry much more easily.

But as Melanie delves deeper into the secrets of the past to uncover the truth, she soon realises it lies much closer to home. unfortunately, i just can’t rate this 5⭐️ — here we have a 3rd DCS that is corrupt (you learn this yourself from chapters from their perspective) and it just feels like the same plot is being recycled over and over again. The ending is dramatic and there is always the thought that she may not be able to avenge her sister but could end up dead herself. However, there will be another story after this one so maybe that one will answer some of my lingering questions. LJ Ross is an internationally bestselling author, whose books have sold over 7 million copies worldwide.I liked the idea of having the main character of the author’s Alexander Gregory Thrillers series pop up in DCI Ryan’s latest cases.

Optional Extra - Have your items come hand wrapped in brown paper packaging tied up with string and with their very own North East tourist tip. Shouldn’t a newly appointed DCS wanting to make you DS on his first day in the office, after hinting Ryan isn’t bothered, make the alarms in your head go off?

I'm a great admirer of L J Ross and have recommended her books to many friends and family but this was not one of her best. I thought the story line about another police chief psychopath - the third in that force - a little far fetched but in light of recent events about rogue police maybe, sadly, not. Murder and mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunnit, set amidst the spectacular Northumbrian landscape. The two Murder plots are interesting- but I believe that the love and connection between the main characters makes this book so enjoyable. The only reason I kept reading is because I think every book should be given a chance to redeem itself.

Royal Mail 24™ – the aim is to deliver your parcels the next working day upon handover in the United Kingdom. From the moment LJ Ross’s marvellous series about aristocratic copper DCI Ryan and his close-knit team appeared, I’ve been a huge fan.

Don’t get me wrong – the writing is still good; the characters interact with each other in familiar and heart-warming ways, making the bonds they’ve developed over the years and many cases rock solid… or are they? She studied undergraduate and postgraduate Law at King’s College, University of London and then abroad in Paris and Florence. Bamburgh was super special - I spent a lot of my childhood up there so I could picture absolutely everything perfectly. I thought this one was an improvement on the last which I didn’t really enjoy (the only one I wasn’t keen on). DCI Ryan’s North East Ever thought of retracing the footsteps of DCI Ryan and DS Phillips in the North East of England?Overall, one star for the whole gang, one star for the engaging storytelling, half a star for the humour, and half a star for the gardener. She enjoys reading all manner of books, painting, travelling and spending time with family and friends. Maybe revealing he’s the bad guy after half the book would have kept me interested and not continually rolling my eyes at the things that kept happening.
