About this deal

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. Tačiau šįkart istorija visiškai kitokia. Nėra nei ritualinių žmogžudysčių, nei daug romantikos, nei pakankamai ramaus ir lėto knygos tempo. Čia visiškai pilna įtampos, greičio ir šiurpumų istorija! Istorija įtraukė nuo pirmųjų puslapių ir tikrai buvo sunku jos neskaityti. Kai vyko svarbaus ir žiauraus žudiko, pabėgusio iš kalėjimo, gaudynės, kaip galima veikti kažką kito, jei ne skaityti?? 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. There’s no spot in the North East so beautiful that you can’t make it a murder scene. That would appear to be the thinking of LJ Ross, an author who has burst like a comet onto the literary scene.

Unlike the previous books, High Force was much more thriller than mystery. Coming in to the story the reader already knows whodunnit and there's only the question of why to keep wondering about. But this is fast paced and gripping, and I did not want to put it down. I couldn't help but race to the end.

Crime novellist [sic] LJ Ross is writing her own destiny". Express North . Retrieved 2 February 2016. In the last book there was a definite shift of focus towards Henderson and I was glad to see that continue. She is a fiercely strong character. 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. LJ Ross is an internationally bestselling author, whose books have sold over 7 million copies worldwide.

Yes. And you’re DCI Ryan,’ she held out a hand and wished she’d had time to run a brush through her hair.” Police procedural mystery/romantic suspense series set in Northumbria, England following Detective Chief Inspector Ryan. Louise was born in Northumberland, England. She studied undergraduate and postgraduate Law at King’s College, University of London and then abroad in Paris and Florence.

Now, she writes full time and lives with her husband and son in Northumberland and Edinburgh. She enjoys reading all manner of books, painting, travelling and spending time with family and friends.For me, with the kind of work I was doing... well, it wasn’t nine to five and I tended to bring it home. Some people are very good at switching off but I was more of a worrier.

You might think the crime genre is already stuffed with quirky detectives but in following her writer’s impulse, Louise didn’t let that inhibit her. High Force is large waterfall in Northumbria. There is a smaller one which I believe is called Low Force, and they are a natural beauty spot in the Northumbrian countryside. As a staunch southerner, and proud Bristolian, I am really very keen to move to Northumbria and walk these hills and dales. I may take myself off on holiday (alone) to visit one day. Marsh, Michael.

DCI Ryan Series

The DCI Ryan series is one very much of mystery but this book definitely had more of a darker edge to it. I was well and truly gripped. Balancing evil and darkness in this book are the author's vivid beautiful scenery descriptions which made me feel as if I were there, travelling through the beautiful Northumbrian countryside, with its lush green valleys and wooded dells. I actually had to google and learn more about the beautiful areas described such as High Force waterfall which I had never heard of! He said, ‘I’ll read around for you’. Then he came up with this idea, saying, ‘It’s not vanity publishing; you don’t pay anything. It’s just a way of putting your work out there to see how it’s received’.
