Although it's not quite my type of story, I did enjoy the way it was built up.
DCI Ryan is back and just when he thinks everything has returned to normal and he can concentrate more on his relationship with Anna, a man stumbles across a skeleton.It belongs to a young girl who disappeared 10 years earlier and was hidden inside the Roman Wall at Sycamore Gap. Ryan is going to have to face his own past to discover who killed her and more importantly, why.As much as I enjoyed the first book, I think I like this one even better. Maybe it's because the characters were so well wr...
A great sequel to Holy Island. DCI Ryan and Anna are a real treat. I kept turning the pages whenever possible. With a very unsuspected end. Again.
4.5★A body stuffed in a gap ten years ago points Ryan to his sister’s killer, but how? He’s in prison. LJ Ross has given us another in her excellent series about the handsome, troubled detective who is driven to find the killer who butchered his sister in front of his eyes.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 character...
What do the centuries old Hadrian’s Wall, Circle of Satanic worshipers, a serial killer, and DCI Maxwell Ryan have in common? Much more than one might think. LJ Ross has woven another dark, intense mystery involving Ryan and his colleague, Frank Phillips, as they attempt to unravel the interlocking puzzles of two murders: The skeleton of a young woman is found hidden within the old Roman wall; apparently it has been interred there for ten years. Soon thereafter, another young woman’s body is fou...
Sycamore Gap by LJ Ross Many thanks to the author and Maxine at Booklover Catlady Publicity Services for my review copy of Sycamore Gap.I was super excited to get a copy of this book, as I had read Louise's previous book in the series, Holy Island and loved it. You can read my review for Holy Island here. About the book: (via Goodreads)The past never stays buried for long... Detective Chief Inspector Ryan believes he has put his turbulent history behind him. Then, in the early hours of the summe...
Sycamore Gap is the second book in the DCI Ryan Mysteries The first book “ Holy Land”, set the tone for the series and was a book I enjoyed, while this second one really captured my interestThe main character Detective Chief Inspector Ryan, is interesting, and with this second installment we get to know him more in-depth“Murder and mystery are peppered with a sprinkling of romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunnit set amidst the spectacular scenery of Hadrian's Wall country in Northu...
Well, the story (and the maneuvering of the Circle) continues...I didn't for a moment thought that the crimes that seemed solved in Holy Island were really solved! LOLSo, we read here how Ryan and his companions are dragged more and more into the conspiracy!We also know how's doing the maneuvering, but I liked that too.At the end I was not shocked by how the things turned: I was expecting something like that! ;-)On to the next and hopefully we'll get the Circle to its deserved end!
The DCI Ryan #2 is a great follow up story to the first, entitled Holy Island. I think LJ Ross is a talented writer who creates well rounded characters, both good and bad and plenty of tension in her stories. I am not usually drawn to Detective series, but I confess that as I grew up in the North East of England my heart still resides there, and this series transports me back to so many familiar locations. As a teenager I enjoyed many school hiking trips around the area of Hadrian's Wall, and fe...
Clever! A little bit dark, a little bit twisted and just the right amount of who really dunnit!A really good sequel to 'Holy Island,' (I would recommend reading #1) and the author has produced a rather creepy follow-on. About six months after the initial case DCI Ryan & Dr Anna Taylor return. The novel begins when a girl's body is found encased in a part of Hadrian's Wall called Sycamore Gap. A series of deaths then become increasingly entwined with the last two of DCI Ryan's cases - The Hacker
Read the first few pages and realised it was going to be as bad as the first book so found something else to read
I listened to this on audible and I really enjoyed it, I liked the fast pace of the book, I found myself stopping what I was doing in readiness of the next bit.A great story, I do have a couple of others on audio that I was gifted, then I think I will read the others. Highly recommend
Another fantastic bookLove the way bits of information about characters in the circle are fed to you, but then something else happens to disprove your thoughts. Book 3 very soon.
Another brilliant piece of writing from LJ Ross. A body found after many years by chance or is it? Is it the same killer as before, or a copycat or someone as yet undiscovered? Unknown they maybe but they know about Ryan and his life, girlfriend and contacts. Is "the circle" still active or is this completely different? Police are not always what they seem- or are they? Somethings are left undiscovered which is where the next book , I hope, will clarify things even more.A standalone book althoug...
