Exceptional narrating with wonderful inflections and accents only add to what is already a superb read. If I could give this Audible book 10 stars I would!
This, the fifth in the Ryan series is full of surprises and is the best to date.The whole of the North East's police force are on the lookout for Keir Edwards, aka the Hacker He escaped from the roof of his prison, via helicopter. Who organised and paid for it?Once Ryan's hears that his nemesis has escaped, his nightmare begins. He was responsible for the death of his sister so it is very personal. As soon as the news breaks, it becomes obvious that one of their own is missing. DI Denise McKenzi...
This book is very much ‘part 2’ of Angel so not really a stand alone story in its own right. I enjoyed the punchy drama of this follow on book but for some reason, it didn’t grip me as previous books have. A very good ending that had my heart racing and wondering if we find out who it was in the future (if you’ve read this one, you’ll know what I mean!).
4★DCI Ryan is off again, after his nemesis, serial killer Keir Edwards, who brutally murdered Ryan’s sister in front of him and who has recently escaped from jail. Edwards has always picked brunettes in the past (we don’t know why), but this time, the story opens with our favourite redhead, DI Denise MacKenzie in the boot of his car, rumbling off to God-knows-where! Her poor beloved Det Sgt Frank Phillips is beside himself with worry. We’ve come to know tall, handsome Ryan, his smart, studious b...
If you follow my blog, you’ll know that I’ve read and loved the DCI Ryan series, so I was thrilled when Louise said I could read an ARC of High Force. I had been eagerly awaiting book 5 since I closed the last page of Angel to be honest so it was a real treat to be able to get back into the series.High Force picks up immediately after Angel finishes. I had told myself I’ll just read the first few pages and then I’ll come back to it… I had it finished the following day, it was UNPUTDOWNABLE. When...
This was fun! Not in the best way, but still fun!I mean, I enjoyed how they were all running to save MacKenzie! It was high adrenaline!And I also enojoyed how The Hacker ended, even if I didn't fully understand who was to fire the final shot! I also think that The Hacker will come again in some future books, since it was not clearly said that he died!
Can it get any better?! Another superb addition to this series. DCI Ryan and Anna are a real treat. As are Frank, Denise and Jack. Amazingly clever, fast-paced and very very believable. With an exhilarating grand finale!
Another well written installment of the DCI Ryan series, I found this equally interesting and hard to enjoy. This was darker than the previous books since a major secondary character (sorry, I couldn't resist using that oxymoron) is at the mercy of a crazy killer's whims. Seeing Phillips suffering and in anguish for the duration of the book was heart wrenching. But as much as this was difficult to read, it was also very satisfying. Anna kicked butt in this book. Seeing her take an active, albeit...
Whoa that was just full on. I saw somewhere that these books were described as 'cosies' and/or romance. I don't do cosy or romantic. Yes there is a bit of romance as in many other thrillers but its not that much a part of the story. And there was nothing,, absolutely nothing cosy about this book. It was horrific.Keir Edwards aka The Hacker - the man who killed Ryan's sister escaped from custody after faking a medical emergency. He is on the run, he is on a rampage, and he wants revenge. And he i...
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. Anyway, we left DCI Maxwell Finlay-Ryan at the end of Angel, having solved the case of the murdered women but with DI Denise MacKenzie having b...
Another great outing in DCI Ryan series. Fast paced, gritty, engaging with a great cast of characters. Love those books!
‘The Hacker’ has escaped from the maximum security prison where DCI Ryan and the British Judicial System put him! High Force, a DCI Ryan Mystery #5, by LJ Ross main focus is Ryan’s ‘worst nightmare’. The way ‘The Hacker’ escapes wowed me as I had never heard of an escape ‘that’ way before. Ryan’s immediate thoughts are for Anna, his fianceé, as she is Keir Edwards’, ‘The Hacker’, premiere type to destroy. Plus, Edwards wants to totally decimate Ryan. Will there be a direct confrontation, Ryan ve...
