LJ Ross brings us yet again another top quality whodunit Ryan Mystery story with Dark Skies which is the seventh book in the series. I have to say what a stunning cover, which has buy me written all over it. I do love all the cover’s in this series but I particularly like this one and it is very fitting to the story.With an OMG Prologue that leaves you wanting more we catch up with Ryan who is back off his honeymoon and finds himself on a case after a body has been found in the reservoir from th...
Another great read in the DCI Ryan series. I just love this guy, as well as his new wife Anna, his partner Phillips and his fiancé MacKenzie, and I’ve always liked Lowerson until this book. He always struck me as a fun-loving good-ole-boy even if this is in England. Unfortunately, Jack Lowerson kind of lost his mind in this one and he still hadn’t come back around by the end of this story. That’s so sad.This story was about a 30 year old murder of a 16 year old, committed by other teenagers. One...
She does it again! Another amazing read. Every book you learn something new about the characters. Every book there is a gripping murder. Can't wait to start the next book.
2.5 stars.The episodic aspect of this series didn't used to bother me. I actually would save installments of this series to read in between other shorter series. It was all well and good until the annoying ex of the H was introduced into the story line. While it would have been easy for L.J. Ross to make the nature of his past relationship sordidly detailed, she smartly veered away from that course, painting it all with very subtle brushstrokes. I'm grateful for that because I don't like intimat...
This is a gripping read with DCI Ryan and the team trying to track down a murderer. Once again Anna is drawn into the scene of the crime as she’s there with a group from university when a body is found in the reservoir. DCI Ryan is called and it soon becomes clear that the body has been mummified and the person dies over thirty years ago. The next morning another body is found, but this time it’s identified that the person was killed early that morning. Jen Lucas is Ryan’s new boss and due to he...
Back in March this year I read my first DCI Ryan mystery, Holy Island. Little did I know back then when I started that I would end up being totally hooked on this series and eagerly awaiting the next instalment, desperate to get my DCI Ryan fix.As with the previous books, Dark Skies is set in a beautiful part of the country, Northumberland. We’re taken to Kielder Forest this time and if you have never been before, don’t worry. Ross describes the place beautifully, its so easy to sit back and im...
Another quick enjoyable novel from L.J.Ross. Set in areas I am very familiar with, I really like this series. The characters have developed well with each book, including Mr Perfect aka Ryan, and his now wife Anna. It is a typical murder case, which turns into more than one and included a cold case or two. The interaction between the main detectives is very believable and I enjoy the Geordie references !
Fantastic Don't know how Ms Ross does it yet another great book in this series. All the main characters develop with each book, revealing more of their respective traits good and bad.Really must get back up to Northumberland soon, and visit these places, hopefully getting away in one piece.
Dark Skies is the seventh book in the DCI Ryan series. I would personally recommend reading at least the last couple of books to get full enjoyment from this one.After finishing Cragside, I couldn’t wait to read the next one as I was very interested to see how things would work out with Lucas, Ryan’s new boss, someone from his past. If my dislike wasn’t enough for Lucas in the brief time I knew them in Cragside, it certainly grew to be more in Dark Side. I really felt every much as frustrated as...
And again a superb addition to this series. DCI Ryan and Anna are a real treat. As are Frank, Denise and Jack. Again this one was a little slower but that didn't make it less good. And again with a cliffhanger at the very end.
It’s book number seven in the DCI Ryan series and although it can be read as a standalone, you really do need to have read the previous books if you want to get the most from the characters Louise Ross has created here. There are snippets sneaking into Dark Skies from previous books and these will also add to your curiosity so you may as well give into temptation and read the series from book one!I adore this series and for many reasons. I love that L.J Ross combines the police thriller genre wi...
