About this deal

DCI Ryan voices what everyone is thinking “The man’s got all the charm and personality of a rainbow trout. 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.

When a cantankerous old woman dies at her home in the sleepy, picturesque village of Bamburgh, DCI Ryan doesn’t think much of it—except, that is, for the small matter of it having been his wife who happened to find her body. The ideas – the structure, the character, the psychopathy, the ability to fool peers and family for decades, everything, have been used not once, but twice before. I've only previously read the first book in this series and I wouldn't have described myself as a fan yet.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. Mel starts looking at old and cold cases and finally pieces together who has done these vile murders.

Bamburgh was super special - I spent a lot of my childhood up there so I could picture absolutely everything perfectly. 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.Then the author begins the murder mysteries with one of the two murder mysteries which run concurrently throughout the story. 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. There is a DNA match found for the murderer linking him to a very recent abduction and failed murder attempt so Mel is desperate to be involved and find her sisters killer. DC Melanie Yates who is also at this party, but when her name is mentioned, DS Frank Philips says that he is concerned about her and with good reason. Despite being a long ways into a long running series, the novel was easily accessible and had a solid impact.
