The Creek: A Summer Suspense Mystery (The Summer Suspense Mysteries Book 2)

Product Information

When an old man is found dead inside the ancient hermitage at Warkworth Castle, Northumbria CID are called in to investigate. With no apparent motive, it’s their job to unravel why he was murdered. And this time they must do it without their star detective. Gabrielle soon learns that being a survivor is harder than being a victim, and she struggles to return to her old life. Desperate to break free from endless nightmares, she snatches up an opportunity to run a tiny bookshop in a picturesque cove in rural Cornwall. Ross has also written one DCI Ryan short story for the Durham Book Festival “Big Read” and it is currently exclusively available through that endeavor. However, Ross has said that following the festival she will make the short story more widely available to all readers. It is “The Mystery of the Vanishing Mayor.” It’s been five months since a killer walked free and DCI Ryan is preparing to leave Newcastle to hunt him down — this time, for good.

Kate soon learns that the past always catches up with you, in the end—the question is, will she be able to face it, when it does?

The ‘Underground Killer’ takes his victims when they least expect it: standing on the edge of a busy Tube platform, as they wait for a train to arrive through the murky underground tunnels of London. Marrying money and fame doesn't bring you happiness; that's what Kate discovered after marrying Will Irving. Will was a T.V. star who played the role of Superman in a new T.V. series. Underneath all his drama Will was a cold-blooded creature. Kate knew she had to get away from him. Waking up her 4-year-old son, Jamie, they fled into the night. Will, standing in the middle of his driveway, screamed obscenities after them. Suspense is peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced mystery, set amidst the spectacular Cornish landscape.

Her husband also has permanent recognition on every book cover in her choice of attribution as a tribute to his support. The second initial in LJ Ross stands for her husband James, while the first initial is for her first name, Louise.But Ryan’s plans go up in smoke when events take a dramatic turn. Now he must stay and face his past one last time, or watch a friend suffer the consequences.
