About this deal
I feel like I’ve really gotten to know these characters over this series, they’re so realistic and you can’t help caring for them. After his climactic battle with notorious serial killer The Hacker, DCI Ryan is spending the summer with his fiancée within the grounds of Cragside, a spectacular Bavarian-style mansion surrounded by acres of woodland. I just love the settings for all the books in the series and it’s exciting to see what location will come up next, and it’s guaranteed after I’ve read the book I’ll want to go visit. In my experience of several series of books I find that the author doesn't do enough to keep the sparkle alive within each book but this is definitely something that Louise has mastered.
There is another thing that had me chuckling but that was on a personal level as a name came up that is oh so familiar to me but was still fun to actually see in print. As the series progresses we see the various relationships within the team evolve and we learn more about the characters. They’ve been enjoying a quiet temporary stay at a holiday cottage in the grounds of the beautiful Cragside estate.Am well and truly into my DCI Ryan catch up marathon now and Cragside is the 6 th outing for the team.
Once there though, Ryan sees everyone else in costume and settles down a bit until suddenly all the lights go out. Once again the author has done an outstanding job and kept me entertained and intrigued from start to finish.Cragside is the latest installment in the DCI Ryan series by LJ Ross, and to be honest, these books improve with every new book!
