in the hugely successful DCI Ryan mystery series written by international best-selling author L J Ross, and the book can certainly be read as a standalone. Rushed and short it is not a patch on the standard I have come to expect of LJ Ross, the different stories feel unrelated and tension is lacking. They might want to consider that some of their readers are decent humans, wanting to read a decent story without having their own beliefs bashed. As a NZ'er I will never use or acknowledge the name from 15 March 2019, rather I choose to honour the victims and survivors. As that symbol turns up at additional sites of vandalism – not just Muslim – but Jewish, black, etc.

The sub plot that Jack and Mel investigated was a bit thin and not woven into the main story as much as usual. I wouldn't want to help support someone who feels the need to mention in every book their anti God, conservative opinions. Ms Ross seems to be churning out a lot if books at the moment (4 Ryan books and 2 in her new series so far this year I believe) and I think this is why the quality of the writing has deteriorated.After uncovering a fresh wave of corruption within the ranks of Northumbria CID, Detective Chief Inspector Ryan was looking forward to an uneventful summer. Just one comment from me - I am continually shocked as I learn of more ways people contrive to hurt or destroy fellow human beings. Ryan and Philips, as members of Northumbria CID, and their ‘team’ must solve these crimes to prevent more death and destruction.

I gave 1* to the first in the series, read as a precursor to this, the 14th, which was chosen as a local book club read (now cancelled due to Coronavirus! In addition, horrific hate crimes are happening in the NE of England at historic sites with ‘the perps’ leaving only a drawn symbol.

Nors ir tiriami du nusikaltimai, nei vienas nei kitas iki galo nesudomino, trūko intrigos, kažkokio kabliuko, dėl kurio knietėtų greičiau sužinot kas ir kodėl taip elgiasi. As always, nothing is straight forward or without an element of danger and this makes for an exciting, fast-paced read.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story, the mystery, the friendships, and seeing that the goodness in mankind can overcome anything.Her eleventh novel, The Infirmary, is a prequel story to the DCI Ryan series and is available as a major Audible Originals audio-drama starring Tom Bateman, Kevin Whately, Bertie Carvel, Hermione Norris and Alun Armstrong. We have a Scot, an Irish, and a Londoner, but they all seem to have the same accent - if not all of the time, most of the time.

Being the wife of an ex serviceman, I found the homeless veteran story very sad, mainly because it is unfortunately, a common occurrence. Will their investigation discover that it was a horrible, horrible accident when the woman ran directly into a live-fire exercise – or will they find it is something more – something much darker? now we are a few in, they seem very brief and whilst the plots are still good , I didnt find this as convincing and they are way briefer than they were.
