Bamburgh: A DCI Ryan Mystery (The DCI Ryan Mysteries Book 19)

Product Information

Shouldn’t a newly appointed DCS wanting to make you DS on his first day in the office, after hinting Ryan isn’t bothered, make the alarms in your head go off? 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. When the book opens we already know from the last one that the killer of Melanie’s sister, Gemma, years ago, has left his DNA on a victim from the previous book – a Thai woman who survived brutal injuries and captivity. The Bookseller magazine has reported on Louise having topped the ‘Most Read’ and ‘Most Sold’ fiction charts, and she has garnered an army of loyal fans who love her atmospheric and addictive storytelling.

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. She studied undergraduate and postgraduate Law at King’s College, University of London and then abroad in Paris and Florence. She enjoys reading all manner of books, painting, travelling and spending time with family and friends. 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.

Mel has become obsessive since some DNA recently surfaced that matched the DNA found on her murdered twin’s body in 2007.

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.From the moment LJ Ross’s marvellous series about aristocratic copper DCI Ryan and his close-knit team appeared, I’ve been a huge fan. This service is entirely free, and your details will never be shared with any third parties whatsoever. 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. Despite being a long ways into a long running series, the novel was easily accessible and had a solid impact. But as Melanie delves deeper into the secrets of the past to uncover the truth, she soon realises it lies much closer to home.
