Penshaw: A DCI Ryan Mystery (The DCI Ryan Mysteries)

Product Information

While she will always be a northerner at heart, she currently lives with her husband and their son in Bath on the outskirts of London where she spends her days writing her detective mysteries. Ross loved books from a very early age when she would find old books from her mother’s chest that she would staple and illustrate during her middle school years. Even as she has a varied taste in the types of novels that she reads, and will not mind reading the odd women’s fiction or a romance. I have digressed from the plot, but I think it’s enough to say great setting, good story well told, and creepy enough murders (without too many grisly details) to keep us guessing. Intrepid detective with good mates, but nobody's above suspicion in these. Castle Point, which sits beyond the Castle alongside the Lime Kilns and has wonderful views of the Farne Islands This has been an intriguing series....made for anyone who loves suspense and thrives on a good mystery. The characters are believable, well-drawn. Action is fast-paced and the further into the book you get, the faster you read. This book starts with a bang...literally! A man is found dead in a church and Ryan ends up the prime suspect. But this will only be the first of many deaths in this book. In fact victims start dropping like flies! What these victims have in common is, that they are all connected to the mysterious Circle.

Penshaw Monument– Penshaw monument is a ‘folly’, meaning a building serving no other purpose than to be seen. It was inspired by the Theseion, the Temple of Hephaestus, in Athens and was built in 1844 in honour of the first Earl of Durham, John Lambton. Spottee’s Cave – Spottee was a foreign sailor who was stranded in Sunderland and lived in the cave. His name came from the spotted shirt he wore, and he was regarded as a lunatic by locals, partly because he did not speak English. He subsisted by scavenging along the coast, begging, and doing manual work. According to the legend, he disappeared into the cave never to be seen again and was regarded by children as a ‘boggle’ (a bogey man or ghost). Ryan is tasked with helping to uncover a mole within the department. A task which doesn’t really sit well with him, but he is confident it isn’t anyone within his own team and that he will soon get to the bottom of it all. Nonetheless, it is the vintage crime authors such as Agatha Christie and Daphne du Maurier, which have had the most influence on her work with her DCI Ryan Mysteries. After practicing law for nearly ten years in London, the stressful environment and the long hours began to take their toll.Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere surrounding this special island, and for the best viewing points, head to: Local lass LJ Ross tops the charts with thriller Cragside". www.morpethherald.co.uk .

knygoje taip pat, kaip ir pirmose, yra ne tik romantikos, bet ir humoro, kuris man nei kiek negadino skaitymo. Dažnai nemėgstu didelių pašmaikštavimų, bet čia visiškai tiko! Ypač vienas veikėjas man prie širdies, kurio kaklaraiščių pasirinkimai visada kėlė šypseną. Dabar man net truputį gaila, kad visos Rato pinklės paaiškėjo ir nežinau, kas bus kitoje dalyje, bet ją tikrai skaitysiu!I don’t like spoilers, so I will try keep my review succinct as I don’t want to give away anything about the plot. I recommend you read the precious books before this one if you haven’t already. It’s quite hard to know what to say in my review for this book as I don’t want to give to much away in the previous book as well as this one. It was great to see one particular character in this book who I loved from the previous one as I was very invested in their story and whilst they don’t appear much in it, it was still great to catch up with them as it were.

I wish to thank Booklover Catlady Publicity and the author for providing me with a copy of Heavenfield in exchange for my honest, unbiased review. The readers of Fatal Fiction will learn about the role of an editor in a large publishing house. Also, the readers of Fatal Fiction will learn that anyone can learn to cook if they work at it. This is a perplexing case for Ryan co, nothing quite as it seems. The Watson family are completely fractured and the author has captured perfectly the differing fortunes of the parents and their children, even the two children themselves, one who turned to drugs, the other to politics. Add into the mix a whole mass of corruption, drug wars, and organised crime, as Ryan also has to head a multi task force operation to bring down a new up and coming crime syndicate, and you are left with a story which is equal parts tension, action and intrigue, one which kept me hooked from beginning to end. St Cuthbert’s Island (a tiny tidal island only accessible at low tide, where Saint Cuthbert lived as a hermit).Again there was no sex in this book, not even a hint of it, but there was love and affection and that’s all I can ask for. Angel of the North– The statue was designed by Antony Gormley and is located in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear. Completed in 1998, it is made of steel and stands twenty metres tall with wings measuring fifty-four metres in diameter. Known affectionately to some locals as ‘Rusty Rita’, it welcomes travellers making their way northbound along the A1. As a lover of history, I'm always keen to discover and learn about magnificent historical locations and buildings and ancient events and battles. And reading this author's books I always end up on Google as I feel the need to see the places mentioned, and every time, I realise that the online pictures are a mirror image of what I had imagined while reading the book. This shows the author's ability of vividly describing and bringing to life places and sceneries. This time I searched information about Heavenfield church and Bamburgh castle as these are the two focal points in this book.
