Cragside: A DCI Ryan Mystery (The DCI Ryan Mysteries Book 6)

Product Information

But with a house full of suspects and a shrewd killer hiding in plain sight, Ryan knows that this will be a tough nut to crack. Still reeling from the investigation into The Hacker, when we meet Ryan in Cragside, he and Anna are holed up on a country estate as it was the easiest option until they can find somewhere to live. On this occasion, both the setting and the plot of the story reminded me of the incomparable Agatha Christie. The evening turns into a real whodunit with a definite period feel when the house is plunged into darkness, and the body of Victor, the owner’s valet and one of the attendees is found at the bottom of a staircase.

I’m not sure if it’s because the story centres around a big house or not but it had a feel of an Agatha Christie novel. It has certainly left me wondering of all the possibilities as to where she will take us with it and I have to say it feels quite thrilling. I have always wanted to go on a Murder Mystery and after reading this it is high up on my list of things to do and places to go. Pradėti norėčiau nuo to, kad tai buvo absoliuti priešingybė pirmoms dalims - nėra ritualinių žmogžudysčių, nėra jokios senovės istorijos. Now in saying that, there is still an element of gore when discussing the murders, and the tension ramps up increasingly with every chapter.I absolutely loved the set up here, it was an opportunity for the author to explore the continuing relationships between the friends and colleagues but also involving them in this new investigation. They do make a good couple though as do Phillips and Mackenzie, they’ve all been through a lot in the series and it’s lovely how they all stick together and look out for each other. And this time I really was, as I noticed a certain Jen Lucas making an appearance in a rather different role to her usual blogger extraordinaire!

As he had with Jack Lowerson , Ryan sees something special in her and decides to take her under his wing to see what she is made of. Her eleventh novel, The Infirmary, is a prequel story and is also available as a major Audible Originals audio-drama starring Tom Bateman, Kevin Whately, Bertie Carvel, Hermione Norris and Alun Armstrong. LJ Ross writing is exquisite with stunning descriptions that are totally captivating made me feel right there in the story. Viską būčiau pateisinusi, jei autorė būtų labiau atskleidusi detektyvų išgyvenimus po penktos dalies, arba labiau išvysčiusi naujų veikėjų užuomazgas ir portretus (nujaučiu, kad tai bus kitose dalyse), tačiau to šioje knygoje irgi ne itin daug radau.

Invited to the staff summer party, Ryan was less than happy about dressing up for a Victorian murder mystery themed evening. Tai nekeičia mano susižavėjimo ir meilės šiai serijai, nekeičia noro perskaityti ją visą, nes suprantu, kad autorius anksčiau ar vėliau išsikvepia. I’m not one for fictional crushes, but to be honest, DCI Ryan sounds like he could be the poster boy for tortured heroes everywhere. This book has certainly inspired me to go and visit Cragside which is one place up here in the north that I haven't got to yet!
