I’ve only read 4 of Ross’ books, 2 of which are about DCI Ryan. I am enjoying them and looking forward to the next one in the series which I am about to start Reply A little disappointed, having read the pervious number of books only to find that in the book Longstone Ryan is married, We are immediately drawn into the terrible lives and experiences of the characters, and the evil gang which is transporting them.
