I honestly can not get enough of this incredible series and I am so glad I stumbled across her first book, holy island. Inspektorius Rajenas su sužadėtine Ana dalyvauja vakarėlyje Kregsaido dvare, kai užgesus šviesai, vienas iš vakarėlio dalyvių žūsta nukritęs nuo laiptų. In a clever and unexpected twist, the second is someone who could potentially pose a threat, just as Ryan’s personal life is coming together.

The murder mystery along with its setting make it seem almost Agatha Christie-esque in tone which makes it a very cosy read. On to the next to see what the "Hacker's heir" in the body of Ryan's ex and now his superior officer will do! Louise Ross has the enviable talent of being able to whisk her readers away from the real world with her page turning writing style and I highly recommend you try her books from the start if you want to get the most out of them. The author has dispensed with the slightly silly cult type themes of the early books and has gone in a good direction with a solid who done it. 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.The banter between members of the team is so well written and adds to the realism and to my enjoyment of the books as it often adds a much needed bit of humour. Tai lengvi detektyvai, puikiai tinkantys skaityti kaip atsipalaidavimą - knygos puslapiai verčiasi lengvai ir įdomiai.

Now in saying that, there is still an element of gore when discussing the murders, and the tension ramps up increasingly with every chapter. On this occasion, both the setting and the plot of the story reminded me of the incomparable Agatha Christie. In Cragside we get to find out a bit more about Lowerson and Yates as well and I’m really looking forward to seeing more from them in the future. There aren't any intimate details given, but I'm the kind of reader that really just wants present to focus on the present.Beskaitant buvo jausmas, kad rašytoja keliauja lengviausiu keliu - per anksti numeta jauką bei užuominas. Ryan, Phillips, MacKanzie, Jack and Anna are all very engaging characters and the right mix of ingredients for the perfect team. To make the reader empathise/connect emotionally to characters is difficult, but LJ Ross does it with ease. LJ Ross writing is exquisite with stunning descriptions that are totally captivating made me feel right there in the story.

Yes I am a little late to the party and wish that I would of had chance to read it sooner because it is that good! The intrigue and suspense intensifies when a second body is discovered and with several potential suspects and not much to go on, the team have their work cut out. Detective Chief Inspector Maxwell Ryan and his fiancée, Doctor Anna Taylor are spending some downtime after the traumatic events of the previous case. Cragside is the sixth book in the DCI Ryan Mysteries and what a series this has turned out to be even though I absolutely loved the first book Holy Island each one just gets better and better.You would think that with all that they have gone through recently Ryan and Anna would be entitled to a little down time and relaxation when they booked a holiday cottage in the lovely setting of the grounds of Cragside, but you just know its not going to happen.

I won't say anything about the second addition though as they have just merely been introduced in this book, but I'm sure they will represent nothing but trouble for poor Ryan!
