Lady's Well: A DCI Ryan Mystery (The DCI Ryan Mysteries Book 20)

Product Information

I hope to go back to England, and one place I hope to see as soon as I land is Holy Isle or Lindisfarne. 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. She needs to find herself again, and seeks help from an unlikely source, but she's given leave to deal with her feelings. The plot, the treatment of the characters, the style, the language have little in common with all the other books of the series. I know the author had a number of issues to deal with while writing this book – illness among them – so I’m going to give her the benefit of the doubt and assume those loose ends are deliberate and will be wrapped up in the next book or two to be released.

I laughed so much throughout with Frank’s one liners, he is 100% a character that I will forever love! As I said, these are all there, but they seem to be somewhat eclipsed - or at least interrupted - by references to tedious aspects of modern life.

When I settle down with these stories I feel like I’m just catching up with some old friends, they’re absolutely wonderful characters and having learnt so much about them along the journey of these mysteries, I feel like I actually know them. The 20th in the sequence (I am a fan and have read them all) and if it was the premier league it’d be about 15th - safe from relegation but certainly no where near some if the excellent books in this series.I count down the days each and every time I know a new book in this series is coming out and this was not exception! Otherwise, the story is set in a small village and the start of the story is some 20 years ago with a murder of a young woman.

Accusations abound in the small, close-knit community, and 'old' religions spar against 'new' while fear runs like wildfire through the streets. However, the rest of it seemed lacking somehow – every other thread outside of the mystery was left hanging. Sembra davvero che sia stato scritto da un autore diverso, che ha solo una vaga idea dei personaggi, che ama dilungarsi in sermoni spesso inutili e irritanti e fa fatica a costruire una trama degna dei romanzi precedenti, di cui era difficile, invece, interrompere la lettura. In this instalment we see the ongoing development of the relationships between Ryan and Anna, Frank and Denise and Mel and Jack.So many phrases that just grated because yes, they do the job, but isn't there a fresher way to say them? With so many potential motives and countless opportunities, there's only one man who can help solve this particular mystery.

Another well paced, fun, captivating mystery for DCI Ryan and our favorite team of detectives to solve. Another masterpiece, full of suspense and I’m super excited for the next book and what comes next with these characters and of course some more murders to solve! Royal Mail 24™ – the aim is to deliver your parcels the next working day upon handover in the United Kingdom. DCI Ryan’s North East Ever thought of retracing the footsteps of DCI Ryan and DS Phillips in the North East of England? I feel like the first few books had a bit more grit and interesting crimes to solve, whereas now the main focus is on the relationships between the characters with a very thinly plotted mystery in the background.Anyway, all in all I'm glad I read it, and I might venture to read another at some point, but it wasn't exactly gripping. The Cove" (the first book in her new Summer Suspense Mysteries series) was released in 2021 and followed up by "The Creek" in 2022.
