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

Product Information

Now this book has special meaning for me, as readers will be aware, as I won an auction to be a named character in the book.

On a side note, one of the things that I've enjoyed about this Ryan and Anna's story is the lack of OP drama. The start of the book did make me smile despite the dead body, purely due to the banter between Anna, Ryan and Frank about the costume that Ryan was wearing to the event and it truly does show the closeness between them all despite status and rank. He deserves a bit of a break here as he has been through some tough times recently and now has his wedding to Anna to look forward to. Today we are moving on to day six of LJ Ross month and Mandie is sharing her thoughts on the wonderful Cragside.One night Ryan and Anna are invited to a Victorian murder mystery themed staff party inside the house. Initially the death looks accidental, but as more is revealed about the victim’s life questions are raised.

There aren't any intimate details given, but I'm the kind of reader that really just wants present to focus on the present. As the series progresses we see the various relationships within the team evolve and we learn more about the characters.Ryan, Phillips, MacKanzie, Jack and Anna are all very engaging characters and the right mix of ingredients for the perfect team.

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.It looks like an unfortunate accident but, as the dead man's life begins to unfold, Ryan and his team of detectives realise that all is not as it appears. This was about two murders but one was not a murder after all but an accident, though the one accidently killed was a blackmailer, so that was no great loss.
