   Ryan and Anna again!

   Good story and characters. The reader is diverted in clever ways from the ultimate peep.

   Consistently interesting

   I appreciate novels with mature characters that aren’t dull. A lot of book characters in their 30’s and 40’s act like teens, but in this series the characters are very realistic. I’m glad the author stopped mentioning how great Ryan is as much. A few books ago I feared this series was slipping, but it’s not. So far I’m just binging these novels and enjoying them. Sometimes I haven’t done since Discworld. I hope these stay enjoyable

   Another twisty-turnt tale

   DCI Ryan solves another set of suspicious deaths amid a beautiful old country home. Plot keeps the reader wondering up the the final page. One of my favorite DCI Ryan books.

   JL Ross gets better and better

   I was first drawn to this series at is set In my home county of Northumberland England. Firstly it was important that the narrator got the very particular local accent right which Jonathan Keeble does and he has a beautiful voice to listen to. Over the series the books have bece gripping as the back story of all the characters has developed . This book has somewhat of the country house murder mystery about it but that is no bad thing after the horrendous serial killer in the previous book ! I really enjoyed this one and all the others in this series and the author shows there is some dark days ahead for Ryan in the next book

   Ross always presents fresh stories

   LJ Ross's mastery of storytelling includes her ability to seemingly reinvent her characters with each story. They are real and relatable.

   Cragside is no different. The primary DCI Ryan characters do not disappoint, and new characters reveal themselves well and just in time.

   Jonathan Keeble is a master narrator.

   Simply, whether it's Cragside, or any other of the LJ Ross books, you cannot be disappointed--well, unless you're reading with that goal in mind, but that's on the reader; isn't it!
