Bamburgh: A DCI Ryan Mystery (The DCI Ryan Mysteries Book 19)

Product Information

unfortunately, i just can’t rate this 5⭐️ — here we have a 3rd DCS that is corrupt (you learn this yourself from chapters from their perspective) and it just feels like the same plot is being recycled over and over again. But 18 books later, Ryan and Anna's relationship is still going strong and I began to enjoy their chemistry much more easily.

DCI Ryan’s North East Ever thought of retracing the footsteps of DCI Ryan and DS Phillips in the North East of England? every so often it makes sense, but it feels like every book has been based off of this plot for some time now. 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. Meanwhile, after a recent revelation about her sister, DC Melanie Yates' quest to avenge her death is becoming an obsession - much to the concern of those around her. Mel has become obsessive since some DNA recently surfaced that matched the DNA found on her murdered twin’s body in 2007.When a cantankerous old woman dies at her home in the sleepy, picturesque village of Bamburgh, DCI Ryan doesn’t think much of it except, that is, for the small matter of it having been his wife who happened to find her body.

One of the previous books tried to clear the force, but still we found some rotten ones in the previous book.There’s a body found near Bamburgh Castle and at first it looks like an accidental death but then Ryan realises there’s more to it. The ending is dramatic and there is always the thought that she may not be able to avenge her sister but could end up dead herself. The crime and investigation didn't grip me at first, but what held my attention was the fantastic characters.

Maybe revealing he’s the bad guy after half the book would have kept me interested and not continually rolling my eyes at the things that kept happening. The only reason I kept reading is because I think every book should be given a chance to redeem itself. I thought the story line about another police chief psychopath - the third in that force - a little far fetched but in light of recent events about rogue police maybe, sadly, not. Then the author begins the murder mysteries with one of the two murder mysteries which run concurrently throughout the story.Meanwhile, after a recent revelation about her sister, DC Melanie Yates quest to avenge her death is becoming an obsession much to the concern of those around her. The 19th instalment in the DCI Ryan series, this fast-paced and punchy crime novel mixes a dark and emotional serial killer murder with an Agatha Christie-style cosy murder.

When the book opens we already know from the last one that the killer of Melanie’s sister, Gemma, years ago, has left his DNA on a victim from the previous book – a Thai woman who survived brutal injuries and captivity. Then shortly after the party, Anna and Emma, Ryan and Anna’s young daughter, are visiting the village of Bamburgh and discover another body. In fact, when a new character was introduced, I had the fleeting thought, ‘oh, please don’t make this person behave like…’ Well, Ross did.Whenever I read a story featuring this cast, it feels like a warm hug and visiting with old friends.

Despite being a long ways into a long running series, the novel was easily accessible and had a solid impact. Melanie is driven to identify this killer and bring him to justice and while the professional in her demands this occur, it’s far personal reasons that provide her motivation and give her cause to be deceptive. the murderer was never caught and Mel has never given up trying to find who murderer her sister: she feels guilty for having taken her out on the night of her death.
