AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
I love DCI Ryan and think he is a great character and was not disappointed with the latest story in his series as he deals with what appears to be an occult murder. This is an exciting twisty tale with all of the villagers looking responsible at some time or other and everyone seems to be keeping secrets and telling lies. The narrator is once again great for these books.

I've been meaning to start this series for a very long time, and I'm not disappointed at all. As a Northumberland resident, I enjoyed recognising places I'm familiar with. The story was engaging and exciting, with emotional twists that tugged at the heartstrings. I'll definitely be aiming to read the rest!

Detective Chief Inspector Ryan retreats to Holy Island seeking sanctuary when he is forced to take sabbatical leave from his duties as a homicide detective. A few days before Christmas, his peace is shattered, and he is thrust back into the murky world of murder when a young woman is found dead amongst the ancient ruins of the nearby Priory.
When former local girl Dr Anna Taylor arrives back on the island as a police consultant, old memories swim to the surface, making her confront her difficult past. She and Ryan struggle to work together to hunt a killer who hides in plain sight, while pagan ritual and small-town politics muddy the waters of their investigation.
Murder and mystery are peppered with a sprinkling of romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunnit set on the spectacular Northumbrian island of Lindisfarne, cut off from the English mainland by a tidal causeway.
This is the first book in the Detective Ryan series.
I listened to the audio version and thoroughly enjoyed it.
