This is the first of a long series of mystery novels centred around the main character DCI Ryan. Ryan is introduced in this novel. He is living quietly on Lindisfarne (Holy Island) and returns from a sabbatical to lead an investigation on the island. The plot was gripping, with plenty of twists and red herrings. I’m looking forward to reading the second book now, as there were some unresolved elements after reading this one.
