Summary

From the number one international best-selling author of Holy Island.

Are you afraid of the dark?

After his climactic battle with notorious serial killer The Hacker, DCI Ryan is spending the summer with his fiancée within the grounds of Cragside, a spectacular Bavarian-style mansion surrounded by acres of woodland.

When they are invited to attend the staff summer party - a Victorian murder mystery evening - it's all a joke until the lights go out and an elderly man is found dead. 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.

When a second body is found, terror grips the close-knit community, and Ryan must uncover the killer who walks among them before they strike again....

Murder and mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunit set amidst the spectacular Northumbrian landscape.

I love this series.

Another great listen, I enjoy this series so much. Not exactly the greatest detective series but I feel that I know them all personally. The narrator is one of my favourites and thankfully he doesn’t need to use a stupid voice for each subject. I think the narrator actually is as important as the actual story and I think Jonathan Keeble could read Toy Story and make it interesting. Well done!

*Another Thrilling Instalment*

This series for me is like the gift that keeps giving, I love DCI Ryan’s team they seem very solid and have been through a lot. Interestingly there is a new Superintendent and someone that Ryan had a brief romance with over ten years ago, she is now married and I think there will be trouble ahead for Ryan and his wife to be Anna, but time will tell….

This instalment is about contains fraud, blackmail and murder and as usual Ryan and his team will get to the bottom of it….. not to mention the deranged escaped killer fixated on killing Ryan ….
