For me there was too much Ryan and Frank driving around and talking, and less interesting interaction between all of Ryan's department. I laughed so much throughout with Frank’s one liners, he is 100% a character that I will forever love! Now about Lady’s Well - DCI Ryan and his partner and best friend, DS Frank Philips who at the moment looks like Uncle Fester (It is Hallowe’en after all. Another well paced, fun, captivating mystery for DCI Ryan and our favorite team of detectives to solve. I always enjoy the author’s descriptive writing in this series, I like to take myself off to these wonderful parts of Northumberland in my mind.
The death of one of the locals isn’t as clear cut as everyone seems to think and it’s great seeing the team working together as the case gets more twisted and complicated. It was cheap, and the cover looked nice, and I had read about the Well so I thought I may as well read it. Otherwise, the story is set in a small village and the start of the story is some 20 years ago with a murder of a young woman.Lady’s Well is probably one of new favourites in the series with plenty of twists that had me hooked. Lot of focus is on Melanie Yates, who is struggling with the events of the previous books and there is lot of her internal dilema in this book, but it does not overpower the main story. You give a wonderful description of the area and we will be visiting soon while I await the next instalment. One in particular shocked me to the core and I could feel my jaw dropping more than a few times as I raced through the pages.

This is probably a matter of personal taste, but I disliked the constant references to Trump, Liz Truss, TikTok, influencers, etc. He was belligerent, bellicose, and totally contrary, but did someone dislike him to the point they would want to kill him? I count down the days each and every time I know a new book in this series is coming out and this was not exception! The banter he had with Philips was occasionally amusing but more often a bit overworked, and seem to fall flat.I know kids are taught that spelling doesn’t matter as long as they make their point I’m old enough to have been taught how to spell and punctuate and this does detract from the story!
Her eleventh novel, "The Infirmary", is a prequel story and is also available as a major Audible Originals audio-drama starring Tom Bateman, Kevin Whately, Bertie Carvel, Hermione Norris and Alun Armstrong. Dopo aver a lungo atteso quest'ultimo romanzo della serie, mi dispiace dire che sono veramente delusa.Accusations abound in the small, close-knit community, and ‘old’ religions spar against ‘new’ while fear runs like wildfire through the streets.

So many phrases that just grated because yes, they do the job, but isn't there a fresher way to say them? Granted, I haven't read the rest of the series, but from this he seemed quite a tedious person whose best features were just a happy coincidence, and that said little about his character (does he have one?
As I said, these are all there, but they seem to be somewhat eclipsed - or at least interrupted - by references to tedious aspects of modern life.
The 20th in the sequence (I am a fan and have read them all) and if it was the premier league it’d be about 15th - safe from relegation but certainly no where near some if the excellent books in this series. I have a feeling all will be revealed in the next one, which I will still read as I am invested in the characters now.
Great Deal
