About this listen

A secret kept for a thousand years....

After the dramatic theft of a priceless artefact from Durham Cathedral, the rest of the world believes that DCI Ryan and his team were able to recover and return St Cuthbert's cross to its rightful home. But Ryan knows the cross he recovered was a fake - far from being over, their problems are only just beginning....

Just as Ryan and his team begin to unravel the truth behind the spate of mysterious thefts, something even more priceless is stolen - something that can never be replaced.

As the nationwide manhunt continues without success, Ryan is thrust into despair-until he realises the answer lies not in modern policing, but in an age-old secret known only to a chosen few. To recover what's been lost, he must first crack 'Cuthbert's Code', following the trail of a long-dead saint across the wild, unpredictable hills and valleys of the borderlands.

Can Ryan find what he's looking for, before it's too late?

He's going to need a miracle....

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

simply stunning

please please please never stop writing the dci ryan books . I have never read any books like them in the crime fiction genre. The characters are so realistic they've almost become part of my life. The humour between Ryan and Phillips is particularly enjoyable. I can't wait for the next story to unfold

Great book as always but…

Brilliant story and brilliant narration. My only moan would be that this book was a direct continuation and ending to the previous book The Shrine which was quite short. I think it would have been better as one book. It seems that with the DCI Ryan series it is pretty essential to read in order. Still can’t wait to listen to The Rock and hopefully more after.

Great narration and decent story

As always, Jonathan Keeble is brilliant at narrating. The story is enjoyable enough and I love the dynamic between Frank & Denise and Ryan and Frank & all the humorous banter. However, as others have said, Ryan & Anna's interactions are repetitive and unbelievable if not slightly nauseating. More focus on plot and the juxtaposition of the humour & the thriller/dramatic elements would be great.

Great listening

Liked the storyline, love the progression of the characters but would have liked a bit more of the darker side of the villains story included as it could've just added to the mystery and suspense. Great performance by JK as usual.

A much better book altogether but.,.

It’s the second half of the Shrine. There is no other way of seeing it. So two credits for one book! The Shrine does not stand alone.

Cuthbert’s way sees the return of a decent length text. It’s a little far fetched but I can cope with that. Ryan is still too good to be true and Phillips is still cheeky. Less about Jack and Yates in this book but that’s no shame. Enjoyed the character development of Ryan’s family.

smoothly carried on from previous book

was nice to see his parents turn up and explained a little of Ryan's quirks, made everyone take a trip down memory lane and not all of it happy memories. Another brilliant book

Series may have burnt out,

Rather too much hero worshiping of the lead character, weakest story of the series maybe time to retire ?
