Summary

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

After a busy year fighting crime, DCI Ryan and his team of murder detectives are enjoying a festive season of goodwill, mulled wine and, in the case of DS Phillips, a stottie cake or two - that is, until a freak snowstorm forces their car off the main road and into the remote heart of Northumberland. Their Christmas spirit is soon tested when they’re forced to find shelter inside England’s most haunted castle, where they’re the uninvited guests at a ‘Candlelit Ghost Hunt’. It’s all fun and games - until one of the guests is murdered. It seems no mortal hand could have committed the crime, so Ryan and co. must face the spectres living inside the castle walls to uncover the grisly truth, before another ghost joins their number....

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

Addictive reading!

Another riveting DCI Ryan story from LJ ROSS. Great for curling up in an armchair by the fire.

Enjoyed this shorter than usual DCI Ryan book. Simple plot but fun to read.

“Once You Die, You Die”.

I found the latest audiobook in the DCI Ryan Mysteries to be a good and easy listen.

Whilst it did have the usual twists and turns that LJ Ross uses, in this case they weren’t necessarily unexpected ones.

The story felt very much like a cross between an Agatha Christie novel and Cluedo.

I was also slightly disappointed that the audiobook was so short. However, having said all that, it was still an enjoyable listen.

As all, Jonathan Keeble, was definitely the voice of the characters we’ve known and grown to love.

Standard kept up!

Although a short story the suspense was excellent as normal! Always a good story with twists and turns and always read well by Jonathan! Excellent as usual!!
