Sycamore Gap by LJ Ross
Many thanks to the author and Maxine at Booklover Catlady Publicity Services for my review copy of Sycamore Gap.
I was super excited to get a copy of this book, as I had read Louise's previous book in the series, Holy Island and loved it. You can read my review for Holy Island here.
About the book: (via Goodreads)
The past never stays buried for long...
Detective Chief Inspector Ryan believes he has put his turbulent history behind him. Then, in the early hours of the summer solstice, the skeleton of a young woman is found inside the Roman Wall at Sycamore Gap. She has lain undiscovered for ten years and it is Ryan's job to piece together her past.
Enquiry lines cross and merge as Ryan is forced to face his own demons and enter into a deadly game of cat and mouse with a killer who seems unstoppable.
Murder and mystery are peppered with a sprinkling of romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunnit set amidst the spectacular scenery of Hadrian's Wall country in Northumberland.
My thoughts:
Sycamore Gap follows on from the events in Holy Island. DCI Ryan is tasked with a murder investigation following the discovery of skeletal remains in Hadrian's Wall. As past and previous cases collide, the investigations have sever implications for everyone involved.
I loved the pace of this book. Having read (and loved) Holy Island, I was keen to see how the events in this book would play out so I read it as fast as possible.
DCI Max Ryan is a great character! He has been through a lot but he still manages to keep a strong exterior, while he's fighting his inner demons. Anna is also back in this book. I really like her character, she's feisty and well able to handle Ryan.
Sycamore Gap is a completely thrilling read. The fact that it merges past and previous investigations is fantastic. You get more background on The Hacker case along with tying in with the ritualistic murders that took place on Holy Island in the previous book.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Even more than I did Holy Island, so much so that I gave it 5 ⭐️ on Goodreads after finishing it last night.
My thanks again to Louise and Maxine for my review copy.
Happy reading
