Sycamore Gap (DCI Ryan Mysteries, #2)
by

Perhaps it didn’t help that I started at the second book in the series, but I don’t understand the hype surrounding these books. Perfectly readable but very formulaic, drawing on pretty much every police thriller trope: the arrogant troubled detective, the criminal ‘mastermind’ who targets said detective’s family, the killer who goes to the effort of meticulously explaining their evil plans to their victim rather than just killing them, the oddball suspect who lives with his mother a la Norman Bates, the casual sexism when describing female characters . . . I could go on. Such a popular series that I’m clearly missing something, but it’s just not for me.
