Stop off at the nearby Sill, the UK’s National Discovery Centre and have a reviving cuppa after a long walk and take in those magnificent surroundings.

Bamburgh Castle materialised on the horizon, its pink-hued stone glowing in the hazy afternoon sun. Like the stuff of legend, of kings and folklore. This really is a brilliantly woven series of crime, intrigue, romance and spectacular sense of place. Yet again the book is set in the North-East of England which I am a bit biased about as that's where I live. It's great knowing where the places and locations are. I loved the pace of this book and it keeps you enthralled from beginning to end. For those who have been following the series you will enjoy this book especially as an ongoing situation comes to a grand finale (no spoilers!). Loved it!

It’s quite hard to know what to say in my review for this book as I don’t want to give to much away in the previous book as well as this one. It was great to see one particular character in this book who I loved from the previous one as I was very invested in their story and whilst they don’t appear much in it, it was still great to catch up with them as it were.

Apart from the editing, which her husband proudly did, she did not have to pay anything, and was pleasantly surprised when the novel took off. She has been publishing as an Indie ever since.

Kaip faina - skaitydama šią knyga pajaučiau, kad pagaliau prisirišu prie veikėjų, man jie rūpi ir įsijaučiu taip, lyg apie savus skaityčiau. Nors detektyvo Rajeno seriją skaitau ne iš eilės, bet dabar jau norisi čiupt tą neskaitytą pradžią ir pasivyt iki naujausios knygos. O šioji - jau trylikta! I’m really enjoying following this series, and the development of the characters. LJ Ross has made them multi dimensional, believable and engaging, with distinct personalities and home lives that the reader can relate to. The stories are always set in an atmospheric (and real) location. The banter and strong sense of comradeship is very much in evidence again, which also adds to the realism. I love that some of the characters are all loved up and that there is a little bit of romance and happiness amongst all the murder.
