As soon as I finished Cragside I was eager to start reading the next book by L J Ross. Even though it is only the second book that I have read in this series I feel as if I have known Ryan and the rest of the team for so much longer. This set of characters are brilliant and even though there is a very turbulent time in their working life there is still plenty of banter and a lovely sense of friendship within this team. Although there were a few times when I was shouting "no don't do it" at some of the situations that cropped up in this story. It really is a great contrast to have the loveable characters then to the ones who you despise!
I have always found cold cases intriguing especially as the killer will have carried on with their life without facing the repercussions of their actions. So I loved the fact that this book revolved around a cold case and all the complications that come with it. As usual I will never make a great detective but I still enjoyed trying to put the pieces together. I was kept guessing throughout especially as there are a number of suspects to choose from.
L J Ross has a fantastic way of setting the scene with descriptions that easily puts the reader right in the middle of the investigation. Whether it's setting the scene and bringing the area of Kielder Forest to life or to the characters who will have you rooting for them. I was completely wrapped up in the entire story and I was reluctant to put it down other than to sleep.
Engaging characters and brilliant writing, Dark Skies is another fantastic addition to the DCI Ryan Mystery series!
Five stars from me!
