Sycamore Gap

The DCI Ryan Mysteries, Book 2

De: LJ Ross

Narrado por: Jonathan Keeble

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 10 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.

Potential is there

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No

What three words best describe Jonathan Keeble’s performance?

OK-not great.

Could you see Sycamore Gap being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

It may make a better movie than book.

Any additional comments?

Although the first book was somewhat unpolished with unbelievable dialog and reactions of main characters I sensed real potential in first book in the series so I read the second--Sycamore Gap. There are moments in the book that are well done. But sadly, there are overshadowed by many moments that seem juvenile, simply unbelievable and disjointed. Just didn't come to together at the end. Perhaps with a little more practice? Again, there is some potential.

Disappointed

Diappointed after reading this long follow-up from the authors first book in this series. I thought he would wrap it up but obviously it didn't end it just set up for the next book. Apparently this is to go on and on. I'll not be looking for the next one as I'm sure it woin't end either. Too bad as narrator is good, story ok but not worth 3 books!!!

Great narration.

Hooked from the beginning to end. Now on to the next book in the series

Too much

Some will enjoy the complex round about but not the cosy listen I was after

Oh my!

This was such a good story! Both the immediate case and the overarching menacing thread. I can’t wait to see how the Circle will get destroyed. I’m already downloading book three 😉
