The Rock

The DCI Ryan Mysteries, Book 18

By: LJ Ross

Narrated by: Jonathan Keeble

From the number one international best-selling author of Holy Island and Impostor.

From the shadows into the light....

When a fishing boat is wrecked off the treacherous North Sea coast and the body of a young woman washes up on the beach beside the iconic ‘Marsden Rock’, DCI Ryan cannot ignore the call to duty.

With one already dead and more human cargo missing from the wreckage, Ryan and his team race to find the remaining souls - before it’s too late and their investigation turns to murder. As they uncover the seedy underbelly of Tyneside, cold and calculated opportunism clashes with the rock-hard arm of the Law, but there’s one thing that proves stronger than stone....

The human spirit.

Murder and mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunnit set amidst the spectacular North Eastern landscape.

Always does a fantastic job of making you feeling a part of the story and a part of the lives of these characters. I love that she always includes a mild recap on the characters. It enables you to read them as stand alone titles without feeling lost in the series. Her books are filled with intense emotion and detail. This book in particular, she took extra care in the dedication and prefacing with a warning about the topic. Trafficking is a sensitive topic and not many authors include a warning of the content and tribute to the real men &women that that suffer their fate.
Always one of my favorite reads.

Great Read

We’ve now finished 18 of 21 books in the DCI Ryan series. It’s 18 for 18 five star ratings. It’d be very hard to pick a favorite as they’re all exceptionally well written. Can’t wait to start #19!

Awesome series..

Love, love, love the DC Ryan Mysteries. I've read them all except Cuthbert's Way, that one would never download for me. Not even the people at Audible could help me. So, hopefully I didn't miss another great book because I finally gave up on it.

This one was about human trafficking and, I swear, Lawana was one of the bravest women I've ever read about AND I'm going to assume the last guy who took her will be in the next book, cuz he sure got away in this one.

No sex or swearing at all.

As for the narration: Jonathan Keeble is awesome in this book. You don't even have to be told who's talking, if you've read all the Ryan books, because his voices for all the main characters are always so exact, so perfect.

Brilliant

Powerful writing grippin g throughout. Marvellous reading by Jonathan Keable
I will regret leaving all these characters

Wow, what a book, one of the best, this brought out so many emotions in me while I was listening to it. DCI Ryan & Team are one of my favorite characters and would so love them to make a TV series out of them. I am sure it would be followed by millions of people, as the books are. I am totally addicted. Love the narration, the best.
