This was a great palate cleanser. A police-procedural, and book two in the DCI Ryan series, this kept me reading and guessing all the way. Loved the Northumberland setting. I‘ll confess to being a little confused with the way the ending turned out and disappointed that one major plot development wasn‘t wrapped up. I guess in that respect the trick to get me reading the next one worked! 👇

JillR Poor Sycamore Gap and it‘s now-felled tree. We had one of our best family walks along an 8-mile stretch of Hadrian‘s Wall to Housesteads Fort via Sycamore Gap a few years ago. There are probably better police-procedural books in the genre but I do love that this series is set in an area we‘ve spent some great holidays in. 10mo

I read this book a while ago but wanted to say how much I enjoyed it.The characters are more flushed out than the first book in the series.
When I was reading the book I had a zoom meet with my niece&her husband who live in New Castle upon Tyne, right near the Gap.Coincidently,that very weekend they had just visited Hadrian‘s Wall & Sycamore Gap.Someday I would love to visit them & experience this ancient history myself.

Second of this series and pretty sure I am going to whizz through the rest. Whilst the story is oddly unbelievable the writing is great and set in one of my favourite parts of the country. These would turn to tv well (not my photo - despite plenty of walks along the wall I don‘t appear to have any photos!)
