Like LJ Ross's style of writing and the DCI Ryan character, thought this was a bit slow in parts but overall good read

The first cycle of crimes seem to be resolved in this one with a very surprising killer and resolution.

I had been saving Heavenfield since its release because I didn’t know when the next installment of the DCI Ryan series would be released. And then I saw the cover reveal on FB and it’s coming soon so needless to say I hopped onto my kindle straight away to get into it!
As you all know, I love a good series and LJ Ross’s books are no exception. Reading these books is like catching up with old friends. There’s comfort in picking up the books because you know you won’t be disappointed.
I don’t like spoilers, so I will try keep my review succinct as I don’t want to give away anything about the plot. I recommend you read the precious books before this one if you haven’t already.
Heavenfield opens with a shocker, and it snowballs from there. The pace of the book is just excellent. It pulls you in immediately and it will not let you go until the final chapter. The characters from previous novels are all there in various states of play. The plot is superb, it is all interconnected through the series and it just flows so well.
I genuinely can’t say more about it without opening my big mouth and spoiling something so all I will say is LJ Ross is an excellent author and storyteller. The DCI Ryan series is excellent, and it keeps getting better with every new release! Bring on Angel!

Wow, another gripping and thrilling novel by this truly brilliant author. I have to admit I have a bit of a crush on DCI Ryan… hehe. Though again it did get a bit unrealistic at times , there was enough humour and wit and of course romance as well as a fast paced mystery to solve that cut through it. Honestly I am enjoying this wonderful series.

This was a real page turner and kept me wanting to read the chapter. This was a good third book in the series.
