Unexpectedly boring, very tedious story-line, un-engaging characters, corny humour… I’m a HUGE fan of this series but this book lacked the usual hallmarks of great suspense and character build-up; there’s usually a sub-plot alongside the main gripping storyline, but not this time.

DCI Ryan’s North East Ever thought of retracing the footsteps of DCI Ryan and DS Phillips in the North East of England? As I said, these are all there, but they seem to be somewhat eclipsed - or at least interrupted - by references to tedious aspects of modern life.The environmentalism and fracking debates were interesting, but I would have liked these to have been more of a focus than the repeated worshipful paragraphs about Ryan. I found Ross's writing irritating at times, and I'm not sure if it's because I am unfamiliar with the series and its idiosyncrasies, but there were a few things that grated on me, personally.

Ross's description of the settings of Lady's Well, which allowed me to imagine being part of the book's plot. I absolutely love this series, and Northumbria, England is one area of England which I have not visited very often, but these characters are so real to me, I feel that they are my friends. When I settle down with these stories I feel like I’m just catching up with some old friends, they’re absolutely wonderful characters and having learnt so much about them along the journey of these mysteries, I feel like I actually know them. So many phrases that just grated because yes, they do the job, but isn't there a fresher way to say them? I would have liked to hear more about the Well, the village of Holystone, The ancient Pagan and Christian past, and the surrounding landscape.
