Critic reviews

“A literary phenomenon.” (Evening Chronicle)

"LJ Ross keeps company with the best mystery writers." (The Times)

Great twisty story

I am happy to say that a character who made me nuts in the last book does not play a role here so it was a story about catching the criminals. A few different storylines were woven together here and each had twisty resolutions. As a reader this one created all of the engrossment and none of the angst as the last one did. I’m back in- bring it on #9!

Another triumph from LJ Ross

No spoilers! But, for me, the main big bang at the beginning of Seven Bridges made me happy!! If you want to share in my joy of reading LJ Ross's Seven Bridges, and you've not read any Ross before, at the very least you need to begin reading with Cragside, Dark Skies, and then Seven Bridges. Trust me. However, personally, I recommend that if you are new to reading LJ Ross novels, you give yourself the gift of beginning with Holy Island, her first. Then read the rest in sequence. Even though it's not absolutely necessary, it will serve your reading enjoyment well. And, LJ Ross is a master storyteller, so if you feel "let down" at any point in a story... just wait-hold on. She never disappoints and you'll enjoy the many Aha! moments she creates. Loose ends are always tied-up nicely! I've only ever eagerly, and somewhat impatiently, awaited new works from the likes of J.K. Rowling, Dan Brown, Robert Galbraith, and Mark Dawson. LJ Ross resides among that group now! Do yourself a favor--read LJ Ross!

Excellent

Great listen. I enjoy LJ Ross’s books and this one was no exception. Great plot development, and engaging characters, Excellent narration.

Great plot twists

Author and narrator both deliver an excellent listen. I apparently became involved with the characters, based in my desire to smack the internal affairs person.

Love this Series!

I did enjoy this book the most recent in the series. I come from Newcastle so my enjoyment is enhanced because I recognize so many of the places in the books. Of course they still are great books even if you have never been there. The series has interconnected stories so I advise reading them in order. LJ Ross has created great characters and knows how to keep the tension mounting. She also is quite capable of delivering surprises you didn’t see coming.
