The Shrine

The DCI Ryan Mysteries, Book 16

By: LJ Ross

Narrated by: Jonathan Keeble

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

A murder for the history books.

After a long and eventful winter, DCI Ryan and his team are looking forward to the joys of spring. But, when one of their colleagues is shot dead on her own doorstep and the brass think it’s an inside job, Ryan finds himself drafted in to investigate.

He’s barely scratched the surface when reports flood in of a terror explosion at Durham Cathedral. Chaos descends on the sleepy, historic city and, when the smoke clears, they find a priceless artefact that once belonged to Saint Cuthbert is missing.

With tensions running at an all-time high, unable to trust the local police, can Ryan and his team bring a killer to justice — and restore Cuthbert’s cross to its natural resting place?

Murder and mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunit set amidst the spectacular landscape of County Durham.

Too short

This audio started off well enough but ended too quickly seemed like half a story. Otherwise great writing as usual.

Great author, great reader

Another enthralling detective novel by a wonderful writer. Ryan and his colleagues zip through an investigation, only to wonder...

New to the series. I like it.

This was a plus free listen. The book is short, but complete enough. I will probably read more in the series as the characters are relatable and pleasant.

Another Great Book

This is another very good story in a long line of great books about DCI Ryan. Highly recommended!

Excellent..

Another wonderful book about Ryan, Anna, Frank and MacKenzie. This time Anna is caught in an explosion and she’s hurt pretty badly, and Ryan is out for blood. Unfortunately, the story doesn’t end with this book. It’s not a cliffhanger but the story will go on about Cuthbert’s Cross in the next book.

No romance and no swearing.

As to the narration: Love, love, love Jonathan Keeble.
