The Infirmary: A DCI Ryan Mystery (The DCI Ryan Mysteries Book 11)

Reviews

Sandra Montgomery

Isn't it about time that the books became a TV series and Ryan becomes another Morse? I thoroughly enjoyed it. At six and half hours listening time it’s a more concise story than the books but compelling nevertheless with realistic dialogue, a very well crafted and written plot.

He’s just had word that John Dobbs, the prime suspect in a murder case, has jumped off the Tyne Bridge while being approached by two police officers. From starting reading the first book ‘Holy Island ‘ I always wanted to know how Ryan got to that stage in his life, even though the readers were basically aware of the loss of his sister, the author has brought his storyline right up into the heart & mind of the reader with dramatic effect and with care not to plunge them into feeling Ryan’s dispare as it’s worth back tracking to read Holy Island again, in all a great read and well written by a brilliant author Even though anyone who is familiar with the books will know how this ends, it doesn’t detract from the impact of the drama in any way. Ryan has a bad feeling as he and Phillips race to Cooper’s house.

And, although the story is harrowing with the most terrifying and brutal villain, much is left to the imagination. Tom Bateman as Ryan and Kevin Whately as Frank Phillips are perfectly cast and capture the nuances of the characters superbly. The suspense is palpable and the pace is just right throughout.

Ryan, Phillips, DS MacKenzie and the team pick up the investigation in a darkly action packed and haunting chase. It was really good, going back to the beginning of the series, it was brilliant. The Infirmary is a brilliant production. LJ Ross has done a great job giving an insight into, and greater understanding of, Ryan’s personality before the nightmare events that sent him to Holy Island, showing how those events influenced the person he became.

The Infirmary is a prequel, filling in DCI Ryan’s backstory pre Holy Island, and how he came to be taking a sabbatical at the start of the series. Her tracker is showing she’s at home and her car is parked outside.

It's like meeting up with old friends every time I start a new DCI Ryan thriller yet it doesn't seem possible that 'The Infirmary' is the eleventh book of the series. My only disappointment was that it came to an end and I will now have to wait some time before I can join my friends again.

Mark Bazeley—the killer, Bertie Carvel—the killer’s inner dialogue, both of whom are enough to make the blood run cold. The SIO in charge of the case, Sharon Cooper, is unable to be contacted. He’s totally focussed on his job and is determined to catch the killer.
