Publisher's summary

He'll make you his angel, but first you have to die....

After a turbulent time, DCI Ryan's life is finally beginning to return to normal, and he's looking forward to spending an uneventful Easter bank holiday weekend with his fiancée. Then, on Good Friday morning, he is called out to a crime scene at one of the largest cemeteries in Newcastle. The body of a redheaded woman has been found buried in a shallow grave, and the killer has given her wings, like an angel. Soon another woman is found at a different cemetery, followed quickly by another. Panic spreads like wildfire as a new serial killer is born, and Ryan's band of detectives must work around the clock to unmask him before he can strike again. Murder and mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunit set amidst the spectacular Northumbrian landscape.

It’s ok

I like the characters, though I too am a bit weary of hearing about the seemingly endless wondrous charms of our heroic DCI. Personally I prefer his rather more down to earth DS.

Storyline wise I think there are only so many times you can recycle a plot in which someone you love or one of your team is in mortal peril before it becomes old and so far every book in this series has used that ploy. I’ve already downloaded the next book so I’ll hear it out, but that might be the last one for me.

On a positive note the narration is very good and the accents convincing.

Mixed feelings about this one

I like this series and the characters, but I do feel that each book is marginally less good than the previous one. I’m a bit annoyed by the way the author is trying to sell Ryan’s character. I get it: he’s handsome and smart, stop pointing it out. Let the character speak by his actions rather than the adoration of the supporting characters. If I have to read about his silver eyes one more time I may strain a muscle from rolling my eyes.
The story was interesting, but what really saved this one was the ending

Very good

These books are definitely improving

This was a definite "can't put down" book. I'm glad The Circle is gone but now we have another religious oriented mystery. Ryan and all his team are pulled in a few directions as women are found murdered. Is there a connection? Are Denise and/or Anna targeted? A great story with one of the best narrators I've heard lately.

Why do I always think the narrator is saying Brian not Ryan 😄

Great story and very skilled narrator who manages multiple accents seamlessly. But it drives me crazy how often I think he is saying Brian not Ryan!!!

4 should easily have been a 5

I could have and should have been able to rate this 5. I love the series. I love the characters. I love the narrator. I give authors literary license to have their very sharp protagonists do some things a cop would never do. It's a story, afterall. But this particular edition took it to a whole new level at one point. I almost literally slapped my forehead. A teenage stoner wouldn't have done what he did, much less a savvy cop. Why didn't the editor catch it? Something like that pulls the plug on your enthusiasm. So many options. I don't get it.

Always a good listen

This book was not necessarily my favorite but , as always, the narration by Jonathan Keeble is outstanding. The emotion he demonstrates makes the story. Plus, I particularly relish listening to his Sergeant Phillips, one of the best characters in the series. I’m on to Book 5.
