THE
PREQUEL TO THE #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER HOLY ISLAND AND NOW A
MAJOR NEW AUDIBLE ORIGINALS DRAMA STARRING TOM BATEMAN, KEVIN WHATELY, HERMIONE
NORRIS AND ALUN ARMSTRONG
No man is an island…
In the stifling summer heat of 2014, a killer has been stalking the streets of Newcastle causing city-wide panic. When the officer in charge of the case turns up dead, it falls upon Detective Chief Inspector Ryan to take up the baton and find the person responsible.
To the close-knit team of police in Northumbria CID, Ryan is still an outsider; aloof and uncompromising. He’s lived a charmed life and has an unbroken track record to match. But, as The Hacker’s death toll rises, Ryan realises this is one adversary he’ll never bring to justice on his own…
Murder and mystery are peppered with dark humour in this fast-paced crime thriller, set amidst the iconic North-Eastern landscape.
My Review
The Infirmary is the prequel to Holy Island and
tells the story of how DCI Ryan came to be on Holy Island in the very first
book.
This book to me was absolutely perfect but then
again I am a big big fan of L J Ross.
The Infirmary goes right back to the beginning and
for those who have read the other books helps tie up some of the loose ends,
for those that haven’t read the previous books …WHY NOT????? If you happen to be one of those that hasn’t
read the previous books, this is a good one to start with and I have no doubts
that you will then want to read the rest of the series.
It was nice in this book to learn more about Ryan
and Phillips and their relationship and the banter that they have and continue
to have.
All in all this is a fantastic book and to go into
any more detail would spoil it, but this series of books I would recommend
reading.
