The Creek: A Summer Suspense Mystery (The Summer Suspense Mysteries Book 2)

Product Information

But Ryan’s plans go up in smoke when events take a dramatic turn. Now he must stay and face his past one last time, or watch a friend suffer the consequences.

Suspense is peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced mystery, set amidst the spectacular Cornish landscape.

Kate soon learns that the past always catches up with you, in the end-the question is, will she be able to face it, when it does? Then, on Good Friday morning he receives a call to attend 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. When a man is found dead at the remote church of Heavenfield, DCI Ryan is the only other person for miles around. The police have no weapon, no motive, and no other suspects.

Marrying money and fame doesn't bring you happiness; that's what Kate discovered after marrying Will Irving. Will was a T.V. star who played the role of Superman in a new T.V. series. Underneath all his drama Will was a cold-blooded creature. Kate knew she had to get away from him. Waking up her 4-year-old son, Jamie, they fled into the night. Will, standing in the middle of his driveway, screamed obscenities after them. The ‘Underground Killer’ takes his victims when they least expect it: standing on the edge of a busy Tube platform, as they wait for a train to arrive through the murky underground tunnels of London. It’s been five months since a killer walked free and DCI Ryan is preparing to leave Newcastle to hunt him down — this time, for good. Her husband also has permanent recognition on every book cover in her choice of attribution as a tribute to his support. The second initial in LJ Ross stands for her husband James, while the first initial is for her first name, Louise.Enquiry lines cross and merge as Ryan must face his own demons and enter into a deadly game of cat and mouse with a killer who seems unstoppable.

The series begins with him being the only member of an elite criminal profiling unit to escape from a storm of scandal and mismanagement. He is adamant he will begin a quiet life, but a murderer loose in the beautiful hills of County Mayo, Ireland draws him into the murder investigation to aid the Garda. Before she became an author Ross was a practicing lawyer in London. She grew up in Northumberland, England — where many of her books take place — and attended King’s College at the University of London for her undergraduate and postgraduate in law. She also studied in Paris and Florence.One of the latest series from LJ Ross, the Summer Suspense Mysteries take place in the beautiful Cornish seaside. There will be a new publication each year. When they receive an invitation to attend the staff summer party — a Victorian murder mystery evening — it’s all a joke until the lights go out and an elderly man turns up dead. It looks like an unfortunate accident. But, as the dead man’s life begins to unfold, Ryan and his team of detectives realise that all is not as it appears. It begins with the story of Gabrielle Adams who has escaped to rural Cornwall to run a tiny bookshop and escape the horror of her life after she survives an encounter with the “Underground Killer” waiting for the Tube to arrive one day. While she thinks the picturesque cove offers her the perfect escape, a new nightmare soon unfolds.
