Fast Pace and Powerful Prose
I really liked L.J.Ross’ crime thriller, ‘Holy Island.’ I know Lindisfarne well and thoroughly enjoyed being taken back to its rugged isolation by the author. However, I’ll never look at the locals in the same way again after reading this book!
D.C.I. Ryan and Dr. Anna Taylor are strong and attractive characters (although I felt Anna could have played a bigger role in the investigation.)
My only other complaint is all the unnecessary head-hoping from one character's point of view to another which I found disconcerting at times. The romantic scenes didn’t detract from the power of this thriller. L.J. keeps the pace moving and the story powers towards the dramatic finale.
