Just finished Lady’s Well by LJ Ross. This is book 20 in the DCI Ryan Mysteries series. This story is another easy read from Ross that blends an appealing cast of characters and the Northumberland setting. This story’s plot was shallower than earlier books in the series but will be an enjoyable read if you’re a fan.
