A Nice Place to Die

DS Ryan McBride Novel Series, Book 1

By: J. Woollcott

Narrated by: Alan Smyth

The body of a young woman is found by a river outside Belfast and Detective Sergeant Ryan McBride makes a heart-wrenching discovery at the scene, a discovery he chooses to hide even though it could cost him the investigation—and his career.

The victim was a loner but well-liked. Why would someone want to harm her? And is her murder connected to a rapist who's stalking the local pubs? As Ryan untangles a web of deception and lies, his suspects die one by one, leading him to a dangerous family secret and a murderer who will stop at nothing to keep it.

And still, he harbors his secret . . .

Just what I was looking for!

I love finding a new to me author. I tire of sifting through all the so-so books in this genre to find a real gem but I found one.

Great narration and side characters

I loved it :) great cast of characters, some more dimensional than others, I recommend a listen and hope there are more books in this series to come! 🥰

So good!

At first I wasn’t sure.. the narrator has a weird infection that makes everything sound like a question. It took me awhile to get used to, but it didn’t take long until I didn’t even notice it. And boy am I glad I stuck it out! It’s a GREAT story, love the characters. I’m excited to listen to more in this series! And hey… I even like the narrator now haha definitely recommend if your a TanaFrench, jo Spain and Dervla Mctiernan fan. Can’t get enough of Irish crime/ police procedural novels!
