Book Tour + Review + #Giveaway: Detective Ryan Mysteries by Clive Fleury @clivefleury @SDSXXTours

 


The truth doesn’t sleep — and neither does Detective Ryan.


Off Season

A Detective Ryan Mystery #1

by Clive Fleury

Genre: Cozy Mystery



Detective Ryan navigates drug overdoses, a mysterious foot on the beach and a long-buried cold case.

Detective Ramesh Ryan's career with Sydney's prestigious Organized Crime Unit is on the up, until he loses a court case against the city's most powerful drug dealer. In disgrace, the detective is relocated to the tiny Australian beach town of Barton.

It is off-season in Barton-when its few criminals usually take a well-earned rest. But not this year! With the detective's arrival, the town suddenly becomes murder central. Two bodies are discovered in the space of days, both victims of drug overdoses. Then a mysterious foot is found washed up on the beach, and memories are awoken of an unsolved cold case of the teenager who disappeared fifteen years ago. Add to this a blossoming romance, along with a contract taken out on Ryan's life, and it's clear that the detective has jumped out of the Sydney frying pan into the Barton fire.

What follows is an action-packed adventure, thrilling at every turn-where truth and lies are almost impossible to separate, and unexpected twists are the order of the day.

Off Season is narrated from the viewpoints of various characters, providing the reader with deeper understanding of the events surrounding each case linked to Detective Ryan.

After experiencing a defeat in court against the city's most formidable drug lord, Detective Ryan is sent by his superior to the quaint Australian coastal town of Barton, leaving behind the bustling lifestyle of Sydney.

Currently, it’s the off season in Barton, which typically suggests that Detective Ryan’s workload should be light, right? However, this season proves otherwise, as numerous cases arise, challenging both him and his new partner, Senior Constable Zoe Yang.

I found Off Season to be an engaging read, packed with enough action to keep the pages turning. The numerous twists kept me on my toes, with each turn of the page revealing more about Ryan and Zoe's investigations.

I appreciated getting to know each character, some of whom were admirable while others were less so, but this dynamic is what fuels the thrill of a narrative and compels you to return for more—at least, that’s part of why you keep coming back. A mystery that keeps you guessing and yearning to uncover every detail as it gradually unveils its secrets.

I wholeheartedly recommend Off Season to all fans of crime mysteries! Make sure to pick up a copy of Off Season today!







All Or None

A Detective Ryan Mystery #2


Returning to Sydney, Detective Ramesh Ryan is promoted to the Homicide Squad. Zoe Yang joins him there. Now a detective herself, she is assigned as his junior partner. Straight up, the cops are off and running-investigating the discovery of a murdered company director. Following the clues, Detective Ryan finds that this and a second murder may be linked to past events.

As the pressure mounts for a quick solution to the case, the detective finds that he too, is in the killer's crosshairs. But Ryan is distracted from the investigation by a romantic encounter with an old university friend. He also worries about his mother, Mumta, and her new obsessive desire for grandchildren from her only son. Could this be linked to her recent medical tests? And there's another pressing problem-the plague of rats in his apartment block.

Detective Ryan's hands are well and truly full!

 

Praise For ALL OR NONE

A riveting read. Anyone who likes mystery and crime, you won’t be able to put this down. Thought it was an elegant continuation of this universe. - Carolina R, Amazon Reviewer

I really enjoyed this book. I love it when you keep changing your mind about who did it to find out at the end that you're still wrong. – Nancy F., Goodreads Reviewer

 

All or None exceeded my expectations. The murders kept me guessing, but what I loved most was Ryan himself tough on the outside, vulnerable on the inside, and surrounded by challenges that made him relatable. – Mary M., Goodreads Reviewer

 

I devoured this ARC in two sittings. The tension builds perfectly, and the clues are woven in so well that you feel like you’re investigating alongside Ryan and Zoe. The personal subplots (his mom, the romance, even the rats!) add depth without slowing down the action. – Minor C, Goodreads Reviewer
