Publisher's summary

"Robinson is an author with amazing empathy, a snare-trap ear for dialogue, and a clear eye for the telling detail." (Michael Connelly)

One of the world's greatest suspense writers returns with the 27th novel featuring the legendary Detective Alan Banks in the mystery series Stephen King calls "the best now on the market".

When property developer Connor Clive Blaydon is found dead, Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks and his Yorkshire team dive into the investigation. As luck would have it, someone had installed a cache of spy-cams all around his luxurious home. The team hope that they’ll find answers - and the culprit - among the video recordings.

Instead of discovering Connor's murderer, however, the grainy and blurred footage reveals another crime: a brutal rape. If they can discover the woman’s identity, it could lead to more than justice for the victim; it could change everything the police think they know about Connor and why anyone would want him dead.

Meanwhile, tensions are rising between Banks and his friend, Zelda. A super recognizer - able to recognize faces significantly better than most people - Zelda is determined to bring the men who abused her to justice. But stirring up the murky waters of the past will put her in far greater danger than ever before, and Banks worries that he won’t be able to stop her from plunging too deep before it’s too late.

Whew!

I think abridged would have been more enjoyable. The most exciting parts came after a bit too much extraneous “color” or detail. A good mystery, very exciting , with plenty of surprises. Some of the dialog could be used in real police questioning!

A really great plot

This was my favorite Banks novel of the 3 I’ve read so far ( kinda started at #28 because it was on sale, then read 26 then this one, 27). I actually teared up at the end more than once. Characters are nicely fleshed out, and though I could predict a couple of the plot twists, my suspension of disbelief was on at level 10 and I didn’t care! I wish there were more new ones from 28 on, but I’ll go back and do some of the others in the 20’s. Well read; nuanced, with good timbre and accent variety depending on chacracter.

Always Great!

Another perfect book from Peter Robinson. The 3-4 book arc of the character “Zeda” was completed nicely.

I liked Simon Vance as narrator

Vance’s characters were easier to tell apart and sounded closer to their age. The missing barrage of music credits made this story much more enjoyable also.

Wonderful


This book should not have been abridged. It’s a complete and full story, and as usual with Peter Robinson, perfectly paced.
