Summary

The thrilling twenty-fifth instalment in Peter Robinson's Number One bestselling Banks series, in which Banks and his team find themselves with two suspicious deaths.

A young local student has apparently committed suicide. Her body is found in an abandoned car on a lonely country road. She didn't own a car. Didn't even drive. How did she get there? Where did she die? Who moved her, and why?

Meanwhile a man in his sixties is found dead in a gully up on the wild moorland. He is wearing an expensive suit and carrying no identification. Post-mortem findings indicate he died from injuries sustained during the fall. But what was he doing up there? And why are there no signs of a car in the vicinity?

As the inconsistencies multiply and the mysteries proliferate, Annie's father's new partner, Zelda, comes up with a shocking piece of information that alerts Banks and Annie to the return of an old enemy in a new guise. This is someone who will stop at nothing, not even murder, to get what he wants - and suddenly the stakes are raised and the hunt is on.

One of Robinson’s best to date. Am guessing there is to a sequel as it left us guessing about one the plot lines.

Excellent

I enjoyed this book; it has all the classic ingredients I have come to expect. The story unfolds steadily, luckily with some summing up here and there. I like following Banks through his life and girlfriends and that he is coming to the realisation that beautiful young women he is attracted to are now often as young as his own daughter but am glad he still has a twinkle in his eye. Will he get back with Annie in his old age and would she want him? I like it that nothing in the story is black and white and Banks reflects on human folly at the end. I could see the book ending without knowing what happened to Zelda but she came in at the last moment, so I hope Robinson is writing the next book!

A classic Banks tale which does not disappoint. A great story and some more insight into Banks as a character even after so long.

A BANKS CLASSIC

Some of the conclusions could have been predictably reached earlier in the book, this story was dragged a bit but still if it was done to develop the story line and follow the characters, it was beautifully done and told. Another excellent Banks book!

Another excellent story

I always enjoy the stories and the narration is good. Like other people I found the references to classical music and poetry a bit heavy and felt it use is just to fill out the story. By now we all know Banks likes his music and poetry but give it a rest otherwise people will get bored and not bother to read any more

Too much bluster
