About this listen

Peter Robinson is one of the crime world's finest stylists. Not Safe After Dark is a collection that will explore our hidden paranoia, challenge all that we take for granted, lure us to new, exotic places only for us to wish we could run back home, and keep us up all night just waiting for the safety of the dawn . . .

Not Safe After Dark was Peter’s first collection of stories to be published in the UK and featured ‘Innocence’, winner of the Crime Writer of Canada’s Best Short Story Award.

Critic reviews

Chilling, evocative, deeply nuanced works of art (Dennis Lehane)
Readers who know Robinson only through his Inspector Banks novels are in for a treat
All stars
Most relevant
Despite the odd interesting experiment ("The Duke's Wife" in Volume Three, for example, a short story of murder featuring the characters from Shakespeare's Measure for Measure) and brief interludes filling in the gaps between the Inspector Banks novels, this collection is a slightly disappointing one. The stories are frequently predictable, unlike the full-length Inspector Banks novels, and certainly not up to Robinson's usual standard.

Bit cheeky stretching the book over three audiobooks, too!

Not Robinson's best work

Very mediocre, quite bland in places, with only a little excitement to keep me switched on.

Not for me!
