Peter Robinson, in my opinion, is one of the best writers of police procedurals. His characters are fascinating and believable. The stories get deeper and more meaningful and the characters richer and more complex with each new book. Alan Banks has grown to become a complicated man who is in conflict about his broken marriage and the demands of his job. I look forward to reading the next installment in this popular series.Odd one this. Very well written indeed - unbelievably grim, though. Being an adopted Torontonian, Robinson was, like me, horrified and transfixed by the Barnardo/Homolka rape and murder trials in the early 90s, when I was living in the city. He's said the book is inspired on the case. This book borrows heavily from that real life case in many key areas, in fact at times it reads like the thinly veiled true crime book he professes to want to avoid, but he diverts in one crucial detail - he
Wow! Really enjoyed this book, keeps you on your toes keeping up with the characters & the bodies! A phone call from a concerned neighbor leads police to a serial killer, Terence Payne, & a house of horrors! "As his eyes adjusted to the darkness in the room, Banks thought he could see little clumps of mushrooms growing here & there from the earth. Then he realized.....

It's a tough subject to read, I think I'd avoid it now as it's too upsetting. Peter's style and story are very good even though DCI Banks is more flawed a character than in the TV series. Recommended.
At first it seems that Lucy Pane is a victim of abuse at the hands of her husband. Then his secret basement killing room reveals him as a serial killer who has tortured and killed at least five young women, and people begin to wonder how Lucy could not have known. This brings psychologist Jenny Fuller back into Banks' life again as he deals with the news of Sandra's pregnancy as well as complications in his relationship with Annie Cabbott while she investigates the killing of Lucy's husband by a
Fantastic book! It starts out the opposite of most crime books . It reveals the killer in the beginning of the story and it reveals itself from there. There is a domestic incident at #35 the Hill and one Police officer ends up dead and the other seriously injured 9not to give too much away. Peter Robinson is now firmly my favorite crime and he's Canadian which is great even if he sets his books in his native England. His usual characters make an appearance in this book ( of course - Banks, Annie
