Careless Love
Careless Love: DCI Banks 25 | PETER. ROBINSON
10 posts | 4 read | 5 to read
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.

#RedRoseSeptember #Day3 #TubThumping Playing catch-up already, I‘m really awful at challenges lately! Quite a bit of the DCI Banks novels take place in pubs or drinking at home, particularly Banks & his whiskey obsession, though he‘s also partial to a good wine or boutique beer. I think most cop based books have more than their share of drinking scenes, you‘d think that all police have alcohol problems!🍷🍺🥃🍹

arlenefinnigan Good choice! 5y
MicheleinPhilly I‘ve not read these but we just finished watching the series. Loved it! 5y
Cinfhen Is this on Netflix @MicheleinPhilly ?? Glad you‘re participating this month, Liz!! Just pop in whenever you‘re up to it ❤️ 5y
MicheleinPhilly @Cinfhen No, it‘s on Amazon Prime. 5y

After a bit of a mid-series lull I think this series has once more become top notch. If you like British Detective fiction you need to read this series as it is one of the best. You won‘t struggle for anything to read - no.26 comes out later this year. This was a gripping story following a woman‘s body being found in a car involved in an accident a few days before. Only it wasn‘t in the car when the police originally attended the accident!

RachelAmphlett I agree - the last few books have been on top form! 5y
Crazeedi ❤️❤️❤️ DCI Banks!!! I have to check to see which book I finished last, I think maybe 14 or 15. So I have some catching up to do! But I like it, cause I can binge read...😉 5y
Andrew65 @Crazeedi plenty of great books to keep you going. 5y
Crazeedi @Andrew65 yep that's what I'm going to love!! 5y

Starting the most recent book in the Inspector Banks series, one of my favourite detective series. Strange to think this is Book 25 in the series and it is 32 years since the first one was published! 😳

aa_guer2021 😳 I cannot start a new detective series... But so tempting. 😂❤️📚 5y
Andrew65 @ruskigurl16 It is one of the best! 😂 5y
Swe_Eva I am so behind! Will start #14 next... 5y
Andrew65 @Swe_Eva That‘s good in a way, as it means you still have a lot of good books to look forward to. 😊 (edited) 5y
Swe_Eva @Andrew65 This is true! 👍🏻 5y

A young local student‘s body is found in an abandoned car. A man in his sixties is found dead in a gully up on the wild moorland. Mystery surrounds these two cases. How are they connected? A source close to Annie reveals an old enemy has returned in a new guise. Glad to be back with Banks to see what is going on in his life. 25th book and I can't wait for the next one. Highly recommend this series to those who love British mystery.

And I‘m done. Finally! For it being No25 in the series, while not quite as amazing as some of his previous DCI Banks books(Aftermath & Piece Of My Heart are 2 of the best imho)it was still a cracking good read. Thank god Robinson is more like Karin Slaughter than like Patricia Cornwall in that regard. And that ending! He better be writing the next one very bloody quickly after a cliffhanger like that.🎢

EadieB @lizpixie I just started this one! 5y

Trying desperately to ignore my eye strain headache and finally get this finished tonight. I really need my eyes fixed!!! My doctor suggested I stop reading until I see the ophthalmologist. He apologized after I bitch slapped him.🤣 But seriously, come on Eyes. Give me a break 👀

ofclumsywords I understand your pain! I just got new glasses after realizing it was getting harder to read and I needed to stop being stubborn about going to the dr. 6y
JacqMac Stop reading!? How crazy! I need new glasses. But I‘ve been putting off the old lady lenses. 6y

1. ET! My brother got his first job & as a treat he took my sister & I to see it at The Roxy theatre in Parramatta.
2. Both. They have to be super crunchy & super salty.
3. I listen to everything except hokey country & misogynistic rap.
4. Careless Love by Peter Robinson
5. On my way!

Next up in my reading list is the new DCI Banks novel from Peter Robinson. No25 in the series,Banks & Annie both have unexplained bodies on their hands which end up tenuously linked.If you‘re a newbie to this series I highly recommend starting from the 1st book, Gallows View.Written in the mid 80s, it‘s a little bit dated, but there‘s so much context that you need to know if you want a real picture of Banks & his squad(yes I know,25 books!)

The first #BookMail of August is my preorder of Peter Robinson‘s latest DCI Banks novel. I first got hooked on this series when I picked up a copy of Aftermath 15yrs ago from one of those stalls in the middle of shopping centres that have discounted books. It intrigued me coz it was all about what happens after the killer is caught. Then I went back & found every book in the series & I haven‘t been disappointed yet. This is No25.

Cinfhen Oh wow! That‘s a commitment 😁 6y
Lizpixie @Cinfhen my longest committed relationships have all been with books!🤓❤️📚 6y
Cinfhen I thought you might say that 🤭😉😂 6y
