Dry Bones That Dream
Dry Bones That Dream | Peter Robinson
3 posts | 3 read
It was 2.47am when Chief Inspector Alan Banks arrived at the barn and saw the body of Keith Rothwell for the first time. Only hours earlier two masked men had walked the mild-mannered accountant out of his farmhouse and clinically blasted him with a shotgun. Clearly this is a professional hit - but Keith was hardly the sort of person to make deadly enemies. Or was he? For the police investigation soon raises more questions than answers. And who, exactly, is Robert Calvert? The more Banks scratches the surface, the more he wonders what lies beneath the veneer of the apparently happy Rothwell family. And when his old sparring partner Detective Superintendent Richard Burgess arrives from Scotland Yard, the case takes yet another unexpected twist... 'The novels of Peter Robinson are chilling, evocative, deeply nuanced works of art.' Dennis Lehane 'Peter Robinson's cast of characters is vividly drawn. Well written... highly entertaining.'

Devastating news, Peter Robinson author of the brilliant DCI Banks Series has died, aged 72.

This is the series that led to me falling back in love with Crime fiction, and the tagged book is the one I picked up from a charity shop which was responsible for this.

Thank you Peter and RIP, 😢

TheSpineView So sad!😥 2y
Lizpixie NO!!! I have this whole series, all 27 of them. I‘m absolutely saddened by this, I picked up Aftermath 20yrs ago on the sale table at my local bookstore and was totally hooked. I love Banks and the way he writes about Yorkshire has given me a love for that county, I wish I could see it myself. This is awful news.😢The one good thing is there‘s one more Banks novel set to come out next year 2y
Andrew65 @Lizpixie Aftermath is one of my favourite books. A favourite all time series. I live in that Yorkshire although not the rural part he talks about. With the new book I still have two to read. 2y

Lizpixie @andrew65 he talks about Yorkshire so beautifully you can just see it. I recently did my family tree in Ancestry and the part of my family that didn‘t come from Scotland, came from Yorkshire. What part do you live in? 2y

Andrew65 @Lizpixie I‘m originally from South London via Sunderland and Jarrow in the North-East of England. But lived in South Yorkshire for the past 22 years. The books cover more the area in North Yorkshire. 2y

I‘ve been stuck with these two series, because these books have “disappeared” from the library. I ended up ordering them online because apparently they‘re out of print, so the library can‘t get them 🤷🏼‍♀️ Didn‘t feel comfortable to just skip them and move on to the next one. I mean, we are talking about really important things here: book series, no skipping allowed!

TrishB Definitely not! 5y
