Book starts out slow with dark story of drugs, murder, sex trafficking. Not nice subject matters. Gets better middle to end. Cliffhanging ending leaves things unresolved. Interesting characters. Intriguing plot with lots of twists. Many music references as usual. Not my favorite in the series but still a good read. Looking forward to next book. Recommend to those who love mystery thrillers.

Andrew65 I enjoyed it, but key theme wasn‘t an enjoyable theme. 4y

EadieB @Andrew65 I agree! Too dark for me too! 4y

Andrew65 @EadieB Definitely and not enough on the personal side either. I think he needs a relationship with someone. The series seems to have taken a dark turn. 4y

EadieB @Andrew65 I like all the stories from the beginning of the series where the series was more of a police procedural with familiar characters. The last few books have been a bit different and not in a good way. 4y

Andrew65 @EadieB Totally agree! Need to get back to those normal police procedurals. (edited) 4y

Crazeedi @EadieB I have to check where I left off with this series, I know I have several to catch up on 4y

gradcat @EadieB @Andrew65 @Crazeedi I used to love these books. This is yet another author that I just stopped reading for some reason that I now can‘t remember. Great review, Eadie...now I‘m trying to decide if I want to figure out where I stopped in the series and pick up the next book. Maybe I stopped reading them for the reasons you mention here in your comment, Eadie. 🤷🏽‍♀️ (edited) 4y

EadieB @gradcat I think it‘s just the last few that have major plot changes with foreign input. 4y

gradcat @EadieB Thanks for letting me know, Eadie. ♥️ 4y

I love this series, but although this one was very well written it is not one of my favourites in the series due to its subject matter. It is very heavily based on drugs, sex trafficking and gangs(ish). That‘s not to say it was not an enjoyable book, especially towards the end because it was very enjoyable - just not one of my favourites. Also cliff hanger end that is likely to feed into the next book. #SeparatedByaPondTour #NorthYorkshire

eanderson This looks like another series I may have to check out! 4y

marleed So, I saw this post and Annie Lennox started singing in my head. I‘m now on my iTunes library listening to her sing the song with this title. Thank you for that - she does such a beautiful job with this song! 4y

Andrew65 @marleed Great what books and posts can do. 😊 Funnily enough one of the lead characters in the book is an Annie and music figures strongly in the books. 4y

Andrew65 @eanderson It is a great series, and really gets going 2 or 3 books in. One of my favourite detective series. 4y

marleed @Andrew65 oh you must give this song a listen! I wonder if it would fit with the Annie in book! 4y

Andrew65 @marleed She does have a special voice and always has done from Sweet Dreams in her Eurythmics days. Annie is another strong personality. 4y

Crazeedi I love DCI Banks, one of my faves too 4y

Andrew65 @Crazeedi Yes 😍 4y

Finally got hold of a copy of the latest book in the DCI Banks series. Looking forward to reading this, always good to get back to a favourite series and an old friend. I wish Peter would find him a life partner though. This should also cover North Yorkshire for #SeperatedByaPondTour

Bk26 in the DCI Banks series was much better than the last one. Yes, there was still those annoying music references but not as many as the previous book. Plus the storyline was really good, very twisty & he pulled off the different parts of the story brilliantly, plus set up for the next book at the end. Very much enjoyed it. #Scareathlon #TeamSlaughter #ScaryScavengerHunt #WithAMatteCover #IsPartOfASeries 13points #PointsTotal-1,138

Over halfway with the 26th book in the DCI Banks series. My eyes are starting to flag,plus I‘ve been up for over 24hrs and I need sleep before starting the #24B4Monday at midnight tonight,so I‘ll be switching to an audiobook and taking a nanna nap soon. Then its a #libraryhaul with the books the hubby just picked up for me & maybe some #stacks for both the above ‘thon & the #Deweys24hrReadathon #Scareathlon #TeamSlaughter 1point #PointsTotal-1,123

Next up in my #Scareathlon playlist is the new DCI Banks from Peter Robinson. The series has been around for awhile, this is Bk26 so far and I‘ve read every one of them. A young boy is found dead in a bin, it looks like he‘d been starved. Was he discarded or left as a warning to someone? He looks middle eastern, but no one on the estate has ever seen him before. #Scareathlon #TeamSlaughter 1point #PointsTotal-962

#BookMail Pt2 is the next book in Robinson‘s DCI Banks series. I think this is Bk 26 I believe? I‘ve been reading him for years, ever since I picked up a copy of Aftermath in a sale & loved it. In this a young boy is found dead & no one knows who he is. Then another body turns up in an apparent overdose, but threads seem to join both cases. Fits my #Scareathlon #TeamSlaughter theme perfectly. 1point #PointsTotal-136

Crazeedi I've read probably 11 or 12 of this series, it's time I get busy reading more of the series! I love it 5y

#PutYourRecordsOn
Today‘s theme in #AyUpAugust made me think of Inspector Banks, who is always putting music on!
The new one is published next month, 😊
A great detective series if anyone has not read them.

Cinfhen, squirrelbrain

squirrelbrain I haven‘t read any Peter Robinson.... where do I start? 5y

Andrew65 @squirrelbrain Plenty to look forward to. I actually started with book 10 to see whether I would like them then started from book 1. I think the series gets better as it progresses but book 1 gives key information about his personal life and important to read these in order to see the character development.

Andrew65 @squirrelbrain That said they do read well as standalones. This is one of my favourite detective series. Along with the Roy Grace Series by Peter James and the Rebus Series by Ian Rankin. (edited) 5y

TrishB @Cinfhen I have number one ready but not started this series yet! 5y

Andrew65 @TrishB Just bear in mind I feel it takes a few books to really establish the series.It is one series I am fully up to date on, until next month. (edited) 5y

TrishB I‘m trying to get up to date with some others before starting new ones at the moment. But it‘s always good to know there‘s others ready! 5y

Andrew65 @TrishB I‘m in a similar position, far too many series on the go! (edited) 5y

gradcat @EadieB @TrishB @Andrew65 @Cinfhen I love this series, #seriessquad ... and I love the BBC adaptations as well! Having trouble with the internet this weekend, so while I have the chance...Hi y‘all + @squirrelbrain & @Crazeedi ! Hope everyone is having a great weekend! ♥️♥️♥️ 5y
