Summary

The 27th book in the number one best-selling Alan Banks crime series - by the master of the police procedural.

The gruesome double murder at an Eastvale property developer's luxury home should be an open and shut case for Superintendent Banks and his team of detectives. There's a clear link to the notoriously vicious Albanian mafia, men who left the country suspiciously soon after the death. Then they find a cache of spy-cam videos hidden in the house - and Annie and Gerry's investigation pivots to the rape of a young girl that could cast the murders in an entirely different light.

Banks's friend Zelda, increasingly uncertain of her future in Britain's hostile environment, thinks she will be safer in Moldova hunting the men who abducted, raped and enslaved her than she is Yorkshire or London. Her search takes her back to the orphanage where it all began - but by stirring up the murky waters of the past, Zelda is putting herself in greater danger than any she's seen before.   

And as the threat to Zelda escalates, so does the danger for Banks and those who love her....

Disappointing

The story of Zelda continues. She has become a bore. Her Wonder Woman exploits are simple unbelievable. The parallel story is more interesting.

Disappointing

I think Alan Banks should hang up his handcuffs. I am heartily sick of the constant music references , most of which I have not heard. The plot line was poor in my opinion and I dislike most of the characters. One should feel sorry for Zelda but I wanted to shake her. I find the narrator's voice extremely irritating as well , he speaks through his nose and swallows mid sentence. It's come to the end of the road .

Not Dark Yet

Endless musical references became tedious and political prejudices of the author rather too obvious.

Low standard.

This and his previous book have been poor, tedious. I always looked forward to a new release.

Darker Banks

The last two books in the Banks cannon have been much darker than some of his earlier cases.
It was fairly obvious that this book would continue the story of Zelda but it now seems likely that,with the possible exception of a few references,we will move on.
It will be interesting to see in which direction the Banks series will go next.

Mr Robinson doesn’t disappoint

Another clever & interesting plot, sad and difficult at times. Lots of good plot twists and a satisfactory conclusion of the Banks storyline?


If you have misophonia you may find the ‘saliva sounds’ of the narrator hard to bear- I had to listen with the sound muted with ear plugs, but still glad I purchased this novel.
