When a
detective inspector is murdered while at St. Peter’s Police Treatment Center
Chief Inspector Alan Banks leads the investigation not knowing how deep the trail
will lead. Murder is not the only crime
being investigated as Chief Inspector Banks will soon find out when an officer
from Professional Standards, investigating allegations of police corruption,
intrudes in the case. As he gets close
to answers more questions and possible suspects materialize and it’s a struggle
to remember his prime objective.
This one
started out really slow for me. The
mystery intrigued me right away so I kept reading and by the time I was a
little more than halfway through the book it grabbed me. Usually this type of novel will suck me in
and keep me turning pages, but this one I thought about giving up on; I am glad
I didn’t. This is my first Peter
Robinson book so that could explain the problem since there are 19 more Alan
Banks novels before this one. I enjoyed
the characters, well I should say a few of the minor characters, and that
helped it along while getting to the bottom of the murder. There were a few side stories that were as
interesting as the original plot and by the end I felt good about the whole
thing. I like an author who can juggle
multiple side stories within one plot.
So overall I ended up liking this one more than I thought I would and
will gladly recommend it.
