Welcome to Litsy!

#DCIBanksMystery #13 #serieslove2025
I may take a break from this series only because I do not want to finish these books too fast. But i just had to see Banks through this one book after the previous tumultuous Aftermath‘s journey into the bowels of evil.

There is just something so great about reading a long series, getting to know the people, and then just return to the same place. Comforting! ❤️

Went to the library. Only walked past the mystery and thriller books. Quite excited about these books. Varied and super interesting looking books. Now I‘m almost regretting my super social long midsummer weekend 🤣

@TheAromaofBooks February #bookspin review

Trigger alert : Mentions rape, assault
.
'The summer that never was' is a pretty straightforward police procedural/crime book. I wouldn't classify it as a thriller because there wasn't really much element of surprise.

This was my February bookspin read😂. I couldn't finish it because my university exams kept me too occupied. But now with the quarantine and all the exams postponed, I guess I could finish this by the end of this week.

So this is my book 12 for #bookspin by @TheAromaofBooks

This book has been on my TBR for 3 years now I think. And I'm finally picking it up. It was completely covered in dust. I don't think I've even flipped through it after I bought it. 😂
I don't think I'll be able to finish it by the end of this month or the next because of my college final exams but here's hoping I push through!

First Peter Robinson book first inspector Banks book. Plot centres around 2 investigations around teen deaths. One current one in the 60s. Very competently written. I've read quite a few police procedure novels and this is up there. Would like a few more descriptive metaphors but does the nuts and bolts really well. Will probably now start to read the series in order. A pick from me. A solid 7/10 👍🏻

a little drool collecting at the corner of his mouth, one half of his face drooping lower than the other, as if it had melted like a Dalí watch.

‘It‘s hard knowing what to allow and what not to. It‘s hard to know how much discipline to apply. If you don‘t give enough, then the child runs wild, and the parents get the blame. If you keep too strict control, he doesn‘t develop naturally and he blames you for screwing him up

This fits #CruelSummer. This is book 13 in the Inspector Banks Series. In this one, the body of Inspector Banks' childhood friend (who disappeared when they were teenagers), is discovered one Summer, but some 40 years later! Could Inspector Banks be a murderer? #crimefiction.

Do love this detective series. This book has also been published under the title Close To Home.

#MarchIntoReading #day20 #aseasoninthetitle Three winters and three summers, but I could not find one autumn or spring. Not on any of my shelves, though I must admit, it wasn't the best of searches. But even if you do a google search for season in book title, it's summer & winter that crop up more often than not. I wonder why? Maybe they just sound more dramatic, the depths of winter, the scorching summer. Hmmm.🤔

Love how he ties things together at the end, finding parallels between Graham & Luke. They were teenaged boys with 40 years between the disappearances but there were indeed comparisons. Each book includes Banks musical education.I'm on book 14 now and his taste in music evolves each time. Fav author
