En ovanligt torr sommar
En ovanligt torr sommar | Peter Robinson
Torkan avslöjar en ondskefull hemlighet från det förflutna För fyrtio år sedan lades den engelska byn Hobb ?s End under vatten. En ovanligt torr sommar leder emellertid till att de bräckliga huskropparna träder i dagen – och med dem ett kvinnoskelett. Överkommissarie Alan Banks får, tillsammans med kriminalinspektör Annie Cabbot, den otacksamma uppgiften att identifiera den döda kvinnan. De fascineras av utredningsarbetet som för dem decennier bakåt i tiden. Vad ingen av dem anar är att en person tror sig sitta inne med lösningen på mordet, en person som hela livet fruktat att sanningen ska uppenbaras och som är beredd att ta den med sig i graven ... En ovanligt torr sommar är del 10 i serien om överkommissarie Alan Banks. Romanen belönades med Svenska Deckarakademins pris för bästa översatta kriminalroman 2001. Den har även erhållit det prestigefyllda Franska deckarpriset Le Grand Prix de Littérature Policiére och Anthony Award. Översättare: Annika Preis

My first read of April, from my #BookSpinBingo card. Another terrific Banks novel, slowly building; a book that takes its time but is still engrossing is the best kind. I can‘t imagine reading the Banks series out of order fwiw. The difference in Alan‘s life from book 1 to this one, no 10, is stark. The story of the hidden village and the parallel timelines are really well done. There is sexual violence.

To all who celebrate, Happy Easter!

Picked this up a few weeks ago at a community book exchange on Toronto Island. Inspector Banks - A new discovery. Now to start the back series (about 10). A great storyline about a drowned village in the Yorkshire Dales and life during WW2. Loved the tongue in cheek references to Heriot and Heartbeat. Also the detective‘s critique of detective novelists.

#Ten #NovemberByTheNumbers In a Dry Season by Peter Robinson is book 10 in the Inspector Banks series. This is the first book I read in the series, and still one of my favourites in the series.

This book felt too long, and the relationship between Banks and Cabbot seemed inappropriate (and some parts bordered on wish fulfillment 😕). Not sorry to let this one go.
