In the Dark Places
In the Dark Places | Peter Robinson
7 posts | 9 read | 1 reading | 7 to read
Published in the United Kingdom and Canada as Abattoir BluesLouise Penny calls In the Dark Places "brilliant." Tess Gerritsen says it's "thrilling." And Michael Connelly describes Peter Robinson as "amazing." One of the world's greatest suspense writers returns with this sensational new novel featuring Inspector Alan Banks, hailed by Michael Connelly as "a man for all seasons."It's a double mystery: Two young men have vanished, and the investigation leads to two troubling clues in two different locations.As Banks and his team scramble for answers, the inquiry takes an even darker turn when a truck careens off an icy road in a freak hailstorm. In the wreckage, rescuers find the driver, who was killed on impact, as well as another body a body that was dead well before the crash.Snow falls. The body count rises. And Banks, perceptive and curious as ever, feels himself being drawn deeper into a web of crime, and at its center something or someone dark and dangerous lying in wait.Vibrating with tension, ingeniously plotted, and filled with soul and poignancy, In the Dark Places is a remarkable achievement from this masterful talent."

Today‘s Prompt: Dark

IN THE DARK PLACES kept me guessing until the end. Mr. Robinson knows how to create drama that takes the reader to a different level and then wraps it all up with an ah ha at the end.

I'm having one of those reading slumps where you can't stick at any one book, then I picked this up and flew through it in a couple of hours. Go figure. I love the Inspector Banks books, set in the Yorkshire Dales district, this is No22 in the series. It has a pretty gruesome murder that's associated with a rural theft ring. This is my R book in #LitsyAtoZ & in #BookRiot #ReadHarder #booksetmorethan5000milesaway

LauraBrook Same thing happened to me last night! I finally started (yet another) book and flew through it in a few hours. Woo! Hope both of us are over our slumps. 7y

Tonight's #booksandmidnightsnacks is Abattoir Blues by Peter Robinson, Chamomile Honey & Vanilla tea & a warmed Krispy Kreme donut topped with PeanutButterSweetCream&ChocPretzels Icecream. #betterthansex #litsyafterdark #icecreamislife

JulieAnn I got so confused when I saw this title because I read the US version In the Dark Places. I hate it when they do that because I thought awesome, another Alan Banks and then it turns out to be one I already read. Lol 8y

On this grey, wet & windy Wednesday, I've decided to hold off on A Court Of Mist & Fury to build up the suspense, and read the 22nd Inspector Banks novel instead. Cold grey Yorkshire weather is a perfect complement to ours. DCI Banks is called out for the theft of a tractor, but what seems a petty crime turns into something sinister when a bloodstain is found & 2 main suspects disappear.

[DELETED] 2232195534 I really like this series! Have not read this one yet. Enjoy! 8y
