The Hanging Valley (An Inspector Banks Mystery)
The Hanging Valley (An Inspector Banks Mystery) | Peter Robinson
4 posts | 5 read
When a faceless body is found in a tranquil valley just south of the village of Swainshead, Chief Inspector Alan Banks soon finds that no one in the village is willing to talk about it, except to say, “Not again.” An unsolved murder from five years before and the unsolved disappearance of a prominent local man’s girlfriend appear to be connected. As Banks delves deeper into the mystery, someone begins to intentionally slow down the investigation. When events take a turn, Inspector Banks must track his killer across the Atlantic and find a way to make a break in the case before time runs out. Fourth in the critically acclaimed Inspector Banks Mystery Series.

#4 in this series earns a So-So from me.Too much Pub crawling, & drinking. Despite this, a rather chilling plot.#serieslove2025
Maybe I need a break from this series!

Another terrific Inspector Banks tale. I was mesmerized by the stories of the secondary characters in this one. A subtext to all four books thus far is feminism, and it‘s interesting to see the view from 35 years on. It‘s a sympathetic view, but the language and perspective are very 80s. Love the series, and I have the next two books cued up!

My latest library haul and my week: the Scotties! My favorite sports event of the year. 🧡🥌!

Been waiting for this one! This is a new book, since the previous one disappeared from the library. Back on track again!

Andrew65 Seem to remember this being a good one. 6y
gradcat I love Inspector Banks, but I haven‘t read any in ages...I think I stopped reading after the 5th or 6th book, for no good reason. What number is this one? 6y

gradcat @Tove_Reads Oh! Well, in that case, I might have read this one...who knew? I don‘t remember the title, though. 6y
Andrew65 You‘re just about to get onto what I think are some of the better books in this series. @Tove_Reads @gradcat 6y
Tove_Reads @andrew65 Really enjoying this one! Didn‘t like the previous one that much. It was ok, but... 6y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads The first 3 or 4 weren‘t my favourites, I think they get better from this point. Still trying to get hold of the latest one. 6y
gradcat @Andrew65 Good to know—thanks for your post. That may be the reason I stopped reading them after the first few. Did you ever watch the TV series? If so, how do you think the books compare to it? Yo, lots of questions, right? 😂😂 6y
