This series has constant allusions, mentioning of novels, poetry, eclectic music which has led me to new discoveries. It‘s an added bonus to the understanding/enjoyment of DCI Banks, his moods, his emotional/spiritual life, his connections to his sense of” home”. Helen Keller is an enduring gift to us all. Hoping to start this tonight.

I‘ve been mad about mysteries in recent months. This was the first series I started on, last Fall, and it‘s been tremendous. But this book is number 18, & while I love the series immensely, this book was pretty meh. The whole “secret service can do anything” vibe + the relationship with Sophie (all I‘ll say is come ON) left me a bit underwhelmed. I think my favorite of all the books, after the first, is “In a Dry Season” (number 10). So evocative.

MittenGirlPeach Despite this book not being on top of my list, If you start the journey, you won‘t be disappointed! 4y

MittenGirlPeach And lastly, I‘m in for #JoysofJune, @Andrew65 ! I‘m planning on five books. Number one is the tagged book. Finished! The others: The Vows of Silence, The shadows on the street, betrayal of trust, and the second Poppy Redfern. Here‘s to a terrific reading June for all of us! 4y

Andrew65 How strange, number 10 was my favourite too. 4y

so-so

I'm not sure what I think about this book. Peter Robinson's DCI Banks books are usually of a high standard. This one seemed to lose its way a little, paying too much attention to a sub plot that had little relevance to the final outcome. To put the main character through a terrorist attack seems a step too far too unless it will have further consequences in later books. I did enjoy the book but feel earlier books in the series were better.
