A close up of Poe.😀😸 He is snuggling me while dinner cooks. Enjoying my first Moscow Mule of the season-so cooling on this hot muggy day. Just started this book. #serieslove2025 #DCIBanksMystery
pickAnother creative,wildly imaginative,plot.What struck me with this # 14 in the series was the author‘s in-depth character development of a possible suspect,the deeply troubled Mark Siddons.The descriptions of his inner psyche,emotional,& social background present possible motivations for his behaviors & in effect,created my sympathy for him. Centered around suspicious fires that resulted in murders, & art forgery,making a compelling read.

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.

#10: a drought has caused the waters of a reservoir to recede. Yorkshire village from times past, is revealed. A female skeleton is uncovered.DCI Banks‘ challenge is to discover who viciously murdered this woman over half a century ago.Dead witnesses witnesses still alive, but hesitant to become involved make for a ⬇️
pickThis #8 in the DCI Banks series is a stunner.
A man is charged with the murder of a wealthy, prominent politician‘s daughter.Prior to his trial,the accused spends months in jail,which he narrates in minute detail.I don‘t want to give anything away, but suffice to say there is a clever multi layered plot,& an in-depth character study. The surprising ending left me cynically wondering if her murder will be avenged or court justice will prevail.
