I recommend this novel to all who love a good mystery, accompanied by excellent characterzation and well described settings. Peter Robonson is always an excellent read.

4.0 out of 5 stars A sensitive policeperson. Aug 6 2002
Format:Paperback
This is the first Inspector Banks novel, or indeed the first Peter Robinson novel that I have read. I found the plot engrossing, the characters well drawn. Inspector Banks is almost too good to be true, his handling of suspects is sensitive and compassionate. His relationships with his co-workers and family are well portrayed. I loved the musical refferences, in fact I will be looking for several of the pieces mentioned, especially the Vivaldi, you will have to read the book to see what I mean by this. I had figured out "who dun it" before the climax of the book, but that did not detract from my enjoyment. I will be looking for more books by Peter Robinson.

3.0 out of 5 stars Plodding through the slush Nov 14 2001
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Chilling portrayal of Yorkshire winter weather. I shivered throughout, from the meteorological descriptions, not the plot. This is an OK British dullsville police procedural of the Greeneland lite school, with a who-cares plot and at least 100 pages of padding. The one who dun it stood out like a sore thumb at first introduction. I give it three instead of two stars because it is literate and the dialogue works. Some interesting asides on twentieth century classical music. I find it difficult to believe that British police can get away with so much drinking on the job. But maybe they can. Maybe that's why it takes them those extra 100 pages to see what's in front of their nose.
