WATCHING THE DARK Inspector Banks, Book 20

Robinson's detective novel set in the UK and Estonia. The story follows the investigation of the murder of a fellow police officer, which looks to be related to an unsolved disappearance several years earlier. Simon Prebble's narration provides excellent character portrayals that add depth to the story. While some of the high drama common to the genre is absent and there are often long descriptive passages, which in less masterful hands could slow down the audio performance, Prebble never fails to keep the flow of the story moving. Eventually all the loose ends come together to shed light upon both crimes. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2013]
