Bad Boy

An Inspector Banks Novel

By: Peter Robinson

Narrated by: Simon Prebble

“Brilliant! With Bad Boy, author Robinson once again achieves the high bar he’s set in all his previous Inspector Banks books…This one will stay with you for a long time.”
—Jeffery Deaver, New York Times bestselling author of Roadside Crosses

Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks faces his most challenging, personal, and terrifying case yet when his own daughter crosses paths with a psychopath, in Peter Robinson’s superb Bad Boy. Dennis Lehane, author of Mystic River and Shutter Island, calls the novels of Peter Robinson, “chilling, evocative, deeply nuanced works of art.” Stephen King calls them, “the best series now on the market.” If you have not yet discovered this New York Times bestselling crime fiction master and his exceptional detective, now is definitely the time.

Another good one

Enjoyable, good characters, understandable three-dimensional criminals, maybe too two-dimensional internal affairs cops with some over-the-top misogyny, Simon Prebble great as usual...

Very Enjoyable

This isn't one of those few "must reads" but it certainly is a good book that holds the interest. Love the English accent of the reader, not too overbearing. The story line is exciting though because American gun laws are not the same, at the beginning American readers might wonder what the fuss is all about and avid gun owners might even be a little taken back. Simply accepting that this is/was the law in Great Britain will get you past that part.

The first half of the book is interesting but not particularly thrilling to the point you can't put the book down. The excitement happens further into the book with the ending sort of petering out. I think most people who enjoy a good book will still enjoy this one.

Detective and Father Helps His Daughter

Alan Banks is off to America while his daughter Tracy gets involved with a really "bad boy" and Annie gets shot. As always, a good mystery, and I like the characters. Simon Prebble's reading is top notch.

Who can beat a Peter Robinson-Simon Prebble combo?

Any additional comments?

As always, this was a great listen.Sure wish Simon Prebble had recorded ALL of the Inspector Banks series.

A good story well presented

A bit of Banks on holiday, meditating on his life, while all hell is breaking loose back home.
