Cold is the Grave

By: Peter Robinson

Narrated by: Neil Pearson

Cold is the Grave is the eleventh novel in Peter Robinson's Inspector Banks series, following on from In A Dry Season.

Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks has reached a turning point. With his wife now living with another man in London and his career in the doldrums thanks to Chief Constable Riddle, it is time to ring the changes. Perhaps a move to the National Crime Squad? Perhaps a second chance with Sandra? But then late one night he is summoned to Riddle's house - and his plans take a surprising new turn. For the Chief Constable's sixteen-year-old daughter Emily has run away and for once Riddle wants Banks to use his unorthodox methods to find her without fuss.

Critic reviews

A writer at the very height of his powers (Ian Rankin)

Absorbing story, well narrated.

A very absorbing story, well written plot. The narrator is excellent and really brought all the characters, and the story, to life. A combination of well written dialogue and first class narration makes this one of those audio books that make you want to go to bed early so you can listen. A very good combination of writer's craftsmanship and narrator's skill. I will definitely be buying more in the series. Very good value for money.
