Watching the Dark

An Inspector Banks Novel

By: Peter Robinson

Narrated by: Simon Prebble

New York Times bestselling author Peter Robinson brings back Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks and his colleague DI Annie Cabbot in a case riddled with corruption.

A decorated policeman is murdered on the tranquil grounds of the St. Peter's Police Treatment Centre, shot through the heart with a crossbow arrow, and compromising photographs are discovered in his room.

Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks is well aware that he must handle the highly sensitive and dangerously explosive investigation with the utmost discretion. And as he digs deeper, he discovers that the murder may be linked to an unsolved missing persons case from six years earlier—and the current crime may involve some very bad, crooked cops.

A pulsating, electrifying novel of suspense Watching the Dark is one of Peter Robinson’s finest novels.

“Ambitious…Robinson shows a keen awareness of the global reach of crime.”—New York Times Book Review

Watchingin the dark

The narrator was excellent. He brings life to Inspector Banks stories. I have followed Peter Robinson the author through most of these stories they always deliver on subjects which are deep and interesting. If you like criminal investigation, this is the man for the job.

Excellent

One of the best in a reliably good series.
Very good atmosphere, especially in Estonia

Always glad to hear the next Inspector Banks story

This is one of my favorite series. Inspector Banks has mellowed in this one, not seeming so intense or angry as he can sometimes be in earlier books. This just continues to be one of those series that makes you feel comfortable but also holds your interest. And of course Simon Prebble makes the characters so alive.

A Solid Procedural

This is an engrossing, well written police procedural. Its much better than most procedurals. It has intriguing story elements and interesting characters, Even the secondary characters are interesting and drawn well. Part of the story takes places in Estonia and the author seems to know the country. The reason I do not give it 5 stars is that the ending was a little disappointing.

Terrific addition to the series!!

Simon Presley is as engaging as ever and brings the characters to life every time!
