Stephen King
Robinson's gift for realistic characterisation is matched by an authentically realised sense of place; landscape is a crucial element in his work
Good Book Guide
A wonderful, well-written plot with a great twist and strong characters . . . a page-turning read
Woman's Way
A wonderful, well-written plot with a great twist and strong characters and there's even romance on the cards for Banks too. A page-turning read for both fans of Robinson and Banks and readers who really enjoy a good crime-thriller.
Woman's Way
Peter Robinson deserves a place near, perhaps even at the top of, the British crime writers' league
The Times
Classic Robinson: a labyrinthine plot merged with deft characterisation
Observer
Brilliant! . . . Gut-wrenching plotting, alongside heart-wrenching portraits of the characters who populate his world, not to mention the top-notch police procedure.
- Jeffery Deaver,
Detective Chief Inspector Banks, the artsy and melancholic Yorkshire detective, and his snarky sidekick, Detective Inspector Annie Cabbot, are consistently fun to watch . . . As usual with a Banks novel, the chief inspector's frictions with higher-ups are nearly as gripping as the unraveling of the case itself. First-rate procedural and character study . . . this is one of the series' highlights.
- Starred Review, Booklist
Robinson's gift for realistic characterisation is matched by an authentically realised sense of place; landscape is a crucial element in his work. The Alan Banks books have won many awards over the years including the Arthur Ellis award for best crime novel for <i>Past Reason Hated</i> and the Anthony Award for <i>In a Dry Season; Children of the Revolution </i>is a solid entry.
