Bad Boy: An Inspector Banks Novel Audiobook

" I've only read a few of Peter Robinson's previous books in this series so I was looking forward to this new one. Now that I finished, I am glad I read it but had my doubts about finishing until I got halfway through. I didn't much like characters that the main action centered around in the beginning. Everyone whined and was totally self-absorbed. And you knew it was going to end badly.[return][return]The second half of the book with more of Annie Cabot and Alan Banks was much better and kept me going, so I guess it was worth it in the long run, but I'm not sure I will continue with the next book in the series. "

" Bad Boy, the latest in the Inspector Banks series, was a bit of a letdown, but this series is overall very enjoyable and I highly recommend it. "

" An enjoyable read, good change up from what I have been reading. I liked it. "

" Good enough to finish. Very wordy. Not good enough that I will read more from this author. "

" Not one of his best. "

" Well, all i gotta say is i did not know that British citizens were not allowed to own guns (the basis for this story). Learn somethin new every day. "

" I am a Peter Robinson fan, but this book didn't grip me as much as most of his have done. "

" 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. "

" Likeable, realistically flawed characters in a believable narrative I enjoyed. "

" Quite a lot going on in Alan Banks' life in this one. It's an interesting series. "

" Read 120 odd pages and became totally bored. Shame, i used to like the Inspector Banks series but gone off him big time recently "

" Even though it wasn't much of a mystery, it was a good suspense novel, and I like seeing the relationships develop and Tracy Banks become an adult. "

" I like the Inspector Banks novels. They all take place in England; I like the way they use words. I also learned they have much stricter gun laws. This one involves his daughter Tracy in danger as the police force hunt down a murderous psychopath. "

" series is all Alan Banks, 50% personal life/50% professional (cop) life. this is the best of both. a reat blend. "

" This addition to the Alan Bates/Annie Cabot mystery series is more of a thrill er than previous books. Although far from Peter Robinson's best, its a good book and worth you time. Recommended! "

" i really want to know what happens next. "

" This installment in the Inspector Banks series took forever to get into and I almost gave up. At page 148 I finally wanted to finish the book in one sitting, which is how I think mysteries should be. "

" What can I say? Peter Robinson is consistently good with his Alan Banks novels. This one involves Alan's daughter which gives an emotional edge to it. "

" Language. This is a series that I enjoy Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks. This story shows how things can totally get out of hand and how rules and regulations are made to cover every situation and rarely fit any situation unless common sense is used. "

" Not as goo das his past books "

" horrible title, bad cover, good book. "

" The series is pretty tired but engaging enough that I keep reading them! "

" Even though it wasn't much of a mystery, it was a good suspense novel, and I like seeing the relationships develop and Tracy Banks become an adult. "

" This was a good one! Banks, the happier, just a little bit, DCI is back. "

" This book fulfils my criteria for British crime stories and I was enjoying it until, oh, the ending. I won't give you any spoilers, but I was just disappointed. "

" Didn't like the characters and did not really care whether they survived as were innately self centered and unattractive. This series has petered out and will probably not buy any more. (may still read at library) "

" This series never disappoints, and I always look forward to the latest one. This particular entry leaves some story lines hanging for the next time. "

" This is a good series. I have only read a few so will have to try some of the others. "

" One of the many things I like about Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks is his taste in music. "

" More thriller than mystery - readers know whodunnit from the start - even whydunnit - what remains is how Banks unravels and overcomes - good characterization - worth reading "

" Robinson keeps his Banks story fresh and his writing which has always been good just keeps getting better. However I don't think the plot in this book is as good as in Robinson's other books. "

" Another great Banks book! Couldn't put it down! "
