Publisher Description

There's more than blood and bone beneath the skin...

The victim, a nondescript "numbers cruncher," died horribly just yards away from his terrified wife and daughter, murdered by men who clearly enjoyed their work. The crime scene is one that could chill the blood of even the most seasoned police officer. But the strange revelations about an ordinary accountant's extraordinary secret life are what truly set Chief Inspector Alan Banks off—as lies breed further deceptions and blood begets blood, unleashing a policeman's dark passions...and a violent rage that, when freed, might be impossible to control.

    " While Robinson hinted at the ending ahead of time, it was a really good read -- strong plot, great description of people and places, a solid diversion. "

    " This Alan Banks mystery lacks the intensity of some of the other books, especially the later ones. Banks is still with his wife, which may account for his laid-back attitude. The ending is a little pat and probably wouldn't be much of a surprise for most readers who were paying attention. However, the Yorkshire countryside and the characters who inhabit it still make for a good read. "

    " This one was a bit boring even with all the murders going on. Financial stories usually don't tickle my fancy. And the mentioning briefly of Churchill from the Caribbean didn't really delve into his situation enough. I had also guessed the ending midway through. "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " I like this series very much. While there is a bit of personal stuff about DCI Banks and his co-workers, the story is really about solving the crime. And the way the crime is solved seems very realistic to me, complete with false leads, wrong assumptions and even some stupid mistakes. In this particular story, even though I guessed the ending, it was still interesting to see how Banks and his fellow detectives would get their man. "

    " This isn't my favourite of the Inspector Banks novels, but it was enjoyable to read about him early on his career. I recommend it to fans of the series. "

    " De boeken van Robinson zijn zowiezo goed. Herkenbaar, alleen jammer dat ze niet in logische volgorde uitgegeven worden. "

    " Up to the Banks standard. Banks is an enjoyable guy to read about. Left of Centre but works with 'Dirty' Dick Burgess for example. "

    " Not as good as previous books in the series, but love reading Peter Robinson nonetheless. Even a so-so British mystery is better than the american crap out there. "

    " As always, I enjoyed this Inspector Banks mystery. Not the best one I've read, but still very good. Nice balance of personal and police life for the hardworking detective. The last chapter was a bit of a surprise but tied up the loose ends. On to the next one! "
