The second Inspector Banks novel I’ve was probably slightly better than the first and I rattled through it at a rate of knots.
I’m reasonably taken with this detective, although sometimes you do feel that there aren’t enough dead ends. Everything in this book lead in the same direction – but I suppose the same could be said of all crime fiction and TV series. There’s rarely a totally innocent character involved. I’ll be reading some more, once funds allow, and my “to read” list dwindles a little.
