About this listen

The thrilling 24th instalment in Peter Robinson's number one best-selling Banks Series.

A shocking mass murder occurs at a wedding in a small Dales church, and a huge manhunt follows. Eventually the shooter is run to ground, and things take their inevitable course. But Banks is plagued with doubts as to exactly what happened outside the church that day and why.

Struggling with the death of his first serious girlfriend and the return of profiler Jenny Fuller into his life, Banks feels the need to dig deeper into the murders, and as he does so, he uncovers forensic and psychological puzzles that lead him to the past secrets that might just provide the answers he is looking for. When the surprising truth becomes clear, it is almost too late.

The story was most enjoyable but the reader's breathing between lines was disturbing. He sounded like he had asthma which was a shame as his voice was most pleasant. Sandra. New Zealand

loved the book, characters etc but I felt the killer was all to easy to figure out. maybe Peter Robinson's style is starting to repeat a bit? I still look forward to the next chapter in Bank's life story.

brilliant story but predictable ending

Don't bother unless you're 80 years old and listen to classical music. All characters are old with too references to poetry, radio 3, old music and story not particularly exciting. Banks novels definitely past it and out of date now.
