About this listen

'Move over Ian Rankin - there's a new gunslinger in town looking to take over your role as top British police procedural author . . .' Independent on Sunday

Following on from Playing With Fire, Strange Affair is the fifteenth novel in Peter Robinson's Inspector Banks series, which inspired the major British ITV drama DCI Banks.

When Alan Banks receives a disturbing message from his brother, Roy, he abandons the peaceful Yorkshire Dales to seek him out amidst the bright lights of London. But Roy seems to have vanished into thin air.

Meanwhile, DI Annie Cabbot is called to a quiet stretch of road just outside Eastvale, where a young woman has been found dead in her car. In the victim’s pocket, scribbled on a slip of paper, police discover Banks’s name and address.

Living in Roy's empty South Kensington house, Banks finds himself digging into the life of the brother he never really knew, nor even liked. And as he begins to uncover a few troubling surprises, the two cases become sinisterly entwined . . .

The Banks novels are, simply put, the best series now on the market (Stephen King)
All stars

I’ve read a few of Peter Robinson’s books and watched the tv series, mostly I’ve enjoyed them. This one was ok. The narrator reasonable. The story was interesting and I liked it but towards the end it didn’t hold my attention. Out of 10 I’d give it a 6. Not great but not dreadful either.
