| NZ Review |
Top-notch police procedure * Jeffery Deaver * Robinson also has a way of undercutting the genre's familiarity. With a deceptively unspectacular language, he sets about the process of unsettling the reader * Independent * His novels track the changing nature of crime, taking on difficult subjects such as gangs of men who groom underage girls, and the new book tackles the contentious subject of widening inequality * Sunday Times * Robinson has a unique knack of revealing to the layman the painstaking and ingenious ways in which the numerous experts who work for the police can wheedle out the most infinitesimal clues surrounding a suspicious death * On Yorkshire Magazine * Banks' slow but dogged pursuit of murderers and his meditations on the past make him a figure readers feel they know intimately and trust implicitly and, despite moments of darkness, the series' warmth makes you feel all's right with the world * S Magazine * Robinson is prolific, but with each book he manages to ring the changes * Guardian * Robinson remains the master of the police procedural * Mail on Sunday * This is vintage Banks - a dogged search for truth which never once loses its grip on its hero's intuition and charm * Daily Mail * The Alan Banks mystery-suspense novels are the best series on the market. Try one and tell me I'm wrong * Stephen King * Peter Robinson has for too long, and unfairly, been in the shadow of Ian Rankin; perhaps PIECE OF MY HEART, the latest in the Chief Inspector Banks series, will give him the status he deserves, near, perhaps even at the top of the British crime writers' league * The Times * Praise for the DCI Banks series * - * |
