"Loved this Banks novel too so it looks as if I'm hooked! Only trouble is reading them out of sequence - this one mentions a previous investigation that links with it and so that means I know who did it of that previous book now. I'll need to get the first and start from there."
"Coming upon a new Peter Robinson book is like finding a fine piece of chocolate that you forgot you'd hidden away. Friend of the Devil is a fun read. Alan and Anne work together to solve two seemingly unrelated murders, with everything coming together in a satisfying manner."
"Peter Robinson's Banks and Cabbot mysteries are some of the best in the genre; he's one of a handful of top ranking writers of British mysteries, along with Ruth Rendell, Reginald Hill, Ian Rankin and Elizabeth George, where I must simply drop everything the moment I get my hands on their newest book. It's not just the suspense, either, although that would be enough; Robinson's finely drawn characters and excellent descriptive writing - in particular, his love for music - make his novels a feast for the senses as well. In Friend of the Devil, Alan Banks investigates the death of a young woman who has been raped and murdered in Eastvale, while a woman in a wheelchair is found slain at the edge of a cliff in the nearby district where Annie Cabbot is working. Her investigation of that death uncovers ties to an earlier case that has haunted them both."
"Wow - the book started off great and soon fizzled into a lot of stuff that really did not matter to the story. It felt like the author got bored with his own story and ended it. Thank goodness -- too many characters with no real connection. As a reader I was skimming the last 70 pages - -
As my friend says....life is too short to read bad books......but I had to know whodoneit......"
