"RATING: 4.25 PROTAGONIST: Alan Banks SETTING: UK SUMMARY: After the fire which destroyed his home (Playing with Fire), Alan Banks has sunk into a depression. When he receives a distraught message from his brother, Roy, he has to find out what is happening. When he arrives at Roy's home in London, he finds him missing. At the same time, a young woman has been murdered, execution style, on a remote Yorkshire road. She has Alan's name and address on a paper in her back pocket. The two events are not unconnected. It's prime time reading to see Alan start to come back to life, to work again with Annie Cabbot and sort through some of their baggage. This is an excellent series, and Strange Affair does not disappoint. I had a few issues with some of the secondary plot lines, but nothing that made the book anything less than enjoyable."
"Great suspense? Check. Believable characters? Check. Sitting on the edge of your seat? Check. Detective Inspector Banks has been going through the motions since a fire destroyed his home, his possessions and nearly his life. All that changes when he gets a call for help from his estranged brother Roy - who has vanished when Banks goes looking for him. While Banks tries to find his brother, Detective Annie Cabot investigates the murder of a woman who is found with Banks' address in her back pocket, and the two investigations merge in surprising ways."
