When the Music's Over: The 23rd DCI Banks Mystery | 
pickA great procedural featuring Inspector Alan Banks. Newly promoted, he is investigating #MeToo cold case charges involving years of sexual abuse by Danny Caxton. Caxton was a star in the ‘60s and 70s and held on to fame into his old age years; a truly evil man. At the same time, Inspector Annie Cabbot is investigating the gang rape and subsequent murder of a young girl. Good plot, great suspense. I love Peter Robinson!

Peter Robinson‘s books always mentions a lot of music that DCI Banks listens to as he is a music buff!
pickThis is an excellent crime thriller. I love Peter Robinson's books and this is a particularly well crafted novel. Highly recommended!
pickJust the thing for a break and satisfying fast read. Police procedural with DCI Banks. Must confess I saw the TV series first. The book connects past and current sexual abuse cases; very much en courant with headline news of the moment. Banks very much a slow burner for justice and there is a closure of sorts.
pickThis is my favorite Inspector Banks book. I loved the music and poetry references. Brighton Beach and concerts from the late 60's. Focused mainly on two cases involving young women who were raped. One from the past (1967) and one from the present. I found the book well-written. The characters well-developed. One thing I like about Peter Robinson's books is that he does not disappoint. His books are always very interesting and intriguing.
Today I got to hang with Peter Robinson for awhile and he was truly lovely.
Guys, I am so late to the #Readathon, but I'm starting now. I still have a goal of 8 hours, but adulting really set me back this morning. Book 1 and I feel like a mystery so I'm going off script already. Peter Robinson is great, so I'm beginning his latest in the Inspector Banks series.
pickI have read ALL of Peter Robinson's books and he just keeps getting better! It's so enjoyable to pick up a book and be immediately involved because you know the characters already. In Music you alternate between the two cases they are trying to solve. Peter weaves an intriguing story leaving you wondering how the pieces will all connect, and who really did it! Love all of his books!
Saturday afternoon, housework done. Time for lunch, a glass of wine and some reading.
Sick days involve a good book and some not-so-healthy food
pickFinally finished! I had a hard time concentrating because I've been preoccupied watching the all the storms out in the Atlantic and hoping they don't head this way! It was pretty good. I have to admit though that even though I've read the entire series, I have trouble remembering details from the earlier books because there are so many. This one really didn't stand out too much but I did like it so 👍
pick#bookisholympics #bookeight I know it's only seven books, but I thought I'd see how many I can read in the week allotted. Plus, coffecup bin! The book was the 23rd Inspector Banks novel & was 480pges. I love this series, but it's starting to show "old characters syndrome" starting to get a bit tired. That said, it was an enjoyable crime novel about a jimmy saville type entertainer & the murder of a young girl. 4?#goingforplatinum?
#augustofpages #augustphotochallenge #day17 #faveplacetorelax This is my most favourite place in the world, my sanctuary, my peace. My old lazyboy recliner in my library. Picked it up on eBay for $40, had to drive for 1.5hrs to pick it up, worth every penny. It swivels as well as reclines & is the most comfy chair I've ever owned. Lost count of how many times I've dropped off to sleep in this chair, woken up to dawn through the window. This is me.
