Description

English law demands that archeologists be given first crack at ground that is designated for commercial use. Peter grew up in Yorkshire, and divided his time between Richmond, UK, and Canada until his death in 2022. Since this is a Peter Robinson novel, readers should also be aware of the prerequisite plot twists that may veer this story into unpredictable directions.

As Peter Robinson's many fans know, he died recently after completing this, his final novel about the indefatigable Yorkshire police detective DCI Banks. In fact, many of my favored authors seem to be moving on to, well who knows, but they are leaving a hole in my heart and my future reading plans. However, the method of her death doesn’t match his other victims and her case is put on the back burner and is seemingly forgotten at least by everyone except her ex-boyfriend, Nick Hartley. Such is the precision of Robinson’s depiction that one could be forgiven for assuming he himself once walked a beat. Then the author decided to veer into international politics, (botched) undercover operations,war crimes,etc.Narrated by Andre Braugher, the film for the most part keeps him in the background and lets the musicians speak for themselves, and they do in a series of gentle stories and anecdotes. The 28th and the last in series, not because the series is getting stale, but because this amazing author has passed.

The book itself was a 4 Star but I give 5 stars for the whole series, now sadly ended as the author passed away last year. DC Gerry Masterson and DS Winsome Jackman interview Harold Gillespie, the farmer who “used to own Wilveston Farm, Eastvale,” (Eastvale is a fictional Yorkshire town) where the body was discovered. One thing I will most miss from these DCI Banks novels is his eclectic taste in music, which is once again on display in this novel.

Nestled within the temporal backdrop of the Yorkshire Ripper’s chilling presence in northern England, the tenants of the house tread cautiously through dimly lit streets, conscious of lurking danger. While neither of the stories was particularly exciting or unusual, the ending was where all was revealed, and was a nice surprise.
