About this ebook

‘The Alan Banks mystery-suspense novels are the best series on the market. Try one and tell me I’m wrong’ Stephen King

Gallows View is the first novel in Peter Robinson’s bestselling Inspector Banks series.

NEW TOWN. NEW CASES. NEW DANGER.

Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks has recently relocated with his family from stressful London to the Yorkshire Dales, but soon finds that life in the countryside is not quite as idyllic as he had imagined.

Three cases come to the fore: a voyeur is terrorizing the women of Eastvale; two thugs are breaking into homes; and an old woman is dead, possibly murdered. As the tension mounts, Banks must also deal with his attraction to a young psychologist, Jenny Fuller – and when both Jenny and Banks’s wife are drawn deeper into events, Banks realizes that his cases are weaving closer and closer together . . .

Gallows View is followed by A Dedicated Man in the Inspector Banks series.

Not sure I see Stephen Tompkinson as Banks after reading this first book but a good read all the same.

Although at times it appeared to get bogged down in explaining procedures, on the whole it moves at a quick enough pace to make it an engaging and enjoyable enough read

Good story starting with a slow melody but soon turning into a busy play finishing on a high crescendo.
