All the Colors of Darkness

De: Peter Robinson

Narrado por: Simon Prebble

“The Alan Banks mystery-suspense novels are, simply put, the best series now on the market.”

—Stephen King

Peter Robinson is one of the very best in the crime fiction business—a teller of dark police tales who stands firmly in the bestseller ranks alongside Ian Rankin and Elizabeth George. In All the Colors of Darkness, the maestro whose masterworks Janet Maslin of the New York Times compares to “the masculine, brooding work of Dennis Lehane, Michael Connelly, Harlan Coben, George Pelecanos, and Jonathan Kellerman,” brings back his unforgettable series characters Yorkshire Chief Inspector Alan Banks and Detective Inspector Annie Cabbot. A gripping story with echoes of Shakespeare’s Othello set in our contemporary age of terrorist fears, All the Colors of Darkness supports the Miami Herald’s contention that “it’s a crime if you miss [this] author.”

Another enjoyable Inspector Banks story

I have listened to 5 or 6 of the Peter Robinson DCI Banks books now, and have enjoyed them all. This one was a bit different in subject matter, and I was a somewhat disappointed in the wind up, but I stayed interested and listened nearly non-stop to this one. Simon Prebble did a good job, but I still find it a bit difficult to dintinguish between characters when women are talking. His voice is very nice in tone though.

This wins my best read of 2017 award

This wins my best read of 2017 award.A fantastic read! Full of depth, full of texture.

Loved the story and narrator

This is another great Banks novel. Someone else mentioned the weird music. I agree - it's jarring and unnecessary. Doesn't belong at all. What were they thinking?

audio quality was difficult to hear, modulation wa

I did not finish this book. I found the audio impossible to listen to, the modulation of the words was poor. The narrator began the word strongly, but dropped his tone towards the end of the word. i know this sounds a little crazy, but i found myself turning the volume up, and up, and up... and still straining to hear the end of each word. Earbuds made a slight difference, but I listen to these on my commute, so earbuds are a potential ticket, so it is not an option available to me.

I have read all of the previous Banks novels, in fact own them, and love them. I was very excited to add this to my library. but alas, will be returning it, if they will let me.

interesting

Thank goodness for a competent narrator. now if you could find a producer that wasn't into singing greeting cards it would be great!
