When the Music's Over

An Inspector Banks Novel

De: Peter Robinson

Narrado por: Simon Prebble

A baffling murder on a remote country lane puts Alan Banks and his team to the test in the detective’s most intense and gripping case yet – from an author hailed by Louise Penny as “a writer at the top of his game.”

With Detective Inspector Annie Cabbot investigating the young woman’s death, newly promoted Detective Superintendent Banks finds himself taking on the coldest of cases: a fifty-year-old assault allegedly perpetrated by beloved celebrity Danny Caxton. Now Caxton stands accused at the center of a media storm, and it’s Banks’ job to discover the shocking truth.

As more women step forward with accounts of Caxton’s manipulation, Banks must piece together decades-old evidence – as the investigation leads him down the darkest of paths…

Suspenseful, powerful, and surprising, When the Music’s Over is the finest novel to date from one of the foremost suspense writers at work today.

Intricate and well-written book.

Another enjoyable Banks novel from the superb Peter Robinson made even better by the talents of the narrator.

Still Banks, But Disappointing

Would you try another book from Peter Robinson and/or Simon Prebble?

I have read or listened to all of these books, and will keep doing so.

If you’ve listened to books by Peter Robinson before, how does this one compare?

This one misses the mark. No mention is made of his 2 children and next to nothing about his personal life. Those are things that make these stories especially interesting.

Which character – as performed by Simon Prebble – was your favorite?

Hard to say. Let's just note that Prebble is a master.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Probably not. The two crime threads aren't things I want to see. Listening to what those awful people did was enough.

Any additional comments?

I hope future books are more in line with the way earlier episodes of Banks and his famiily are depicted.

Another great Banks book

A troubling subject and a timely story, but well done. Peter Robinson handles the subjects with sensitivity and objectivity.

Excellent in every aspect

Storyline very timely, characters make you feel their pain and concern. Good to see Banks get a well deserved promotion. Can't wait for the nextBanks story, but will.

Riveting

Best one yet. I have been listening to the whole series.
I highly recommend it.
