Many Rivers to Cross: DCI Banks 26

Product Information

I am a big fan of the Banks series mostly due to witty dialogues, interesting cases and detailed descriptions of the police procedural. The writing in this one has shifted in a way that makes me uncomfortable and I really hope that Peter Robinson reads his readers’ comments and continues to deliver an intelligent and thought-provoking books instead of confusing them with sexist messages. If not, the 27th Inspector Banks book will definitely be my last. I was looking forward to this book. I usually really like Peter Robinson's Alan Banks series but this one was a disappointment. It was full of the politics of the remainer kind. The detectives were showing their politically correct colours with ongoing sneering at any character right of the centre. I have crossed off Louise Penny and Ann Cleeves from must read list. Is this the one to follow? Police inaction on minor crime was mentioned with reliance on citizens to do their own policing. The wholesale discounting of the grooming gangs in those Northern cities mentioned was disappointing. Unfortunately, I didn’t even get that. Simplistic writing, numerous sexist descriptions of female characters, unbelievable police procedure – I’m sure that the police do not divulge what they know or suspect to a potential perpetrator of the crimes they are investigating – and 1970’s style police behaviour e.g. drinking on duty at suspects houses! A well paced, and enjoyable read, I would of loved to have Zelda’s story go on longer, the ending was left open no doubt that will be in store for the next book that I’m now looking forward to!
