Inspector Banks novels

Posted by: graham55 on 10 July 2005

Can anyone give me a view on these books, written by Peter Robinson?

I was intrigued by reading an extract a few days ago, in which Banks had received his monthly subscritions to Gramophone and Mojo. I have every issue of Gramophone since Dec 1975 and every issue of Mojo since it was first published in Nov 1993. I thought that I was the only person in the country to get those two publications monthly.

Graham,
Most of these British Inspectors seem to have troubled home lives and sit drinking into the night as the hifi plays in the background.
As to views of the books; I read a couple and found them to be fairly readable but nothing to write home about.
I have been a Rebus fan, another troubled inspector, but gather he is not a Gramophone reader though I daresay he would leaf through a Mojo.

I think that it started with Colin Dexter's Morse (which are superb books, if you haven't read them and only seen the TV series). Now Morse was a Gramophone man and wouldn't have known what Mojo was all about.

Regards.
