Tips and Resources From Your Peter Robinson Book Club Friends:

Peter Robinson’s novels all have brilliantly-crafted characters, well-conceived plots, and excellent pacing that keep readers on the edge of the seats! Robinson also brought a tremendous amount of humanity to his lead detective, Inspector Banks, who is a bit of a “Renaissance man” with a deep appreciation of music and culture and a lot of empathy for people. With intricate mysteries, the atmospheric Yorkshire setting, and compelling characters, there is a lot to enjoy when DCI Banks is on the case.

“Whatever the arthritis had done to the rest of her body, it hadn’t progressed as far as her tongue.”

Peter Robinson, In A Dry Season
Jo Ann W.
“There’s an added depth in Peter Robinson’s DCI Banks writing that distinguishes his books from other detective mysteries for me. There’s the well-written mysteries that keep me guessing until the very end and then there’s the author’s insights on societal issues which keep me thinking long after I’ve finished one of his books.”
