About this listen
The 22nd novel in number-one best-selling author Peter Robinson's critically acclaimed DCI Banks series. When two boys vanish under mysterious circumstances, the local community is filled with unease. And when a caravan belonging to one of the youths is burned to the ground, and a bloodstain is discovered in a disused World War Two hangar nearby, things quickly become much more sinister.
Assigned to the case, DCI Banks and his team are baffled by the mystery laid out before them. But when a motor accident throws up a gruesome discovery, the investigation spins into a higher gear - and in another direction. As Banks and his team struggle desperately to find the missing boy who holds the key to the puzzle, they find themselves in a race against time where it's their turn to become the prey.

The usual suspects all return to form in this novel, Banks, Annie, Dirty Dick and my favourite Winsome. I thought the last couple of outings for Bank were a bit tired but this one restored my faith.
The narrator was also very good, delivering a range of different voices with great skill.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
No. It's boring with a very thin plot and the narration was appallingWhat could Peter Robinson have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Very little; the plot, such as it is just not up to main stream crime novelsWhat did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
The narration was poor particularly the attempt at the many ascents required by the author.Did Abattoir Blues inspire you to do anything?
Yes, not to download this author againAny additional comments?
Boring, slow, thin plot - just not worth the effort - how this ends up with a 4.5 star rating in beyond me. Not worth more than 2/3 stars.Don't be fooled by the 4.5 star rating

I know I haven’t read this book in the right order, but it was accessible. I found it a little hard to keep up with who was who!
It was a really enjoyable listen and sometimes that is all that you want!
