Settling in with the latest in this series feels like catching up with old friends. I have grown very fond of all the characters over the years. Robinson has given them rich personal lives. I've especially enjoyed Banks' music choices, often chasing down a title he listens to.
In addition to wonderful characters Robinson always comes up with a plot that keeps the reader guessing until the last pages. This latest is no exception. The narrative from 1980 where Nick's ex girlfriend Alice has gone missing. Her body is not found until 2019. I always enjoy a then and now narrative. As readers, we are privy to what's gone before even as Banks and the team chase down any and every clue. Standing in the Shadows was as always, well plotted.
See for yourself - read an excerpt of Standing in the Shadows.
I very much enjoyed this latest - and sadly, this last book. Peter Robinson passed away in October of 2022. If you've never read Peter Robison's books, you've got a treat waiting. Start with the first and enjoy.
