I read this years ago and really enjoyed it, despite relatively low expectations as I remembered most of the plot. But what I had forgotten was it complexity and particularly the details of Linda and what she did, and also the time devoted to Banks' vey entangled love life – both Sandra, his ex wife, vicariously, Annie Cabbot and Jenny Fuller feature strongly in this book.
I think there are about 6 linked DI Banks books in the middle of Robinson’s career which are really strong, the more recent ones are a bit thematically repetitive, but this is one of the really good ones.
