One of Peter Robinsons best-before he started getting So obsessed with Banks musical tastes-which become very wearing in the later books. This book has a cracking plot and, as usual, a good few twists and turns.
I much prefer Robinsons earlier books-I think before `playing with fire` they are brilliant, after that, not so hot!
As a Yorshire ex pat in Portugal, it`s great to read about the Dales, the descriptions are very evocative.
