Strange Affair

Written by Peter Robinson

Narrated by Simon Slater

Strange Affair is the fifteenth novel in Peter Robinson's Inspector Banks series, following on from Playing With Fire.

When Alan Banks receives a disturbing message from his brother, Roy, he abandons the peaceful Yorkshire Dales for the bright lights of London, to seek him out. But Roy seems to have vanished into thin air.

Meanwhile, DI Annie Cabbot is called to a quiet stretch of road just outside Eastvale, where a young woman has been found dead in her car. In the victim’s pocket, scribbled on a slip of paper, police discover Banks’ name and address.

Living in Roy's empty South Kensington house, Banks finds himself digging into the life of the brother he never really knew, nor even liked. And as he begins to uncover a few troubling surprises, the two cases become sinisterly entwined . . .

Reviews for Strange Affair

[Karin Kvist · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was absolutely one of the best ones I've read in the serie! Much closer to "home" for the liking of DCI Banks....
Family, love, crime, mindblowing horrors, sinister characters mixed with the favored music of Alan, beautifully describes sceneries!
And tea! :)
