Cold is the Grave |
This down-to-earth thriller is set in Yorkshire with a plot involving many twists and turns as well as quite a few corpses on the way. Police Inspector Banks, with the help of his engaging assistant, copes with extensive information technology-based criminality. It gripped me.

In a Dry Season |
An ingenious thriller. A hot summer dries out an artificial lake which swallowed up a Yorkshire village. The remains of a murdered woman are discovered under the ruins of an outhouse. The police are called in and the story is told by the inspector investigating and the sister of the victim, the latter with vivid descriptions of London after the Blitz and life in wartime England.

Watching the Dark |
This murder mystery was my first introduction to the book series featuring the character of DCI Banks. The first victim to fall is Detective Investigator Bill Quinn, killed with a crossbow. What follows is a well plotted story of good guys, bad guys, an old unsolved murder, more fresh murders, and international sleuthing. It was a good read that held my attention throughout.
