Just read "In a dry season" this was my first Peter Robinson which I borrowed off my business partner. I was gripped by the story and liked the parts where we returned to the war explaining how the body got there in the first place.

There are so many crime writers in the UK now and it was refreshung to find someone I knew nothing about. I will be looking out for more of his work but wondered if any one can recommend my next book from him. Unlike some other crime novels I dont thing they run in any order. But I would like to know why he has a problem with Jimmy Riddle.

I always read a series of books like the Banks books in order. Banks is one of my favourite fictional detectives; he's a lot more of a sympathetic character than say, Rebus. I thought Gallows View and A Dedicated Man were both brilliant.

Peter Robinson is one of the best UK Crime Authors around; it's real to the bone. If you haven't yet, read Wednesdays Child.
I went to a book signing on Monday, and got his new novel signed. :)
It's called All The Colours of Darkness.

I'm so glad I met him, he's a lovely man.
I really want to meet Ian Rankin as well.

So if they serialised his books on TV who would you like to play Banks.
Does it have to be a Yorkshire man? James bolam would be my choice
