It's Inspector Banks second big case after arriving in the north from London; could it be any more difficult than 'Gallows View?' The body of a well-liked local historian is found half-buried under a drystone wall near the village of Helmthorpe, Swainsdale. Who on earth would want to kill such a thoughtful, dedicated man? Penny Cartwright, she's the beautiful folk singer with a mysterious past, a shady land-developer, Harry Steadman's editor, and a local thriller writer are all suspects - each is a figure from Harry's previous, idyllic summers in and around Helmthorpe. There's also a young girl, Sally Lumb, who seems to know more than she lets on. Her knowledge could lead her into danger.Watch as this second Banks case unearths disturbing secrets behind a bucolic façade."The novels of Peter Robinson are chilling, evocative, deeply nuanced works of art." - Dennis Lehane. "If you haven't encountered Chief Inspector Alan Banks before, prepare for a crash course in taut, clean writing and subtle psychology. And watch for those twists - they'll get you every time." - Ian Rankin.

A decent, if standard, experience. It possessed moments of brilliance, but the narrative felt slightly disjointed ultimately. Perhaps more aligned with a different audience's tastes.
