New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award–winning author Peter Robinson delivers an unforgettable, compelling thriller of a lost village and the deadly secrets that are unearthed upon its discovery—secrets that include murder.

In the blistering, dry summer, the waters of Thornfield Reservoir have been depleted, revealing the ruins of the small Yorkshire village that lay at its bottom—ruins that house the unidentified bones of a murdered young woman. Detective Chief Inspector Banks faces a daunting challenge: he must unmask a sadistic killer who has escaped detection for half a century. For the dark secrets of Hobb's End continue to haunt the dedicated policeman, even though the town that bred them has died and its former residents have been scattered to far places—or even to their graves.

Demonstrating once again why Peter Robinson is a master of suspense, In a Dry Season is a powerful, insightful, and searing novel of past crimes and present evil.

This is the first book in the series where I felt let down by the characters and an overly long, unnecessary epilogue. Banks is drowning in problems related to his personal life and career to the detriment of the plot.

This was exacerbated by the loss of the fabulous narrator, James Langton, who brought Banks to life in previous audiobooks. This incarnation of Banks sounds like a yob, and it was hard to tell some of the male and female characters apart. Too much overacting with plummy sounds and slurpy sibilants impeded listening pleasure.

Disappointing Narration

The loss of James Langton as narrator really kills the story unfortunately and makes it semi unbearable to listen too

Terrible narrator
