My Review:
Peter Robinson is well noted for his Inspector Banks procedurals but this book is a standalone that is totally different and has a ghostly feeling to it. The book starts off slow but then takes off and becomes a real page-turner to the end. The flashbacks to the past and back to the present are handled masterfully. The plot is interesting and the characters are fascinating. I loved his descriptions of the atmospheric Yorkshire dales countryside. I would highly recommend this book to those who love World War II time period with a bit of mystery and great dialogue.
