Before the Poison by Peter Robinson

4.0

I'd give this book 4 1/2 stars. I was intrigued until the end. This is a departure from Peter Robinson's Detective Banks series, but even better. The main character Chris Lowndes moves back to England from Hollywood where he has worked as a movie soundtrack composer. Like the Banks books, music is central to the story and Robinson is detailed about the music the main character listens to, and why. Lowndes becomes intrigued with the story of a murder that occurred in the house 60 years before and investigates. The ending is both satisfying and a surprise.
