A review by ksparks
Blood at the Root by Peter Robinson

4.0

Another solid installment. I'm impressed that he was writing about racism so candidly in 1997-Robinson never shies away from difficult social problems: from police brutality to sexual harassment to racism. He is such an acute social observer. Banks is a brilliant character, always smooth as a cucumber. He is seemingly mild mannered and manages not to ruffle too many feathers, while relentlessly working his way to the truth of the case. This was a difficult installment for his personal life and left a lot to resolve for the next book. As always, I loved the audiobook version narrated by James Langton--such a wonderful voice.
