In a Dry Season
by Peter Robinson
This was a wonderful book. Robinson is a master at creating characters. And the plot was very believable and interesting. This is the first book of his I have read and I am dying to read more.
When a reservoir dries up in Yorkshire, England, an old skeleton is found. It is determined early on that the it is a young woman who had been murdered. It is up to Inspector Banks, along with DC Annie Cabbot to figure out what happened 50 years ago. Robinson switches back and forth between present time and a first person account of what happened 50 years ago. As the past story unfolds, we see how Banks and Cabbot piece together what happened by their investigative skills. Banks is a very likable character who is flawed in very human ways. And Annie as his counterpart is perfect. In the past story, Gloria and Gwen are two girls who you can identify with even without understanding all they had to go through back then. This is a wonderful story and I recommend it to any mystery fan out there.
