A Dedicated Man by Peter Robinson
4.0

A Dedicated Man is the second in Peter Robinson’s Inspector Banks series. In this episode, Inspector Banks is investigating the murder of a man that everyone seems to say has no enemies, but the fact he ended up buried under a stone wall with his head bashed in seems to put paid to that notion. Inspector Banks is given a rather green constable to help him among others. A second missing person adds to the case and with a wealth of characters, many who had connections from long ago and some nasty rumors about others swirling around the village, he has his work cut out for him.

A strong sense of place, great characters, and plenty of red herrings make this a great mystery read along the lines of PD James and Ruth Rendell. I really enjoyed it and am happy to know that there are plenty more to read in the series.
