In a Dry Season by Peter Robinson
1.0

This is the first Inspector Banks book I've read and maybe it's not representative, but I didn't even feel like finishing it. Banks didn't seem very engaging to me but there wasn't much time to get acquainted with him because we kept getting sent back to WWII era to get to know the victim. I'd rather stay with the detectives as they try to make sense of the mystery, rather than get to know the victim so I feel extra crummy that she dies. But what made me stop reading was when it turned out that Banks can't keep it in his pants. Why be a moron and cause unnecessary complications? It just seemed gratuitous on Robinson's part.
