Banks and Co. are up against a cunning conman and his penchant for setting fires to lose ends. This story moves pretty quickly once it gets going, with a lot of leads, dead ends, and angst for a number of the characters both old and new. Well worth the time listening to it. ( ) DCI Banks is recovering from his breakup with DI Cabbot and getting to terms with her new boyfriend when an art fraud case may be connected with a fire on two houseboats. Another solid installment in a solid series. I do like to follow along in Banks' personal life and those side stories never take over the mystery part, but in this book they do get to mix a little in an unexpected way. I already have the rest of the series waiting in the (virtual) bookcase, so I will definitely continue. another Inspector Banks story. Usually by this time in a series, I begin to tire of characters and tend to put the series aside for awhile. This series has not suffered from that fate however. In this episode, a series of mysterious and apparently unrelated arsons have Banks convinced that the coincidences matter. Although I figured out who the culprit was fairly early, I couldn't figure out how it was pulled off and certainly didn't anticipate the wonderfully dramatic ending. A solid 4 stars for me. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
