THE HANGING VALLEY by Peter Robinson

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Visitors have been drawn to the beauty and serenity of the Yorkshire countryside. Some never leave — like the hiker whose decomposing corpse is discovered in a wooded valley outside the tiny village of Swainshead. It is the second such homicide to plague the region in recent years, and it is pulling investigating Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks into a dangerous mire of dark pasts, local power, and private shames. Because a shocking truth and a cold-blooded killer are waiting there ... and Banks is determined to walk into the valley of death to expose them both.

RATING:

Fourth in Robinson's Inspector Banks' series, a tightly written & thoroughly engrossing read with the last few pages chilling page turners. My only fault with the book was in fact the rather "abrupt" ending & felt an epilogue was needed. Robinson once again proves his mettle however as one of the best.
