Superb series. Definitely a good idea to read in order - there's a lot of on-going character development and storyline.

If you like Peter Robinson, you might also like Peter Lovesey, especially his Inspector Diamond series. Its a similar genre, although the characters and plots are quite differrent.
I see only four of his titles are avaiailable for the Kindle (in the UK). I don't know about other formats or other countries. Mike |

I started reading the series from In A Dry Season, and have read the series from there, except for the newest release. The backlist is on my wish list at the Calgary library, I'll get to them one day. So many books, so little time.

I love the Inspector Banks series. I read recently that the same company that made the Wallander series with Kenneth Branagh are going to make a an Inspector Banks series. Could be good if it comes off.
