Gallows View by Peter Robinson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks has recently relocated with his family to the Yorkshire Dales from stressful London, but soon finds that life in the countryside is not quite as idyllic as he had imagined.
Three cases come to the fore: a voyeur is terrorising the women of Eastvale; two thugs are breaking into homes; and an old woman is dead, possibly murdered. As the tension mounts, Banks must also deal with his attraction to a young psychologist, Jenny Fuller. And when both Jenny and Banks's wife are drawn deeper into events, Banks realizes that his cases are weaving closer and closer together...
I’ve watched the TV series based on this and subsequent books and I think it spoilt me a bit. I found this book a bit underwhelming. It’s also quite dated. But it was an easy read and it ticked a prompt on the 52 book list challenge. No real surprises though and I won’t rush to continue the series – too many other books on my TBR pile.
