Description

Inspector Alan Banks is investigating the murder of a freelance music journalist who was working on a feature about the Mad Hatters for MOJO magazine. Aging rock superstars, the Mad Hatters have once again been brushed by tragedy. At a huge outdoor rock festival in Yorkshire in 1969, a young woman was brutally murdered-and she seemed to have ties to the Mad Hatters. Banks finds he has to delve into the past to find out exactly what hornet's nest the journalist inadvertently stirred up.

      • content: In the sixteenth book about British Inspector Alan Banks, he investigates the murder of a journalist who was writing about a rock band of the 1960s named The Mad Hatters. Evidently, the journalist had learned something vital about a 1969 murder that involved the band. For a considerable portion of the book, Ron Keith must handle two narratives set 36 years apart, each involving one of the murders. The only warning listeners have of a change from 1969 to 2006 or vice versa is the announcement of a date. Keith handles these potentially confusing time shifts clearly. In addition, his interesting characterizations and well-paced reading make this an involving listen. R.E.K. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine

        April 24, 2006
        Det. Insp. Alan Banks investigates the apparently motiveless murder of Nicholas Barber, a rock journalist from London visiting a small town near Banks's Yorkshire police precinct, in Robinson's less-than-stellar 14th novel to feature the Yorkshire police detective. Meanwhile, another mystery unfolds in a parallel narrative, the fatal stabbing of a young woman at a local rock festival back in 1969. Needless to say, the cases are intertwined—as Banks puts it, "the past is never over"—and part of the pleasure is trying to piece together the links. Unfortunately, Robinson takes too long to connect the two stories, and the earlier thread suffers from the lack of Banks's engaging presence (though it does capture, with great fidelity, that odd mixture of self-absorption and idealism of the late 1960s and the whole hippie/rock music scene). As always, the author's prose is clear, observant and intelligent, but the story itself is not nearly as compelling as 2005's Strange Affair
        . 6-city author tour.
