I have read listened to all of Peter Robinson’s Inspector Banks novels and would rate this one among the best. It is plot-driven without too much of the author’s weakness for filling the pages with stuff about music, drinking and smoking, though there’s a bit too much of the last for my tastes. The story takes Banks to Estonia and involves the topical issue of people-trafficking and Eastern European organized crime into which is woven the story of a Yorkshire girl who went missing when on a hen-night in Estonia. I thought that the narrator added greatly to my enjoyment of the book as he is able to switch his voice among many different accents, ages and between sexes.
