Summary: Trusting evidence, not intuition, is tragic for Banks.
Review: Trusting the evidence and not his own instinct has tragic repercussions in the latest Inspector Banks mystery from Peter Robinson. When a schoolgirl, the daughter of a well-connected, recently titled gentleman, is killed, the evidence points to a loner with no apparent alibi. Though he questions the findings intuitively, Banks does not go with his gut. The repercussions of this decision are felt as far away as London. Robinson insight on the media feeding frenzy surrounding crimes such as this are right on target. His view of the police, while sympathetic, is often acerbic as well. Another wonderful read
