The Beginning of Inspector Banks

I read the other books in Peter Robinson's Inspector Banks series and was glad to be able to read the first 3 books - Gallow's View, A Dedicated Man and A Necessary End. These books give the background of Inspector Banks' relationships with his wife Sandra and Sergeant Hatchley. Peter Robinson's writing is detailed without being boring and seamless going from one scene to the next. Inspector Banks solves his cases by looking at all the evidence, not just the convenient pieces of evidence. One inconsistency I did note was that Banks' father had to retire because of angina early in the series but later on in the series he was made redundant due to Thatcher policies. On the whole, this book was well worth reading.
