I got tired of the continual references to the music Banks was listening to - trivial, I know. I also lost interest when Banks & Annie broke up, she's such a great character. Obviously it was more about the characters than the crimes for me.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-61501289609258708362014-10-21T01:55:44.294+11:002014-10-21T01:55:44.294+11:00Funnily enough I found Douglas Henshall as Jimmy P...Funnily enough I found Douglas Henshall as Jimmy Perez perfectly satisfactory even though my own mental image from the books was more like TV historian Neil Oliver. No idea why because the casting of Stephen Tomlinson as Peter Robinson's Insp Banks irritated me so much that I have even stopped reading the subsequent books!LizFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-49201278947861004982014-10-20T07:49:28.532+11:002014-10-20T07:49:28.532+11:00I would love to visit Shetland one day.

This second quartet - Dead Water & Thin Air so far - are just as good as the earlier books.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-20414128906077901212014-10-16T08:45:20.073+11:002014-10-16T08:45:20.073+11:00Interesting, thanks Lyn.
