This is as good as it gets. Robinson ia a superior crime novelist. "Aftermath" seems more non-fiction crime than fiction. And I like that.

I well-written mystery, police novel. Fascinating and quite involved and dragged me along with it. I finished it in two days.

Robinson is always excellent
This was a great book!
A GREAT read!
Great book- I highly recommend this author.
Enjoyed this book!
Aftermath was a stunner of a book. It's probably the goriest of the Peter Robinson books I've read to date. The ancillary police characters played a larger part in the story than in previous Inspector Banks books I've read..and that was a good change-up in my opinion. Although the reader will recognize the primary villain before the police do...it doesn't detract from the suspense. There's a pile of Robinson books that I've put off reading for a while but they're stacked up to read next!
Thrilling and suspenseful until the end.
A series of young girls appears to have been brutally murdered by one of their teachers.
Peter Robinson, in my opinion, is one of the best writers of police procedurals. His characters are fascinating and believable. The stories get deeper and more meaningful and the characters richer and more complex with each new book. Alan Banks has grown to become a complicated man who is in conflict about his broken marriage and the demands of his job. I look forward to reading the next installment in the popular series.

Now the fiend is in custody, perhaps dying, and a long nightmare appears to be over at last. But is it? In Acting Detective Superintnedent Alan Banks's mind too many questions remain unanswered at the chamber or horrors the press will dub the "House of Payne." Because the darkness has not yet lifted, the casualties are still mounting...and there are still monsters loose in the world.
