5.0 out of 5 stars
British Procedural at Its Best,
By
This review is from: No Birds Sing (A Castlemere Mystery) (Mass Market Paperback)
Bannister has written a classic British police procedural. She has also addressed a very difficult subject - rape - with sensitivity and provided a viewpoint not often seen. Her characters are well-drawn and likable - even the minor ones. There's little mystery, but "watching" the two major characters in this outing solve the crime is fascinating.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Another winner from Jo Bannister,
By
This review is from: No Birds Sing (Paperback)
Bannister's three police officers work well together and complement each other's police work style. Frank Shapiro is a thirty year pro, Liz Graham is the first female detective on the force and Cal Donovan is a bit of a maverick, reckless and tenacious. In this case, a vicious gang of thieves have hit the city of Castlemere and Donovan infiltrates their organization. Added to this problem are a train robbery and a ring of dog fighters. Another story line addresses the search for a serial rapist and adds more suspense to the mix. The author handles the issue of rape with strength and intelligence.As always, Bannister delivers a taut story with believable characters. |
