Peter Robinson Book Talk

Don't miss the opportunity to familiarize yourself with Mr. Peter Robinson's book and his writing style. Prior to meeting the award winning mystery writer Mr. Peter Robinson on June 4th, the Osterhout Free Library is holding a book talk on one of his books Close to Home on June 1st.

Close to Home is the thirteenth Inspector Banks mystery by Peter Robinson. It is the first to give the reader a glimpse of Alan Banks life prior to his undertaking a career as a law enforcement official. In previous appearances, he has alluded to the fact that his parents are unhappy with his career choice, but their reasons for opposition are rather nebulous. Finally, the reader is treated to Banks reminiscing about the year he was fourteen and thoughts of that horrible day when Graham Marshall went missing.....(themysteryreader.com)
