About this listen
Past Reason Hated is the fifth novel in Peter Robinson's Inspector Banks series, following on from The Hanging Valley.
It should have been a cosy scene - log fire, sheepskin rug, Vivaldi on the stereo, Christmas lights and tree. But appearances can be deceptive. For Caroline Hartley, lying quietly on the couch, has been brutally murdered.
Inspector Alan Banks is called to the grim scene. And he soon has more suspects than he ever imagined. As he delves into her past, he realizes that for Caroline, secrecy was a way of life, and her death is no different. His ensuing investigation is full of hidden passions and desperate violence....

Awful narration
It is so disappointing when an author you love has such rotten luck to be lumbered with a narrator who just puts nothing into the characters, I am sorry but everything seems so boring. Reluctantly am giving up on the series

It’s a little outdated
I’m hanging in there with DCI Banks in the hope that the stories mature and female characters aren’t just sexy or harridans but humans .......here’s hoping.....

Past Reason Hated
The problem with this is the actors voice. when he is reading female dialogue all the characters sound the same. They sound like Les Dawson so it is hard to take it seriously. The story is bland and in the end one doesn't care who dunnit. unfortunately all the DSI Banks have the same narrator. The voice and intonation is so important.

Christmas in Eastvale
The fifth book in the Inspector Banks series sees Alan Banks investigating the death of an attractive young woman in her own home in the days before Christmas. The book does feel a little dated, having been first published in 1992. The plot is interesting with a whole bunch of suspects to sift through. The character of Banks continues to develop nicely, and it was nice to get to know new DC Susan Gay in this book.
I enjoyed the narration by Simon Slater.
