However, I was to be disappointed. I'm not sure if this is because it's the 26th novel in a series I have never read before, or whether the quality of his earlier books has declined as the number of 'Banks' novels has grown, but it was not what I was expecting from such a lauded series.Poème de l’amour and de la mer” from Chausson: Poème de l’amour et de la mer and Symphonie Op. 20 by Véronique Gens & Orchestre National de Lille

Reliable procedural entertainment from a pro’s pro, with an ending that guarantees more drama ahead. We still have our regular characters, but neither of the plotlines in this novel kept my attention. I found the search for an old adversary of Banks by his friend Zelda to be especially slow & dull. Perhaps having this storyline spread over this novel, the previous one & possibly the next one as well (!) far too long & drawn out.

Oh dear. I guess I didn't much enjoy this for a number of reasons. The series appears to be running out of ideas, with the consequence that this latest installment had a fairly weak and unengaging plot in terms of the crime at the centre of the novel, and I felt that the story was padded with a side plot that featured an unconvincingly written Moldovan woman exacting revenge on people from her past. The typical discussions of fine music, fine wine/spirits and fine food have become more like indulgences by the author than attempts at verisimilitude, and a lot of the rest was either slightly pedestrian police procedural (people walking in to rooms, a bit of dialogue attempting to be witty/revealing, people walking out of rooms) or irrelevant soap opera.Banks thought of Zelda. ‘I know someone who might be able to help you with any pictures you haven’t identified yet. She knows the sex traffic world inside out, and she’s a super-recognizer.’
