Rather than reading the book I treated myself to an audio download read by Simon Slater. He has a good range of voices - I was particularly impressed by some of the female voices which are very well done and I was never in any doubt as to which character - male or female - was speaking. At one point I had to increase the volume because of ambient noise and the voice was rather more 'breathy' than I liked, but it was not as noticeable at a more normal volume. The download was good - I was sorry when it ended and immediately went and bought another of the Robinson books which I'd missed.
The books all read reasonably well as stand alonealones, but if you'd prefer to read them in order (I must admit that it is better) than you'll find a complete list [[Peter Robinson's Chief Inspector Alan Banks Novels in Chronological Order|here]].
