I have read several books by the prolific writer, Peter Robinson – Playing With Fire, Friend of the Devil and All the Colors of Darkness – so I was very happy to have won Children of the Revolution. The cover led me down a path to murder and wicked political machinations. They do make, to me, not such strange bedfellows. If you want a detailed, step by step, approach to an investigation of a murder, this is the book for you. Children of the Revolution is a convoluted tale that drives Banks decades back into the past to find the answers. I do like knowing the process of an investigation, but I am an action junkie and needed more mayhem with my murder. I enjoyed the journey and I am sure I will travel through the pages of another Peter Robinson novel in the near future. I love this quote:
Hell is other people.
I won the ARC paperback on Goodreads First Reads.

I am an action junkie too so I am not sure about this one.
I was a bit disappointed, but I will grab any of his books and give them a shot. ^_^
Even though there wasn’t enough action, It still sounds like the writing was good and you’ve enjoyed other books by him so, while I might pass on this one, I’d try others.
Yeah, he is an author that I will always read. Yes, the writing was good and the mystery was there, just not enough action for me.
You sold me with this one line, “f you want a detailed, step by step, approach to an investigation of a murder, this is the book for you.” I love the deets in a crime thriller! Added to my list..woot!
I love the deets too, but I crave action. I enjoyed the book and think you will too. Let me know. ^_^ Happy reading.
