Newly promoted Superintendent Alan Banks is forced to hit the ground running when he is handed a cold case from nearly 50 years ago. Former entertainment icon Danny Caxton has been accused of raping a 14 year old girl in his hotel room in 1967, something he adamantly denies. As if that isn't bad enough, a British female teenager is found brutally raped and murdered in the countryside and accusations are flying against British Pakistanis and their so-called "grooming gangs." As Banks and his team pursue both cases, it becomes clear that solving them will not be easy. With public pressure rising and his superiors demanding results, whether or not Banks and his team will find their answers remains to be seen.
When the Music's Over by Peter Robinson is an outstanding entry in the British mystery series featuring Alan Banks. Robinson is, without a doubt, one of the leading authors of British novels. His place in history is definitely secured with Arthur Ellis, Barry and Anthony awards to his credit. Robinson's ability to engage the reader with well-developed plots and characters the reader can actually relate to is a skill that few authors have. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and happily award it 5/5 stars.
**A copy of this book was the only consideration received in exchange for this review.**
