If You Like DCI Banks Books, You’ll Love… 6 Responses to “Order of Inspector Banks Books” Over half way through the Peter Robinson’s DCI Banks series and I’m really enjoying the books. Some are better than others. I have also run into the name change on books which make it a little confusing. Not sure why they have to that. Hi Thanks for making the lists. I find so many book series here There’s one correction for this one. In Dark Places is the US name of the book Abattoir Blues according to Robinson’s website. http://www.inspectorbanks.com/books/ And there are two new books When the Music’s Over – 2016 No Cure for Love – 2015 Abattoir Blues – 2014 (US title, In the Dark Places) Ah, thank you for clarifying. I have just discovered the series and couldn’t understand why I kept finding different titles. Much appreciated! I apologize! I am in error (not for the first time). “Before the Poison” is a stand-alone novel by Peter Robinson. A novel in the DCI Alan Banks series has been omitted! The novel in the series following “Bad Boy” is “Before the Poison.” couple of errors here – Blood Right was not also published as Dead at the Root, it should be Dead Right was also published as Blood at the Root. Also Caedmon’s Song does not appear in the List though I suppose it is not strictly an Inspector Banks novel, though it is a precursor to Friend of the Devil. Leave a Reply.
