Aftermath by Peter Robinson
2.0
Writing was good, that’s about all I liked (almost) consistently. It did get rushed and disjointed at the end. The story was pretty interesting but also fairly predictable.
The main character is sexist and objectifies women at every turn, co-worker, victims, you name it. And he’s the hero of the story? At the end he basically says “I told you so” to a victim. I will not be reading another “Inspector Banks” novel. Stephen King’s review is on the front cover and let’s be real, if we all had a dollar for every time Stephen King mentions a woman’s body in a completely unnecessary way, we’d all be nearly as rich as him. This book definitely had a lot of that and I hated every second of it.
