Getting more and more irate with the blandness of this writing. Theres one moment which creeped me out when Banks looks at the body of a young woman on the mortuary table and thinks how beautiful she was. There was something deeply voyeuristic about it and very wrong.

Bought in a charity shop - Hardback copy, looks like it hasn't been read. My first (I think) DCI Banks novel)
And I can see why it was discarded. Pages and pages of pointless waffle about clothes and art work and music - oh GOD the MUSIC!!
And then the author has to put his tuppence-worth in with the political comments! This is the 25th book in the series. Are they all so 'padded out'? (he hasn't started on food yet)
