A pity it is the last in the series. It was well acted and well-written. Banks and the team begin the painful job of finding out exactly who was responsible for Annie's death, an incident that has affected all their lives. A great story. Excellent as always.

Hopefully, Banks will act more like the DCI he's suppose to be and lead his team while solving these excellent challenging crimes. The first story was about the daughter of a crime boss who was found dead in the woods. This bit of news is even darker than the series which makes no attempt to sugarcoat the gritty work of homicide investigation. Well written and well acted.
The second story was about a man who goes missing.
