Book Review:
''Peter Robinson is, as the Independent on Sunday put it, 'a definite contender for fiction's new top cop,' and 'Aftermath' is a powerful example of his skill. This is not just a police procedural; it's a dark, psychological deep dive into the aftermath of violent crime.

The novel starts with a bang—a truly terrifying and brutal scene that immediately grabs you. The discovery of the Chameleon's identity is just the first twist. Robinson is more interested in the 'aftermath' of the title: the effect of the killer's actions on the victims, the police, and even the community. It's a complex and thought-provoking read that shows the true cost of evil.

The plotting is meticulous, and the character of Inspector Banks is as compelling as ever—a thoughtful, determined detective. The Guardian called it 'a considerable achievement,' and it's easy to see why. If you're a fan of intelligent, well-written crime fiction that stays with you long after you finish, 'Aftermath' is a must-read.''
