3.0 out of 5 stars Duped!, 21 Aug 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Final Account (Mass Market Paperback)
Yes ,I too was duped into thinking that this was a Robinson that I hadn't read! It is a good book but feel cheated. I now have two copies of Dry bones/Final account! Naughty!

3.0 out of 5 stars Con Trick, 14 Dec 2004
By Ann Turner "superann" (Deeside, Flintshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Final Account (Mass Market Paperback)
I bought this book in good faith thinking it was one I hadn't read, but found it is Dry Bones That Dream under a different title. So don't be fooled! It is a good read, but I am angry at being duped into thinking I hadn't read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nearly conned too!, 18 Jan 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Final Account (Mass Market Paperback)
Excellent book, but as previous reviewer pointed out this is an old book re-titled. Don't think much of that. Peter Robinson's books are good enough as they are - they do not need to be sold under the guise of a new title!

1.0 out of 5 stars I had to wake up to write this review!
The plot in Final Analysis is trite and overused and the characters are flat and stock. Tedious and painful to read.

This book and its main character, Inspector Banks, are the most boring, predictable book and character I have read in a long time. Read more
