One of the features that most interested me about this collection is how comfortable Robinson is in the different settings he selects. Whether it's the British Midlands or the condo coasts of Florida, Peter Robinson is such a keen observer of human nature that he keeps readers satisfied wherever he takes them. It is worth noting that in "Some Land in Florida," his private investigator, Jack Erwin, is given to sitting under the palm trees, smoking a cigar, nursing a whiskey and reading Robertson Davies!
The collection also includes a novella, featuring Robinson's celebrated sleuth Inspector Banks. Going Home is a chilling yet profoundly moving tale of just how hard it can be to visit one's elderly parents, even for only a few days.
Four of the stories have won awards: 'Innocence" won the Crime Writers of Canada Best Short Story Award in 1991, and "The Two Ladies of Rose Cottage" won the Mystery Readers International's Macavity Award in 1998 and wasnominated for both the Agatha and Arthur Ellis awards. "Murder in Utopia" won Robinson his fifth Arthur Ellis Award in 2001, the same year that "Missing in Action" won the Edgar Award.
