Is the DCI Banks series by Peter Robinson best read in order, that is, going all the way back to the first book, Gallows View??? Your thoughts?

The only way
Yes. Good series but best read in order I think.
I think all these books with the same characters in are best read in order because you see how he and his team change throughout.
Definitely yes ?
OK, thank you. I typically prefer to read series in order. This one has quite a few. I said I wasn’t going to buy any more books for now; but, I went ahead and ordered Gallows View. Just can’t help myself!!! ?
i made the same pledge lol
Best read in order. I read the whole lot in a month – fabulous! Like one very long book. (Didn’t do anything else that month…)
Great series definitely best read in order. Lots more books than the TV series – a real treat!
@Lorraine much better than the TV series too.
Totally agree always prefer the book to any TV/film etc!
I’m hoping to do that, I just have 2 missing that I need to get hold of ?
Definitely yes, read them all, you’ll love them
I read them in any order
I read them with pleasure, but he does bog down in detail sometimes.
Good to know.
Best in order as his circumstances do change.
Definitely…I have read them all.
Absolutely.
Really good series. Best in order xx
Yes. Excellent series
Yes
Es definitly
Yes
My first crime thriller book was Peter Robinson I loved them so much I read a lot of them but now reading other authors I find them tame
That sounds promising!
Yes, read in order is best
Yes
Definitely tells his life.
I have read most of his books but not in order, unfortunately. They aren’t readily available here in Greece so have to order secondhand from a couple of sites in the UK.
I have all his books now but could not read them in order as like Valerie I live abroad and could not buy them here. I have to rely on what I can find in charity shops in when I am in UK. I still thoroughly enjoyed reading them.
@Maggie same here…
I have read them all but found it better reading them in order x
Always best in order as you see the characters grow and develop ❣️
Yes
My favourite one is In A Dry Season. It was the first one I read.
I read them in order, so I’d say yes, read in order, and I liked Gallows View
