"I'd gotten interested in [Ruth] Rendell and those kind of writers, who were able to take a part of England and create a detective through whose eyes they could examine the area as much as investigate crimes. I think it may have been that I'd not been in Canada very long then, so I was a bit nostalgic -- I wanted to re-create England in my writing. So I invented a large market town in Yorkshire -- a town rather like [Yorkshire's] Richmond. And then came Banks. I wanted a protagonist who was trying to escape the big city, who'd seen it all and was close to burnout, and who thought that maybe a transfer would help him."

More About Peter Robinson

“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.”

Jane Austen, Pride and Predjudice

Jane Austen, Pride and Predjudice

“It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.”

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde

“Do not read, as children do, to amuse yourself, or like the ambitious, for the purpose of instruction. No, read in order to live.”

Gustave Flaubert

Gustave Flaubert

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.”
