IN A DRY SEASON

Peter Robinson. IN A DRY SEASON. Penguin,1999. 

I so miss Inspector Banks. I wish the television programs would return. Sometimes I cannot remember if I have read a title before of if I just saw it on TV.

This story moves back and forth between the present, 1990s Yorkshire, and the past, WW II, when a Land Girl arrived to help out on a farm. The plot begins when, in a dry season, a reservoir or a man-made lake dries up and in the drowned village which emerges, a body is found.
