No Cure for Love Audiobook Summary

Featuring a foreword by Michael Connelly, this relentlessly suspenseful thriller from the New York Times bestselling and Edgar award-winning author of the Inspector Banks novels marks the first time that Peter Robinson has set a novel in America.

Sarah Broughton has come a long way. She’s the star of a hit cop show on TV. She lives in a beautiful California beach house. And–most importantly–she’s put her dark past behind her… as well as her old name, Sally Bolton. No need for anyone to know about that.

When Sarah begins receiving letters mysteriously signed with the letter “M,” she thinks they’re from a harmless admirer… until her real name appears in the third letter. And then she finds that name inscribed in the sand near her home – next to a body.

The message is clear: Someone is watching Sarah’s every move. Someone so obsessed with her that he won’t stop at just one murder in order to prove his love.

Panicked, Sarah turns to Detective Arvo Hughes of the LAPD, a man who specializes in hunting down the most dangerous stalkers. But nothing in Hughes’ experience has prepared him for the mastermind he’s up against. For the killer, there’s no cure for love. And for Sarah and Hughes, there’s no way out.

Carol - Reading Writing and Riesling

August 17, 2015

My View:I must confess I have never come across the author Peter Robinson or the DCI Banks mysteries, so for me this was my first experience of reading this author; I had no expectations. Now I have had taste of his writing I have nothing but praise for Robinson’s writing and a desire for the author to continue to write about the protagonists in this novel in a new series and to read the DCI Banks novels. My Wish List has just jumped an enormous twenty odd books! What have you done Peter Robinson? (But let me share a secret with you – nothing gives me greater reading pleasure than discovering a new author who is already successful and highly regarded and who has already written many many books (and Police Procedurals are one of my favourite genres). I love to collect an entire series and then read one after the other – what a gift I am sometimes lucky enough to indulge in. This book – well written, great characters, twists and turns you won’t see coming and locations that are written like an image on a 3D map – real and visual. The narrative talks to a time that most have some awareness of the 1990’s – a heady time of excesses, fame, drugs and wealth… and the words of the master, Leonard Cohen, echo in my mind, “There aint no cure for love…”

This was a standalone by the author of the Inspector Banks series that is set in California rather than in England and concerns an English actress in a popular TV Cop show who is being stalked an threatened by an unknown person. Detectives Arvo Hughes and Maria Hernandez of the LAPD Threat Management squad set out to find the stalker, who is slowly escalating his threats. The actress has a history with a drugged out Rocker and his band before cleaning up and new life with the show and the stalker seems to come from that time period in her life, but she remembers so little that she is of little help to the Detectives. Good Peter Robinson story telling with twist at the end and he handles the total change of scene from England to California quite well.

Cartea a fost plina de suspans si intorsaturi de situatie. Mi-a captat atentia de la inceput pana la sfarsit. Mai multe curand pe blog.

It's always a delight to find a new novel by Peter Robinson, even if it's one that was first published 20 years ago. There's no Alan Banks in this one, and it's not quite as polished as those excellent books, but I did enjoy it. It's set mostly in Los Angeles. The story involves a British actress co-starring in an American TV series called Good Cop, Bad Cop, who is being threatened by a stalker who also may be a serial killer.I knew there had to be a final twist at the end, but it took me totally by surprise (though, looking back, I can see that there were clues).Though Mr. Robinson, a native Englishman who lives in Canada, has only visited Southern California, he gets just about everything right in his portrayal of the Los Angeles area. Even though the music aficionado Banks isn't in the story, there are still plenty of music references, ranging from Kiri Te Kanawa to Led Zeppelin and other rock groups.I'm eagerly awaiting the next Alan Banks mystery, but I'm happy to have found this stand-alone at the library to tide me over until it arrives.

This was a super mystery. Is written by a British author living in Canada And writing a novel taking place in California. Is centered in L.A. with an actress from England who has a horrific past in L.A. with a rock band and escaping said band to rehab is now being stalked by an unknown man in love with her. The characters are interesting due to the paths they have walked and are now intertwined in murder and Psychosis. Love my British authors and their writing but not so much taking place in our country. Was a good read and am interested in exploring more of Mr. Robinson's books. Thanx to Goodreads.

Originally published in 1995 and now published for first time in UK. A standalone book. Good story and not dated by the twenty years since it was written.

I know this a stand alone novel. but it does show the incredible gift of PETER ROBINSON

Absolutely superb. I'm an avid Robinson fan and have read all of the Banks series. For a stand alone story (first written 20 years ago), I thought this was a cracking read. The basic narrative was interesting, albeit not as broad and wide ranging with fewer subplots as some of the later Banks novels. The main thing that got me, was the use of language. For an early novel, his descriptive writing was excellent. As Michael Connelly says in his foreword, to write a novel completely out of your native comfort zone, and be convincing in a different location with use of language, dialect and idiom, takes real courage. I'm no LA expert by any means, but it just felt 'right'. If I was recommending Robinson to people, obviously Banks is the place to start (I guess from the start, although they really started to get going after the first half-dozen books) but definitely read this ahead of the other stand-alones, Caedmon's song and Beyond the Poison.

For the 'low' reviews in Goodreads - I was pleasantly surprised! My first time reading Peter Robinson, but I must say - I truly do like his style of writing. It kept my interest all the way through the mystery novel. I enjoyed the characters and the quirkiness and sassiness of some of their language. There were many times that a smirk crossed my face with my thoughts of "Guess - she told you!!!!" lol...... Our main character, Sarah hasn't always lived a 'clean' life....has her past come back to haunt her? She is now appearing as actress in a Cop Series and so very much out into the front and centre of the screen - - until of course she starts receiving these anonymous letters. Then people around her become 'dead' - - what is the theme? Is it all because of her. I loved the exciting ride ........Peter Robinson I definitely will be reading more of your writing......

This is my second book that I have read by Peter Robinson - I vaguely remember Abattoir Blues (DCI Banks novel) but this one caught my attention with a foreword by Michael Connelly. Arvo Hughes is a Detective who takes on stalker cases for the LAPD. We are introduced to his background and why he moved from Detroit to LA. He takes on the case of Sarah Broughton, TV actress from the UK who has escaped her past as Sally Bolton. The build up of the chase for the perpetrator was thrilling, with each movement the stalker made it got more interesting. Nice lovely twist close to the end was totally unexpected which had me grinning from ear to ear at how the author could tease us like that. Would recommend. Nice stand alone thriller.

Well-written stand-alone thriller about an English actress, relocated to LA, who's being stalked by an obsessive fan. Written in 1995 but the theme of obsession is very relevant today. Peter Robinson successfully evokes the LA of Michael Connelly, and it could almost be seen as a homage to him.The only downside is the red herring, which sticks out like a sore thumb (sorry for the mixed metaphors).

I'm just going to jump right in and say you can tell this was one of Robinson's earlier novels, only because he's honed his craft of storytelling these past twenty years with some amazing Inspector Banks novels. Don't get me wrong this book was a good read! It just wasn't as complex as some of his later work. What did I like the most about this book? Arvo. I'm actually a bit sad I won't get to read another book with Arvo trying to solve a case. Thankfully I can always turn to Banks! I noticed some similarities between Arvo and Banks such as music selections like Billie Holiday. It's too bad these two detectives couldn't be in a novel together, I think they would have got along!

3.75 First time I’m reading a Peter Robinson’s work. I must admit I really see why Michael Connelly felt so excited to write a foreword for this author. It reminds me the style of the greatest thriller authors and I’d like to read at least one of the inspector Banks stories.The book is enjoyable, smooth, and excited in some parts. Full of details and descriptions. I truly empathized with the main character Arvo and I wish to have more stories of him.

I was going to read the nexf Inspector Banks book, but saw this standalone. It was recommended by Michael Connelly, so immediately checked it out. Very fast-paced with a good gotcha ending. One thing I found implausible was Sarah's withholding information in the beginning of the case. It could have been a great help. Especially the heart drawn in the sand with her name in it!

Set in Los Angeles. I surprisely liked it. Story of a British Actress on a cop show (Sarah) who is stalked by someone from her past. Her past - she had been the former girlfriend, in her drug taking days, to a Rock Star. She wants to hide her past. Again, some deaths and some close calls. A summer read.
