Bad Boy is the 19th novel by Canadian detective fiction writer Peter Robinson in the Inspector Banks series. [1]
Cheryl Parker of the Ottawa Citizen wrote: "The story flags toward the end, requiring two chapters to explain the previous non-stop action. But otherwise it's a page-turner — the highest praise for crime fiction." [2] Gary Curtis of The Hamilton Spectator "highly recommended" the novel, though criticized its characterisation of Banks. [3] Catherine Ford of the Calgary Herald opined that while the novel is "well written and interesting", it "lacks a gripping narrative". [4]
