Mahler in Alan Banks Series

[Clov]

I've recently started reading the Alan Banks series by Peter Robinson. People liking classical and also crime mystery fiction should check him out. So far I've only read 'playing with fire', 'cold is the grave', 'in a dry season', and 'bad boy'. Haven't yet come across detective Banks mentioning Mahler. Sort of flubbed-up reading 'bad boy', big spoiler as it is last as of yet published in the series. My Question: What does Banks think of Mahler? Does anyone else read this series?

I'm afraid I don't know Peter Robinson - I'm not well read anyway - but somebody did a book a couple of decades ago along the lines of, "Late Nights Thoughts With Mahler's 9th Symphony" - or some thing. Here it is:
