Another excellent Rebus novel, although we never find out who the Zoo poisoner is...

Found it took me a while to get into the story and parts of the book dragged for me. Enjoyed the multiple story lines that crossed over and the depth of Rebus character but felt the book just needed to be shorter for me.

One of the more thought provoking Rebus novels as it deals with a pertinent moral dilemma. The whodunnit and other mysteries is as always very well constructed.

Finished in a couple days so it was clearly good. I find myself a bit disappointed in the ending though- I’m a bit confused.

As much as I enjoyed this book on the whole, the multiple storylines kept getting muddled for me and I found some of it difficult to follow. I loved the character of Oakes though, he was awesome. This wasn't the best Rebus novel I've ever read but it wouldn't stop me reading more.

One of my favourite Rebus novels, bit of a dodgy subject area but handled very well and makes for a gripping read. And Rebus is back on the booze...is it wrong to like him better when he is?!
