The Falls is clothed in tension and [recent] historical events. Read on as Rankin games his way through an ex of Rebus' and the promise of a new love interest.

The one where Siobhan Clarke realizes how much like DI Rebus she is. Creepy dolls and miniature coffins. Love this series!

Audible free, a good one with a better ending, still a very chatty type of mystery. Which demonstrates the author having to get into a lot of people's heads for all that dialogue

I picked this book up from the gift shop of Rosslyn Chapel in Edinburgh. It was very cool to read the book and be able to picture the places mentioned in the book. I’ll definitely go back and read the series from the beginning. The characters are well developed and the plot very engaging. Right up my alley.
