What would the world be without Rebus? A mite boring, I suspect. At times I want to shake him until his teeth rattle, other times I want to give him a hug. Ian Rankin has created a character that I both love and despise at times but I enjoy this series and the Scotland it shows.
Another installment of John Rebus by Ian Rankin is always something to look forward to.
Oddly, in retirement the John Rebus character appears to be more appreciated by bosses than when a police employee.
Big Ger Cafferty is also back and the antagonistic back and forth between old foes and the changing dynamic of their relationship is interesting to follow.
In this book, someone is killing a number of people where no link between them is clear, which impedes the investigation. There are also other plot threads involving other aspects that may or may not be related to the main plot. Rankin also continues to add more depth to the former Complaints investigator Malcom Fox.
Rankin's Rebus books are like old reliable novels that will keep the reader coming back.

I enjoyed this very much, and will continue to take this journey - albeit familiar and consistent, down the road into Scotland's criminal underbelly with Rebus, Siobahn, Fox & even Cafferty. These books for me are coming up on being a 20-year commitment to Rankin's ever-improving craft and the development of these characters is something I cannot help but love to read.
this is not a rating book, it was picked up in an airport to pass the time; Rankin is always good at what he does but this one is too close to reality in some parts
