The Falls by Ian Rankin

3.0

3.5 stars. This year I have made it a goal to read books in genres that I don't gravitate towards. I normally don't read crime or mystery books, but who can live in Edinburgh and not read the books of its most eminent authors? Ian Rankin is an Edinburgh-based author, and his characters wander the streets, alleys, and surrounding areas of the places I have come to know and love. It was fun to walk down Princes Street, across George IV bridge, hike up to Arthur's Seat, and explore Rossalyn Chapel with the characters. If you are into crime or mystery books, I can recommend this one. Definitely not your cozy crime fiction, but it is compelling all the same.
