A review by eleellis
Even Dogs in the Wild by Ian Rankin

4.0

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.
