Standing in Another Man's Grave
by Ian Rankin
It's good to have Rebus and Clarke back with us. Featuring Rebus and Rankin's new detective Malcolm Fox in the same novel only serves to highlight what three novels have shown us: that Fox is a tiresome pain in the you-know-what. (explaining why I am not reading the Fox novels now) Another unwelcome presence in this novel is Ger Cafferty. I never much liked the Rebus novels that focused on Cafferty. I would have preferred some resolution to put that all to rest and yet here we are still stuck with the gangster. Sigh. A good interesting mystery with Rebus at his usual dogged form, always the best advocate for the victim, police politics be damned. That's what we love about him. Now if Rankin could only leave Cafferty behind as he should have in the last book, for good.
