Rebus is sent to training school but is all as it seems? Rebus thinks he's gone in to dig up dirt on his classmates but by the end is questioning if it's not him they're after.
I enjoyed this book most when it was focused on the Marber case and found the interpersonal drama and questioning about Rebus' own involvement in the cold case a bit muddle and hard to follow at times. I didn't know if there previous books that I hadn't read so missing context or if the Manse case was new to all the books. I liked the way they all tied in nicely but not my favourite Rebus or certainly of this genre.
