Even Dogs in the Wild by Ian Rankin

4.0

As is usual with an Ian Rankin book, it was like taking a step sideways and landing in the life of Rebus and Fox and Clarke, with each sip of alcohol (or Irn Bru or sparkling water) and every dog bark, evasive answer, and battered record album wholly imagined and real. Rebus and retirement don't seem to mesh, but that was to be expected, and his involvement in this case (or cases) was only semi-blessed by the higher-ups in the police force. Fox I continue to enjoy - I like his contrasting parts: the need to follow the rules, and the urge to break them. Clarke is an equal third partner in this one, which I enjoyed.
