Even Dogs in the Wild by Ian Rankin
5.0
Ian Rankin just cannot write a bad book. True, they are not all equally good, but his general level is very high and never failing. I'm a little bit infatuated with the cool Malcolm Fox and I really, really like Ms. Clarke. That I also like grumpy old Rebus goes without saying. This trio is really unique in crime fiction and I think that the constant shifts in their relationships are part of what makes this one even better than the previous one.
Also, even though there are several murders, you might even say that there's a serial killer at large, it has none of the dark, sinister super-violence of many of its contemporaries. It has criminals of various types, just as you might expect out there in the real world. And they are human too. All of them.
Ian Rankin is never ever sloppy with language. All phrases are turned just so and very often there's a twinkle in his eye. I simply adore that.
Again, I think that James MacPherson, who has narrated all of Rankin's books, adds to the pleasure in a major way. I've gone so far as to check Audible for other books that he has narrated. Unfortunately, there are only a few.
