The Falls by Ian Rankin
4.0
Although I enjoyed this book, I had problems staying with it. I'm not sure why. It seemed a little on the slow side. Sometimes I think Rankin draws things out a little too much, packs perhaps a little too much detail. Or it could be that my mind wasn't totally in it because of other things going on in my life.
When the privileged daughter of a banker disappears, Rebus and his fellow detectives soon discover that things are a lot more complicated than they first appear. A small coffin is found not far from where her family lives. Rebus learns that the coffin is one of several that have appeared after a body is found. At the same time, Rebus's sometime partner, Siobhan, is following up an internet game that the missing woman was playing.
As always, the ending is a surprise. Really a surprise. There ARE hints though. It's really an excellent book. It could be I was thinking about other things. Ian Rankin still remains one of my top favorite authors.
