4.0

Ian Rankin remains one of my favorite mystery writers. Standing in Another Man's Grave is one of his best. Rebus, the Scottish detective, is retired but working for the police solving cold cases. His latest case is both cold and active. Women have gone missing and Rebus thinks there may be a serial killer involved even though no bodies have been found. Rebus chases down clues, rebels against the rules, drags his friend Siobhan into trouble with him, and talks to members of the seamier side of Edinburgh society. Of course, there is plenty of beer, bars and whisky involved. Rebus may be failing to take care of himself but this mystery series is alive and well.
