Standing in Another Man's Grave
by Ian Rankin
Another excellent job by Ian Rankin on this book of the Inspector Rebus series.
In this one, the Inspector is somewhat retired, working as a civilian on cold cases. He's still the same old John Rebus for the most part, doing things the old-fashioned (his) way, drinking and smoking a lot, and speaking bluntly.
Rebus works on a string of missing persons cases involving young women to see if they're related, and just what happened to them all. Were they murdered? Did they just run off?
Rankin does a great job weaving Rebus' personal life into the mystery at appropriate times, showing us why he acts as he does without revealing so much to hit us over the head with it.
I enjoyed trying to figure out how all the characters fit into the grand scheme of things, whether they had more to do with Rebus' personal or professional life or the case at hand.
Well written, kept my attention throughout, couldn't put it down.
