A review by finlaaaay
The Falls by Ian Rankin

4.0

My grandma actually gave me this book before I left for Japan in 2012, and I only got around to reading it in 2020. I was surprised at how much it's dated since its release in 2001. Like, a character has a WAP phone, cutting-edge tech at the time. Or the word "barista" is italicized, as a non-integrated loanword.

Anyway the Edinburgh and East Lothian setting made me nostalgic. Crime story was nothing special, there was something about riddles I think.
