A review by geoffreyjen
Dead Souls by Ian Rankin

4.0

Not my favorite Rebus, but for reasons I find hard to define. Wasn't entirely convinced by the pedophilia subplot, and Rebus seemed, to begin with, more manic than usual and then less manic than usual. Plot went through several additional twists past the climax, didn't seem to want to wind down. I thought it was trying to clean up loose ends, but like most Rebus books, it left several loose ends. Not that that's bad. Don't get me wrong, Rankin is an outstanding writer, this just wasn't my favorite of us.
