  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " Better-than-average mystery, but with too many loose ends and something of a Hollywood idea of what's credible, not quite typical Rankin. "

    - Dennis, 11/30/2013
  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " A killer book. A little loose, but a story that is purely believable even if the motive is a little difficult to grasp. I can only imagine how cool Scotland is and how great a place it would be to pub hop with John Rebus. "

    - Jerry, 11/28/2013
  • Overall Performance: 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5

    " This book is seriously bloated. It could be reduced to a third of its size. Even at that, the story is not that interesting, and the subplot is annoying. While interviewing a shooting victim, he takes some of the kid's painkillers! What cop would do that? "

    - Mystery, 11/1/2013
  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " A good, old fashion mystery. I am enjoying this book and am looking at the online library system to order more in the series. I like mysteries that take place in London, maybe it reminds me of Sherlock Holmes. :-) "

    - Elaine, 10/24/2013
  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " Great suspenseful read. I liked the way things often took a turn to the unexpected. Rebus' problems with alcohol and authority are beautifully worked out. "

    - Rene, 8/14/2013
  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " I love the relationship between Rebus and Siobhan, both intensley defensive and protective of the other. A Question of Blood is another great read although I did guess the ending pretty early on this time. "

    - Lili, 6/3/2013
  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " I always enjoy Rebus novels but this one is particularly gripping. I found the characters compelling, in this particular book there is a lot of depth to even the incidental characters. The twists in the storyline are well managed and Rankin's writing is top notch as usual. Highly recommended. "

    " Trusty Rebus. Comfy read as you know what to expect and don't guess what the end of the plot is going to be. "

    " My first listen of an Inspector Rebus book, although I think I've read others a long time ago. This one was good although a bit more drawn out than necessary. I will read or listen to more of this series. "

    " This book was excellent. One of the best by Rankin that I've read so far in the Rebus series. The plot was well developed, interesting, and with a great pace. Detective Rebus almost seems to jump out from the pages thanks to Rankin's ability to make him so alive "

    " Inspector Rebus. I don't usually figure out the endings to Rankin's books, but did on this one. Still, the writing is excellent and he manages to bring all the plot lines together without a contrived feeling to the ending. "

    " I know Ian Rankin is a prolific writer but this is the first book of his that I've read. Even though the main characters are complicated interesting and the plot keeps the story moving I found it rather depressing-- no one seems happy. "
