" good once I got into it, took a couple of tries. Going to read the rest of the series. "

" Entertaining book with a good plot. "

" 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
-
" 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. "

" 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? "

" 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. :-) "

" 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
-
" 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

" 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. "

" Rankin has just joined the ranks of one of my favorites... "

" 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 "
- Ricardo, 10/6/2012
-
" 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. "
- Lisa, 8/25/2012

" Not one of his better ones "

" What can you say except pacy, gritty and an all round good read. "

" 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. "

" Excellent - one of the best in the series... "

" It was not the page turner I thought it would be at least for me but the last part was worth reading the book for!

" I actually give between a 4 and a 5 but I am so hooked on Inspector RebusI err on the side of generosity. Love this character.

" Detective Inspector John Rebus and Detective Sergeant Siobhan Clarke break most of the rules (thank heaven) as they crisscross their way around Edinburgh and, of course, catch the bad guys.

" I couldnt complete it. I lost it midway.. Probably not my type of book But it kept me engaged till the point I read.

" Rankin is consistently good.
I enjoyed the part where the less-than-smart Bob is introduced to The Wind in the Willows, his first book.
