Inspector Rebus Book 7

Struggling through another Edinburgh winter Rebus finds himself sucked into a web of intrigue that throws up more questions than answers.

Was the Lord Provost's daughter kidnapped or just another runaway? Why is a city councillor shredding documents that should have been waste paper years ago? And why on earth is Rebus invited to a clay pigeon shoot at the home of the Scottish Office's Permanent Secretary?

Sucked into the machine that is modern Scotland, Rebus confronts the fact that some of his enemies may be beyond justice...

I am fond of Rebus even if self destructive. He always solves the puzzles. I will continue with this series.

Another intriguing investigation!

Rebus is a well-drawn character, developing and becoming more bad tempered and more cunning with each new book. Plots are excellently twisting and hard to follow, exciting, not too violent (well, mostly) and set in cold inhospitable Edinburgh. They are a completely reliable delight.

Good story but sad to think that this happens especially in big business the world over.

Corruption

Rebus after some dodgy pollies. Great story as usual. Lots of humour involving Farmer Watson and Flower the Weed.

Consistently very good

I thought the first book of Rankins I was was boring, but cause everyone says how good he great he is and that the Rebus books are the best I thought I'd try again and jumped forward to this one.

Nope, as much a waste of money as the first. NOTHING happens. I love a good Police procedural, and have read 116 British crime detective books in the last 2 years, much of it Tartan Noir, and these would have to be my least favourite.

main character is really weak, too much detail about nothing relevant at all, and I genuinely don't even care who killed the victim. I don't care about anything happening in the book at all, let alone any characters. No idea why people rave about Rebus, to me every aspect was poor and boring.

Boring and draaaaaags on forever.
