Characters now seem like old friends.
Fairly lame and predictable plotting.
Ian Rankin, Fleshmarket Close - The new Rebus novel is always an essential purchase for me. Having read & loved all previous Ian Rankin offerings however I couldn't help but be a little disappointed with the plot. A few more twists and a little more drama would not have gone amiss.
That said, it is still a very enjoyable read and a notch above 80% of current crime fiction.
As Rebus nears the end of his career, it will be fascinating to see if Rankin passes the baton to DS Siobhan Clarke or changes direction and makes a clean break. I for one look forward to the next installment.
