Reviews

Rankin has an unparalleled ability to draw in the reader and make us feel every knock and setback in Inspector Rebus's red-raw life. Rarely has that talent been better displayed than in EXIT MUSIC - SCOTLAND ON SUNDAYBrace yourself for a stoater of a cliff-hanger ending - SUNDAY TELEGRAPHOne of the most beguiling characters in the history of crime fiction - it leaves them gasping for more - THE TIMESEvery page crackles with energy - EVENING STANDARDBoth Rebus and Rankin are at the height of their respective powers, and this web of intrigue is as good as detective drama gets - GLASGOW EVENING TIMES
