Appearance
The Black Book
John Rebus is one of my favorite British Inspectors. I have enjoyed all of the Ian Rankin John Rebus novels.
The Black Book
I love all of Ian Rankin's books, even though I get rather bored with Rebus's drinking episodes. I come from Edinburgh, but it's not an Edinburgh I ever remember, full of murderers and thugs - but entertaining ones!
The Black Book
I would recommend it to any Rebus reader. It has all the usual ingredients and the usual good prose. Not the greatest, but damn good.
The Black Book
As usual Rankin delivers characters with flesh on the bone, and totally believable. A page turner of the first degree.
The Black Book
Good, but in my opinion one of the weaker Rebus books. I found the ending a little contrived especially when Rebus confronts Nell.
The Black Book
Ian Rankin has a great style of writing. His character, John Rebus, isdelightful in his approach to dective work. He is a stong character butlaid-back. He reminds be so much of "Columbo" of passed T.V. fame.
