What we end up with here is the ideal thriller for its setting. It may seem a little slow of pace for those used to modern crime novels, but for those who enjoy something with a little more meat to it, this is the perfect read. Every part of it works together wonderfully and whilst the concept of Rebus meets Frankenstein isn't terribly realistic, somehow it still feels quite believable. As good as I found Ruckley's fantasy writings, his crime writing is even better. A master of all trades indeed.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag. We also have a review of [[The Free by Brian Ruckley]].
For another well-written crime novel, albeit with a more modern setting, check out Jim Kelly's [[Death Wore White by Jim Kelly|Death Wore White]]. You might also enjoy [[The Stranger From Home by Frederic Lindsay]].
