If you're looking for a good police procedural then it's difficult to better [[Ian Rankin]], but you might also like to look at Benjamin Black's [[Christine Falls]]. It's not strictly a police procedural but is probably one of the best crime novels written in recent years.

|comment= I also thought that this book could have been better. He had a really good plot, like the reviewer, I guessed about half way through who the killer was, but there was too much about his personal life, OK when the murderer involved his girlfriend, but a lot was irrelevant. Whatever your problems you put them aside when you go to work, whether you work in an office or in the police force, if he was as good a detective as he thought he was then he wouldn't let his personal life get into his work life. I am sure that people do not consistently flick their eyes to one side or another, you would get a headache! Imagine being in court and saying to the judge "I knew he was lying because of his eyes". But I was impressed enough to read the first book in this series.
