|comment= Considering that DH has particpated in the march while I now live 25 minutes by bus from Gleneagles and my doctor and the nearest library are both in Auchterarder, while Strahallan School where some of the police were stationed in is couple of miles down the road, I really should read this one!   

|comment= You'd feel quite at home, Magda!   

|comment= I haven't read Ian Rankin before, but this review did interest me and make me want to read more. I have enjoyed the few detective novels I have read in the past; I shall endeavour to add this one to my collection.  

|comment= I enjoy reading Ian Rankin's books and prefer the books to the TV series.  

|comment= Rankin's Rebus always reminds me a little of Mark Billigham's D.I. Thorne - they're both gritty series. My main worry from this book is whether Rebus will find a place to go to - for any reader of gritty crime fiction, the thought of his retirement is upsetting.  

|comment= It worries me too. Siobhan Clarke is a good character, but as a foil to Rebus rather than instead of him. I'm not at all certain that would work, unless he was retired in name only!  

|comment= I think the tv character that is closest to the book is undoubtedly Ken Stott. There is no substitute for a good read tho'! ;o)  

|comment= Oh, give me the book any day, Claire!
