Not one of the better ones in the series. Perhaps I am not interested in Irish politics.

Really good theme. Had a few too many characters for me though. Lots of characters skin deep. Really enjoying the character Siobhan.

A body is discovered in and there is a question of who investigates-Special Branch or the locals. Great writing. Great story. Tension and conflict abounds.

Not as good as others I have read by this author. Too many characters are introduced and I had difficulty keeping track of all the different police from differing agenies!

My first Rebus novel and I enjoyed the action set to the back drop of the Festival and sectarian acts. There's a lot going on in Edinburgh and not much chance for Rebus to sit down and relax. Enjoyable read and I did like Rebus.

Another good solid read in this series. A tortured body is found in a medieval cellar during the Edinburgh Festival and Rebus and his team investigate. I have really started to enjoy this series. Rebus and his supporting cast are becoming more fleshed out and believable and the plots in the last couple of books have been much more to my liking.
