A book I read for university, and one I thoroughly enjoyed. This book really knocked it out of the park in comparison to the first Rebus novels I read, with a complex plot and likeable, fleshed-out characters. So many different mysterious strings leading back to the same killer, and never did the book seem convoluted, boring, or unclear. My only quibble with it is the end, which was logical, but left me frustrated, without the criminal actually caught.
I especially liked Siobhan Clarke's greater involvement, and I was definitely a fan of seeing points of view other than Rebus's, and especially of seeing him and his relationships with others through the eyes of those others. It was a nice change of perspective and priorities.
