  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.0

As is almost always the case, Rankin's whodunits are competently written, but it is manner in which his main cast of characters come to life, which makes him an exceptional writer. Another very special novel.
