 ... perhaps slightly lacking but it was well covered in his previous novel. His ability to bring these two different worlds within the same city together is also excellent. He is able to develop sympathy from the reader for one particular dweller of the squats whilst building up a dislike for some of the others. Brief Plot: In a rather undesirable part of Edinburgh a man is pushing a woman out of the front door in a panic. Claiming 'they have murdered me'. How can someone still living say this?

This is the second book in the Rebus series and it picks up John Rebus' life a few months after the end of 'Knots and Crosses'.

I also liked that the book picked up right from the outset and that I did ...  Read the complete review
