Ed asked:
"Are other of Rankin's novels I should be checking
out?"
I've read a handful in random order and enjoyed them all.
This is a series that I think is worth reading in order
because Rebus has a rather complicated web of relationships,
partnerships, friendships, emotional crises, alcholism, etc.
I've vowed to get to these soon but I have to finish up
Connelly and Pelecanos first :). Anyway, of the ones I've
read, I thought "Hanging Garden" was by far the best; and
"Dead Souls" (which may have been "Lost Souls" in the UK?)
was almost a great book though it had a few plots too many. I
counted no less than 4 plots; not even a matter of plot and
subplot because they'e all almost equally developed. This
could easily have been 2 or 3 books. In fact, Rankin
published a more extended version of one of these plots in
novella form - called "Death is not the end" I believe.
