145. Ian Rankin - Tooth And Nail


Another Rebus. I never used to enjoy these, but no.128 rekindled my interest.

Rebus is sent to London to help investigate a serial killer, who appears in the opening pages to be a woman. This appears to narrow the suspects to about three characters, but in fact, it is a man with a bit of a fucked up self-image.

I like Rebus as a character and there are some good jokes, but the ending was typically frenetic with a desperate car chase through London to save the love interest from the killer. I prefer my endings a bit more subtle.
