Very good – I have really enjoyed Ian Rankin over the last couple of years; odd because I never used to. Perhaps it was the alcohol.
By the time you get to the end of this, it is the resurrection of Rebus' great foe Cafferty (is Holmes & Moriarty a reasonable comparison?).
What is so good here (and there is a lot that is good) is that Cafferty makes virtually no appearance until about page 300, when, to Rebus' surprise, it transpires that he has been released from prison on ‘health’ grounds. But the whole plot, which appears to be about a posh family on the fringe of Scottish politics, has been driven by Cafferty’s associates.
Makes me want to re-read all the Rebus books in order.
