A Heart Full of Headstones - Ian Rankin
She read
This is #24 in the Inspector John Rebus series; it is the second one I have read, having only recently discovered Ian Rankin’s Tartan noir works. Scotland is just coming out of Covid lockdown and the retired, ill Rebus is in jail on charges of murder. How did he get here and is this end of him? The actions leading up to this arrest expose the underbelly of the Edinburgh crime scene as well as police corruption.
Well written and fast moving, the plot is a bit complex and there are a lot of characters. It took a while for me to get them straight in my mind. I think it would have helped in understanding some of them had I read more than just one prior novel in the series.
Fans of Rankin’s John Rebus will enjoy this latest installment. For those just being introduced to it, you might want to go back and read some of the prior novels.
Thanks to @netgalley and @Littlebrown for the arc
