Valoración general: ⭐️⭐️

Se nota que fue de las primeras novelas de este autor. La historia es floja y a veces totalmente improbable y rebuscada. Los diálogos son planísimos y artificiales, y además hay demasiados personajes que no aportan nada.
Con todo no está muy mal, se lee bien y fue el primer paso para la serie de uno de los detectives más conocidos de la literatura escocesa reciente.

Is this what happens after too many pints of 80/- in the Ox?…

Today's Flickr photo with the most hits: the Oxford Bar, Edinburgh.

The bar is the drinking hole for both Ian Rankin and his fictional detective, John Rebus. Keeps decent malts!

While on holiday I read Saints of the Shadow Bible by Ian Rankin. I feel like the Rebus novels hit the perfect spot for me of a realistic crime novel but without ever offering me any chance to empathise with the baddie - meaning I’m not put off by glorification of evil that other authors want me to enjoy. This story is set around the 2014 referendum campaign and its fascinating seeing it around events I properly remember being part of.

I just got a really interesting gift as a belated ( It shipped from GB) Christmas present, and I’m thrilled.
If you are a Rankin/Rebus fan, it’s for you too if you like to do jigsaw puzzles to unwind.
It is a painting of author John Rankin’s head, fashioned using all his John Rebus’ books using Edinburgh sites as clues. I cannot wait to start, having read them all. Evidently it is available on Rankin’s web site, my friend said.
