Resurrection Men
Resurrection Men: An Inspector Rebus Novel | Ian Rankin
6 posts | 10 read | 3 to read
Inspector John Rebus has messed up badly this time, so badly that he's been sent to a kind of reform school for damaged cops. While there among the last-chancers known as "resurrection men," he joins a covert mission to gain evidence of a drug heist orchestrated by three of his classmates. But the group has been assigned an unsolved murder that may have resulted from Rebus's own mistake. Now Rebus can't determine if he's been set up for a fall or if his disgraced classmates are as ruthless as he suspects. When Detective Sergeant Siobhan Clarke discovers that her investigation of an art dealer's murder is tied to Rebus's inquiry, the two-protg and mentor-join forces. Soon they find themselves in the midst of an even bigger scandal than they had imagined-a plot with conspirators in every corner of Scotland and deadly implications about their colleagues. With the brilliant eye for character and place that earned him the name "the Dickens of Edinburgh," Ian Rankin delivers a page-turning novel of intricate suspense.

This installment of the Inspector Rebus series has Rebus sent for “retraining“ among other problematic police officers and involves several complex storylines.

Loved thus book, but that should be no surprise as I love all the John Rebus books that I have read so far. This was a much more in depth story than some of the earlier ones and there were two different plot lines going on at the same time. Love Ian Rankin's style, which really conjures up the feel of Edinburgh. If you love a good down to Earth crime book I highly recommend this series.

Time to get back to one of my favourite characters, Rebus. Love Ian Rankin's writing, hope this one doesn't disappoint.

Yet another dreadful bloody Rebus. These are becoming chunkier and less satisfying. Rebus barely makes it out alive after doing practically no police work whatsoever and essentially goading his suspects into murdering him.

Even Siobhan is full-on irritating in this one. Yuk.

My #booktober pick for "award winning" is the 13th book in Ian Rankin's Rebus series. Resurrection Men won the Edgar Award for Best Novel in 2004. This is a very battered library copy. Rankin is much loved in our library system! Also, I like this style of cover better than the "highlighter covers" they have now.
