I love Rebus. This didn‘t disappoint. However I had a hard time keeping track of who was who. But it was okay, it all worked out in the end and I understood it all. Loved the ending. 😊. The last sentence.

Reading to a background of Broncos football is one of my favorite things #BringOnFall
This was another good installment in the Inspector McLain series. I enjoy the police- procedural- with-a- smidge- of- the- supernatural aspect of these books.

4th & last stop: a sunny day in #Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (Victoria Street)

The Future Future: great cover, very weird concept and terrible execution. Zero stars. I just flipped through the second half and it got weirder and weirder.

#ColdAsTheGrave #JamesOswald #BookSpinBingo #SeriesLove2024 #May2024

Her mummified body is hidden in the dark corner of a basement room, a room which seems to have been left untouched for decades. A room which feels as cold as the grave.

EadieB
As a rowdy demonstration makes its slow and vocal way along Edinburgh's Royal Mile, Detective Chief Inspector Tony McLean's team are on stand-by for any trouble. The newly promoted McLean is distracted, inexplicably drawn to a dead-end mews street... and a door, slightly ajar, which leads to this poor girl's final resting place.

But how long has she been there, in her sleep of death? The answers are far from what McLean or anyone else could expect. The truth far more chilling than a simple cold case...
This is the 9th book of the series. It is a cold case of a mummified girl with plenty of twists, turns and supernatural elements.
6mo
EadieB It is a fast-paced page turner of refugees and how they are treated. Tony is promoted to Chief Inspector which doesn‘t allow time on the street but Tony decides to investigate anyway. It has great characters and plot that has pushed Tony and Emma to their limits as Tony seems to get lost in his job and forgets to pay attention to Emma. Madame Rose and Mrs. Saifre return to the story. It is one dark and gritty book that you just have to read. 6mo

I'm really enjoying this series with its mix of authentic-feeling (to this non-cop) police procedural with supernatural elements. I like that Tony McLean 1) will not stop digging on a case until he gets the truth, even when that tenacity is detrimental to his career, 2) cares for the people on his team, 3) his response to the supernatural situations he finds himself in- a mixture of acceptance and exasperation- amuses me.

Leaving a surprisingly chilly Atlanta to go back home to chilly Denver, while reading about winter in Scotland. 🌧☔️❄️🌨

AmyG I‘m in Denver and today the weather changes! Mid 60‘s 🙌🏻 7mo
bookandbedandtea @AmyG We're back home and it's BEAUTIFUL here! The snow has melted- and mid 60s is my favorite. 😊 So much more comfortable (IMO) than the 80s and humidity we had in Southern Alabama. 7mo

One of the richest men in Edinburgh is found dead in bed with traces of arsenic in his stomach. His son is accused of the murder but Raven's new fiancée believes him to be innocent and asks him to investigate.

Despite some well-worn tropes, the mystery all came together nicely enough but the social and medical background are still what attracts me to this series.
