Couple of quiet pints in the Oxford. Bestselling author Ian Rankin is shining his countenance upon us approvingly (this is the Edinburgh bar his character Inspector Rebus drinks in, as does the author himself)

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 Iโ€™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.

Love listening to audiobooks while walking or just before going to sleep. I decided to treat myself to some new audiomaterial ๐ŸŽง๐Ÿ“–

I have to apologize for my last post. I called Ian Rankin John Rankin. I donโ€™t know where my mind was.
Anyway, John Rankin is a dog catcher in Outer Hogswatch.
Ian Rankin writes hard biting police officer John Rebusโ€™ adventures in Edinburgh.
What a boo boo!

It's the first christmas for about two decades where my pile of reading doesn't include a crime novel.
It feels odd - I'm a completist in lots of things - I wouldn't dream of skipping the new album, even though it feels like posh karaoke - but the thought of a new novel by or doesn't excite me.
Partly the cliches of the format have worn me out - how many more times can the venerable time worn detective 1/2

If you're a Scottish crime fiction fan -- what are some of your favourite books? And if you reply or , you gotta name the novel.
