Tooth & Nail - a review

Tell Me A Story - Review

Tooth and Nail (Inspector Rebus, #3)Tooth and Nail by Ian Rankin

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is another brilliant story from Rankin – truly one of my favourite authors.

The story spirals and twists quite ingeniously, with Rankin deceiving readers, like the master magician he is, all the way to the end. He stuns and astounds over and over, until the final, accomplished, and thrilling apogee.

If you enjoy thrillers, you will love Tooth & Nail.

Let it Bleed - a review

Tell Me A Story


Let It Bleed (Inspector Rebus, #7)Let It Bleed by Ian Rankin

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Another nail-biting book from one of my favourite authors. As always, you become drawn into the dark life that surrounds Rankin's infamous, Inspector Rebus.


Rankin's stories are always overwrought, always insistent, and always completely electrifying in content. At the centre of them is Rebus, a police detective with bad habits and a large measure of corrosive humour - as human and flawed as the criminals he chases. 

Rebus has always understood that murder is inspired by passion or greed, but in 'Let It Bleed', when bodies begin to pile up, he recognises that there's nothing simple about it.
