About this listen

A junkie lies dead in an Edinburgh squat, spread-eagled, cross-like on the floor, between two burned-down candles, a five-pointed star daubed on the wall above. Just another dead addict - until John Rebus begins to chip away at the indifference, treachery, deceit and sleaze that lurks behind the facade of the Edinburgh familiar to tourists. Only Rebus seems to care about a death which looks more like a murder every day, about a seductive danger he can almost taste, appealing to the darkest corners of his mind...

Maybe it was too soon after I listened to the first Rebus novel, but this didn't really grab me.

Average murder caper

A really good story, well planned out with plenty twists to keep you guessing. Some of the accents were a bit ropey but all in all I really enjoyed this.

Great story

Revisiting Rebus, just as good as when I read it all those years ago. James Macpherson is is spot on.

Excellent

Story, characters, and narration first class, and the world-weary conclusion came as no surprise.

Excellent as always!

Well written story which very quickly draws the reader/listener in, and a nice ending which could leave options open for Rebus.
Still a minor niggle about the performance, which is generally excellent apart from the hesitant split pronunciation of the name Rebus at times.
I would happily listen to more of these narrations.

Good thriller

I’m going right back to the start with Rebus. I left the series years ago because the character got too sad and repetitive. Looking back it’s interesting how simply it all started. Ok listen but not as good as I remembered.

Good listen

An easy, but very pleasant listen.

Jesus, Edinburgh must be a depressing shithole! Rebus is ploughing a lone furrow as a sane man!

hard work
