About this listen
Edinburgh is about to become the home of the first Scottish parliament in 300 years. As political passions run high, DI John Rebus is charged with liaison, thanks to the new parliament being resident in Queensbury House, bang in the middle of his patch. But Queensbury House has its own, dark past.
Legend has it that a young man was roasted there on a spit by a madman. When the fireplace where the youth died is uncovered another more recent murder victim is found. Days later, in the gardens outside, there is another body and Rebus is under pressure to find instant answers.
As the case proceeds, the Inspector finds himself face to face with one of Edinburgh's most notorious criminals...

Would you consider the audio edition of Set In Darkness to be better than the print version?
No, as the story is great, but the narration is awful.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
The narration was over the top so had to be listened to in small measures. I would have expected Ian Rankin of all people to be against the use of this narrator.Terrible Narration!

It’s great to see Rebus upsetting the top brass, and managing to get away with it. Something he seems to do regularly. Which I find entertaining.
It’s great to have Rebus’s nemesis back on the scene. Big Ger Cafferty being one of my favourite villains in the Rebus series.
If I had to find a negative with this story, it’s the fact that I thought that it’s probably over complicated, and feels a bit drawn out. But apart from that Ian Rankin has Rebus on top form.
Once again I only have praise for the excellent narration by James MacPherson.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I really liked this Rebus novel. I am going though the series form the beginning and this is my favourite so far, not as much action but a real challenge for the characters.Who was your favorite character and why?
Siobhan really comes through in this book and shines. Hopefully she becomes a more integral part of the series going forward as she is a good foil to Rebus.Have you listened to any of James Macpherson’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Just through this series and I love his performance. The Scottish accent is great and easy to follow characters.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The scenes with Cafferty were most intriguingMore a Mystery than Thriller
