A Good Hanging by Ian Rankin
Eleven Inspector Rebus mysteries, including the hanging of a student during the Festival, an arson attack on a bird watcher, and the apparent witnessing of a miracle...If you're the kind of traveller who likes to step off the tourist trail this is the book for you.
'Audiobook of the week..the main pleasure of these 11 tales lies in the baroque nature of the criminal puzzles the Edinburgh copper has to solve: a student actor hanged on his own gallows; a ghost complete with stigmata; a supposed IRA assassination attempt. Macpherson played DCI Jardine in ITV's Taggart for 16 years, so is at home on this Scottish police beat, which stretches back to Rebus's early years in print' -- Karen Robinson THE SUNDAY TIMES 'A treat for Rebus fans who like clever mysteries served up professionally and fancy-free; unsolved likewise. It was also an unexpected treat for this reviewer, who does not read much crime, but found herself gripped by Rankin's art as a story-teller.' -- Melanie Reid THE HERALD 'Rankin is incapable of writing a bad story, and the four here display the usual mix of easy erudition and wit, finished off with compulsory twists.' -- Alison Rowat THE HERALD
