Welcome to Litsy!

Kinda strange that my first Ian Rankin read is book #19 in the John Rebus series but I loved it and I will go back to the start of the series now so I guess I can be forgiven 😁

@PuddleJumper One of my March #Roll100 picks.

I am on a Rebus roll at the moment, these are when he comes out of retirement. The first one is Standing in Another Man's Grave. I posted about already.

This story delves into Rebus's past at the beginning of his career and a group of cops called The Shadow Bible. I just really like Rebus! I have already read the next one!

I haven't read rankin for a few years and had forgotten how much i love his storytelling and his brilliant detective john rebus. And having read him for 20+ yrs he is the only writer who inspired me to by cds he references, here Jackie leven has the opening quote + it is a gr8 album.
The story is as ever rebus pitching against authority,villains, whilst aging catches up with him as the indep ref looms, old colleagues pressure him + bodies appear.

Listening to Becoming (only have a few hours left), knowing I will finish reading these four books tonight! Another tough week, including three job interviews within 24 hours and a funeral today. I have earned a night of reading! Yesterday I read for 7 hours 🙂#readathon #24B4Monday @Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid

My first time with Rebus, certainly well overdue.

I read the whole thing in about 15 hours... Which included 8 hours of sleeping! (Yay vacation!) Ian Rankin is SUCH a good writer. Highly recommended.
