Book still in a very good unmarked condition. >>> I had extremely high expectations prior to reading this book. After all, this is the culmination of a long and amazing series. Perhaps, I would say, the best series of crime novels since Chandler. Maybe even better. This was the last one. DI John Rebus's last days before retirement. - It was with a mix of dread and hope, that I picked it up and started reading. I wanted things to end well for Rebus, but I knew it wasn't going to be all rosy and happy either. It just wouldn't be Rebus, if that had been the case. I won't spoil it here, suffice to say that the ending lived up to every bit of expectation and then some. It would have left me screaming for more, had I not been in a public place at the time of finishing the novel. Just one more page? Please? - John Rebus has grown to be a friend of mine. He's not a perfect guy, in fact he's extremely stubborn and sometimes a bit of an ass, but I like him. His sarcasm, his taste in music and his distaste for authority is similar to my own. I was sad to see him retire and would like nothing more than to drop down to the Ox and buy the man a pint and a malt. Alas, he is but a figment of Ian Rankin's imagination, so I'll have to settle for thanking the author instead. - So, thank you mr. Rankin, not just for a fantastic series that got better and better through the years, but also for a fitting and deserving end to a distinguished, albeit fictional, career. - This is a great novel on several levels. The plot, the characters, the descriptions - all of it is as good as the best of the other books in the same series. But with the added touch of being what it is. The exit music.
