Rankin's writing is so clean, clear and crisp. There is not one wasted word or description. I love the dialogue too and the droll humour of the characters, including of course Rebus.
What I liked is that Rankin is able to so easily grab you and get you into the story immediately. I haven't got into a book so quickly for a while.
The great thing about being a late convert is that I now have an extensive back list to read. Nearly finished Book 2 - Hide and Seek and have Book 1 Tooth and Nail waiting.
Will pick up Book 3 Tooth and Nail from library tommorow!
Soooo good to find myself working through another list;-)

OMG - you're back to blogging! This must mean some semblance of normality... ;)
So glad to see you here.
I've got a Rankin book on my shelves to 'try', after getting rave reviews from a few others. At least you'll have quite a few to work through!
Btw, you won't be surprised to hear that I found Scarpetta somewhat excruciating. I think it was in the first few pages, conversation between Scarp and Benton, when Scarp is described as speaking at the "speed of sound". I mean, really, WTF?!
Thanks, Tseen! An aah it is nice to be back & to be able to enjoy reading again.
Recovery going well, even driving around locally now.
And yes you must read Rankin and I am never happier than making my way through a list;-)
Mmm not surprised you found scarpetta BAD. At least you didn't pay for the book!
BTW what happened to FB??? You onto twitter now....
