The Falls

I like to mix fiction and non-fiction reading and often alternate between the two. The last book I completed was “The Falls” which is the twelfth Inspector Rebus novel by Ian Rankin. This one has an interesting plot that is not simply a crime investigation but also has quite a bit of character development compared to some of the other books in the series. As usual with Ian Rankin, it was a throughly enjoyable read although I was left with a feeling that if they had investigated the obvious suspects properly in the first place and hadn’t muddied the waters by involving a number of external people in the police investigation then things might have proceeded an awful lot quicker. On the other hand, it wouldn’t have been such a good story!
