Rendition As Books The Naming of the Dead (Inspector Rebus #16)

The sixteenth Inspector Rebus novel from 'Britain's No.1 crime writer' DAILY MIRROR.

A murder has been committed - but as the victim was a rapist, recently released from prison, no one is too concerned about the crime. That is, until Detective Inspector John Rebus and DS Siobhan Clarke uncover evidence that a serial killer is on the loose ...

When Rebus also starts looking into the apparent suicide of an MP, he is abruptly warned off the case, not least because the G8 leaders have gathered in Scotland, and Rebus's bosses want him well out of the way. But Rebus has never been one to stick to the rules, and when Siobhan has a very personal reason for hunting down a riot cop, it looks as though both Rebus and Clarke may be up against their own side ...

Assess Out Of Books The Naming of the Dead (Inspector Rebus #16)

Excellent addition to the Rebus story. I never saw the ending coming - never figured out the "whodunit." Plus Rankin is laying the groundwork for Siobhan Clarke to become more and more her own person, and less of Rebus' apprentice. It's nice character development.

Always excited to read another Rebus. Sad to think I am close to coming to the end of this fabulous series. John Rebus is one of my all-time favorite series detectives. I love his sense of humor, his "prickly-ness" and, most of all, his dedication to finding the truth at the expense of all else. His partner, Siobhan, is equally interesting; so much like Rebus in so many ways and yet absolutely appalled to see herself like him and yet unable to stop herself from going into that dark world Rebus

Nearly every time I read one of Ian Rankin's novels, I think, "OK, this one is his best." Well, this one is going to be difficult for any of the others to beat, if only for its amazing scope.Usually Rankin's Scottish detectives are plodding around their beats in Scotland, concerned primarily with their country's own past, present and future. But "The Naming of the Dead" takes place against a much larger backdrop, with a G8 summit that took place outside Edinburgh in July 2005. Protesters

I own both the hardcover and an uncorrected proof copy of this book.

I gave this book 5 stars as I think this series and this instalment in particular stand well above the other modern 'detective stories'. I don't think you could get more for your money: a complex case, complex characters, great setting all distilled with great aplomb and charm by the writer.

This was another great read. I first found Ian Rankin and Rebus on a trip to Scotland. Now every time I read one of the novels, it's like revisiting that area again. Since I've been there, the setting is familiar. And Rebus is a detective that manages to solve the case, in spite of the road blocks put in front of him. And in this case there are plenty of them. See if you can figure it out before he does.

A decent Rebus read. The usual characters are around with Siobhan playing a good part. It will come as no surprise to most followers of Rankin stories that Rebus falls out with/gets in trouble with a number of people. Partly political (and maybe somewhat dated by now) it is actually about murders and motives. Decent holiday read.
