Reviews

SPECTATOR
Rankin is a phenomenon. He has made Edinburgh an imaginary or rather fully imagined city as nobody, except Spark, has done since Stevenson
DAILY EXPRESS
A must-have for all Rebus fans as the writer, revisiting the rural Scotland of his upbringing, reveals the genesis of his characters
OBSERVER
Absorbing analysis ... Rankin blends autobiography, cultural analysis and the process of creative writing into a pure malt
SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
Rankin's Rebus novels should be required reading for anyone whose knowledge of Edinburgh has been derived from visits to the Festival
John Connolly, IRISH TIMES
Rebus's Scotland is interesting, particularly for fans of the novels, and nicely produced ... Rankin is such a perceptive observer
