This is the first book I have read by Ian Rankin. For the most part, I really enjoyed it. The characters were compelling and I truly wanted to know what happened to them. That was the problem. The plot was unfolding and then, all of the sudden, it was over. I felt like I missed two or three steps to the conclusion. This may have been because I was listening, not reading the book.. At times, the English accents required more careful attention to what the narrator was saying. Overall, I like the book, but I was disappointed in the ending.
Rating - B
