Review of Exit Music - Ian Rankin

Not a good note to exit on

Advantages: Rankin plots are always good, Rebus is great
Disadvantages: not the same as other Rebus novels

I have read (and loved) Ian Rankin's Rebus books for a number of years. Last year, he brought our Night Music, centred around the G8 summit in Scotland, which was very much a Rebus novel. And then this one. What happened? The length is the same (long). The setting is the same (Edinburgh). The characters are very much the same. But the FEELING is wrong. Is Ian Rankin already working on his next novel in his head and just 'bashing out' this one to end the series? Or does he really think that this is a fitting end to his fabulous, award-winning series of books? The story is fine, and worthy of Rankin's Gold-Dagger-Award style. Hard-nosed cops, convoluted plot, a bit of politics, Edinburgh gangsters, and a bit of personal life thrown in for good measure. All good stuff. If you've never read any Ian Rankin and like a good detective story ...
