Now I'm hooked on Inspector Rebus. Funny thing is I don't much like him but what is important to me is that Ranking makes his characters real.

The story of Let it Bleed was just amazing and Inspector Rebus was caught like a fly on fly paper and yet he manages to twist himself to a plausible solution. Since this is my 1st Rankin I don't know if this is typical of his novels, but I hope so.
