Critics Review

  • Rankin is a phenomenon. He has made Edinburgh an imaginary or rather fully imagined city as nobody, except Spark, has done since Stevenson

    SPECTATOR

  • Absorbing analysis … Rankin blends autobiography, cultural analysis and the process of creative writing into a pure malt

    OBSERVER

  • A must-have for all Rebus fans as the writer, revisiting the rural Scotland of his upbringing, reveals the genesis of his characters

    DAILY EXPRESS

  • Rebus’s Scotland is interesting, particularly for fans of the novels, and nicely produced … Rankin is such a perceptive observer

    IRISH TIMES

  • Rankin’s Rebus novels should be required reading for anyone whose knowledge of Edinburgh has been derived from visits to the Festival
