“A crackingly well constructed mystery thriller.
Set on the island of Lewis in the Scottish Outer Hebrides. A body is discovered preserved by the peat, the main suspect is an elderly man with dementia.
It is the middle book of a trilogy (I didn’t know this and it is easily a stand alone novel).

Score 8.5/10

Date read November 2013

“Rebus is a top British detective in the way Poirot was in his day.
It’s Rebus that made this book, the story was good too but I struggled to feel the ending would satisfy avid crime readers

“Hollywood script writer and this is reflected in his page turning style.
Nothing wrong with this thriller and could read others with the character Elvis Cole in.
As for the plot, three days later I’d struggle to remember it, is this important? The Forgettable Man?

Score 6/10
