Product Description

As Detective Inspector John Rebus tries to tie up some loose ends before retirement, a murder case intrudes. A dissident Russian poet has been found dead in what looks like a mugging gone wrong. By apparent coincidence a high-level delegation of Russian businessmen is in town. The politicians and bankers who run Edinburgh are determined that the case should be closed quickly. But the further he digs, the more Rebus becomes convinced that this is more than just a random attack...

5.0 out of 5 stars Goodbye and Thanks For The Memories, 30 Aug 2008
By Ian Paterson "exiledscotsman" (Newcastle Uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Exit Music: An Inspector Rebus Novel (Paperback)
What a fantasic send off for one of the great creations of modern literature.
I have read all the Rebus books in sequence over the years and fans of the series will be delighted to know Ian Rankin has written a a suitable finale.
We join Rebus with one week until his retirement and in a great device the chapters count down the days no surprising the pieces don't slide together until the final day of the week.

A murder of a Russian poet in Kings Stable Road gives Rebus one last case to solve soon ties are being made to big business, politicians and the criminal underworld led by Rebus' nemesis Big Ger Cafferty. Is this the last chance saloon for John to finally nail Edinburgh's gangster ?
As has been the case with the last few Rankin books the reader is left guessing right until the final pages who has commited the crimes. I can say that I guessed part of it but I doubt anyone will be able to predict all the conclusions.

The early books in the series were enjoyable but it's been the last half dozen that have really elevated the series the introduction of DS Siobhan Clarke I feel was where it really kicked in giving Rebus a genuine partner to bounce off. This book is no exception with the scenes with them together being the strongest. It's real shame in some ways that Rankin's decision to age Rebus in real time deprives us of further INSPECTOR Rebus books but if you haven't ever read any of the series you are so lucky to have twenty books available to you.

For the rest of us here's looking forward to the first of the DI Clarke stories which if Ian Rankin decides not to write then there really will have been a crime committed.

4.0 out of 5 stars A bit of a let-down, 16 Sep 2008
By John Nevill "jnev52" (Liverpool UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Exit Music: An Inspector Rebus Novel (Paperback)
A very good plot, and well up to the usual standard of Rankin's powers of perceptive and descriptive writing, but let down, I think, by a somewhat lame ending. Admittedly, it's difficult to know how he could think of a finale which would appeal to all readers, but having just finished reading it about an hour ago, I can't help feeling a bit "flat".

5.0 out of 5 stars One of his best., 8 Dec 2008
By L. Reiter (Yorkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Exit Music: An Inspector Rebus Novel (Paperback)
I've read about half a dozen Rebus books and this was the best, though sadly the last in a long series! (I shall go back and fill in the gaps as he is a character I have come to love.) Fabulous metaphores throughout the book, the plot was good and although I felt flat at the end (because it was over), don't agree that this was because the ending itself was flat. It was inevitably 'Rebus' and entirely appropriate.
