4.0 out of 5 stars Bigger and Bigger, 13 Oct 2007
By 
Ian Paterson "exiledscotsman" (Newcastle Uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've been reading the Skinner series in order I really can't see how anyone could read them any other way. I love rebus but essentially there's about 4 characters in Rankin's series. With Jardine there are so many recurring characters you need to have read the whole series to have any chance of remembering who evryone is.

With the last few books the crime has kept getting bigger and here is no exception. Adding a real life person added to the tension and the twist right at the end I have to admit has been one of the best of the whole series.

I'm kind of glad that the Sarah relationship looks like coming to an end she was a key character in introducing the reader to Skinner but I feel their story had started to detract from the thriller element of the books.
I hope the next book carries on with the story because I want to understand the twist more.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good. But need to read it in order, 4 July 2010
By

(REAL NAME)   
This is an interesting well written book. However it isn't a book you can just pick up and read. You need to have read it's prequels otherwise you will find yourself lost inbetween the charecters and the occurances. Aside from that, the fact the story is based in Scotland provides a breath of fresh air inbetween the many American books of the crime genre and it is also an intriguing plot, even if it does sometimes get ahead of itself.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not his best, 10 Aug 2005
By 
D. Duckfield "daved" (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lethal Intent (Bob Skinner Mysteries) (Hardcover)
This is another good read that continues the various storylines developed in previous volumes. The book's one major weakness is the same as in the last volume - Skinner's acceptance of his wife's infidelity. Someone of the DCC's character would not, I believe, be so submissive to such an arrogant and selfish Sarah. That she is now leaving his life is not before time (however, I don't think she'll be away for long) let's hope that a more appealing figure takes over that role. Otherwise, a fine plot well crafted.
