5.0 out of 5 stars Consistently excellent. Rankin never lets us down, 16 Aug 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: A Good Hanging (Mass Market Paperback)
Perfect as a first Rankin book and introduction to Rebus, or for a quick fix of excellent stories when you're too busy to spend 10 hours with a Rankin novel that you just can't put down.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for all Ian Rankin fans!, 30 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: A Good Hanging (Mass Market Paperback)
If you are an Ian Rankin fan who finds it hard to put down his books then this is the one for you. There is a nice mixture of short stories so you can put the book down to do essential chores! As usual the style, delivery and content cannot fail to please.

4.0 out of 5 stars Different lengh, same quality, 26 Mar 2003
By G. Heron (Falkirk, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Good Hanging (Mass Market Paperback)
Having read a number of the Rebus novels I was worried that Rebus in short story form would not be as entertaining. I am glad
to say such worries were groundless; these stories are excellent examples of short story writting and retain the flavour of the novels.
