Product Description

Synopsis

As head of Edinburgh's CID, Detective Chief Superintendent Bob Skinner has seen it all...but even he is shocked by the savagely mutilated corpse discovered in a dark alleyway. The victim is a successful young lawyer, and the motive for his brutal death remains a mystery. Then further seemingly random killings suggest a vicious serial killer on the rampage. What eventually emerges is an elaborate smokescreen shrouding a deep-rooted and intricate conspiracy. Now, whatever the danger to himself, Skinner is determined that in Edinburgh, at least, folk will abide by his rules.

5.0 out of 5 stars For anyone who loves a good crime story, 18 Sep 2001
This review is from: Skinner's Rules (Bob Skinner Mysteries) (Paperback)
Quintine Jardine starts to build the rich character of Bob Skinner from the start, capturing the quintessence of both Edinburgh and a crime investigation. The first of eleven books in the series. You'll pick it up and not put it down.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great discovery in my opinion, 22 Oct 2005
By fivestarfrankie (chippenham, wiltshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
  
This review is from: Skinner's Rules (Bob Skinner Mysteries) (Paperback)
Of modern writers I rate Ian Rankin, Ruth Rendal, Reginald Hill, Peter Robinson and Peter Lovesey.

Spotted a pattern there ?

This is the first Skinner book I've read and you can be sure it won't be the last !

To fans of the five writers named above you can buy this book with TOTAL confidence

5.0 out of 5 stars If you enjoy crime fiction this book is for you!, 10 Oct 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Skinner's Rules (Bob Skinner Mysteries) (Paperback)
As I know and love Edinburgh and enjoy reading crime fiction, a friend recommended I begin to read the 'Skinner' books. To enjoy these books you must read them in sequence starting with Skinners Rules.

Quintin Jardine is by far the best author of crime fiction I have ever read and cannot understand why his books are so high up the 'charts'. This book is a great read and keeps you in suspense right to the last page.

Enjoy!

PS: I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to my family, but really I can't put Jardine's books down, anyway you are able to fend for yourselves for a few days whilst I finish my next 'Skinner book'!!!
