5.0 out of 5 stars Rankin is the Best, April 9, 2000

This review is from: Strip Jack (Mass Market Paperback)

Ian Rankin once again proves that he is amongst the best, if not the best writer of Crime Fiction in the world. Strip Jack has all the twists and turns that make Ian Rankin's books unputdownable. The plot, MP wife's suspicious disappearance and subsequent murder, moves along really well. The numerous sub-plots, unlike in some stories, actually help the book to move along rather than detract from the main story. As usual all the plot lines are integral to the story. All in all an excellent addition to the Rebus series, if you like good British Detective fiction (and who doesn't, it is the best after all) this is a must for your library.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better and Better, March 13, 2001

This review is from: Strip Jack (Mass Market Paperback)

As Ian Rankin's series progresses, Detective Inspector John Rebus is becoming more and more likable. This time he's trying to solve the murder of a local MP's wife. He comes up against the usual brick walls put up by superior officers on the way to solving the case, but in this book for the first time, he seems to have made a friend in the force in young DS Brian Holmes.

I'm finding the Insector John Rebus books even more enjoyable since the newer, mellow John Rebus has been developed.

A wonderful British police procedural full of wit and glint-in-the-eye humour.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Case for Scotlands best Detective, April 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Strip Jack (Mass Market Paperback)

I cannot believe that the reader from Chicago found this book so Bad. I however enjoyed it hugely. This was the first Inspector Rebus novel I read, and I'm looking forward to read a lot more. With out spoiling the novel, its about a MP who is caught in a brothel whos wife is murdered. If you like novels with twists and turns and masses of tension and touches of humour then you will love this book.
