reviewed Rather Be The Devil by Ian Rankin (John Rebus -- [21])

Not greatly impressed

This feels very much like squeezing a little more out of a well wrung out towel. Rebus is pulled back into the action and seems able to go and do whatever he likes despite no longer being in the 'polis'. Strained my credibility. The ending seems rushed and a cop out.
