I have recently finished reading The Complaints by Ian Rankin. A detective thriller, following the path of one Malcolm Fox as he overcomes one obstacle after the next in his hunt for truth and justice.
Ian Rankin really does know how to emphasise the power of the scene. He provides excellent descriptions of the surroundings, without over-encumbering you with too much detail, or heaven forbid, telling the reader what they should be seeing.
Each character is given their own set of distinguished unique personalities, however the reader can hardly trust any one of these characters, even up until the very last few page turns. Questions are asked throughout the book, each one begging to be answered and ultimately ensuring that I personally remained swept up in all the drama.
Recommended read.
