In a House of Lies

Consequences. The twenty-second installment in the John Rebus crime series by Ian Rankin is a novel titled, In a House of Lies. All the familiar characters are back for this novel, the fifth since Rebus was forced to retire from the Edinburgh police. After the remains of a private detective who disappeared a decade ago are uncovered, Siobhan Clarke thinks her mentor, John Rebus, might help her solve this cold case. Some events from the past have serious consequences in the present if they come to light, and Rebus, aware of the risks, tries to use the case to press his own agenda. Fans know that that agenda includes Big Ger Cafferty. If none of this makes sense to you, consider reading this novel or this series anyway. The writing is great, especially for those readers who like crime fiction. Rating: Four-star (I like it) Click here to purchase In a House of Lies from amazon.com.
