I thought you ladies were going to sort this out by the time I came back!!!  I'll set up a poll with all the books mentioned as possibles but not just now. Monday is forecast to be poor weather, so I'll do it then - unless anyone wants to step in and do it before me of course! Is anyone into crime novels? I sometimes read Ruth Rendell but I'd never, until now, read any of Ian Rankin's Rebus novels and I've only ever seen one dramatisation on TV. (Isn't Ken Stott exactly Rebus though?) So, as we were travelling light, and only allowed one book each(!), we got 'unisex' books, no 'women's books where nothing happens' (  )for me, no Sci-Fi for him This meant we could both happily read both books and would not be too reliant on whatever other people had left in the hotel 'library'. Anyway, I digress (how unusual ) Just wanted to say that the most recent Rankin, 'Exit Music', was very very enjoyable. And it has 'discussion points' and reading group suggestions at the back. It might be another one worth adding to the poll list. |

Have to own up - another Rankin fan here, but I have not read Exit Music yet. Can't bear the thought of Rebus retiring - and yes, Ken Stott is/was a perfect characterisation IMO. It was a shame they started with John Hannah who is a perfectly good actor, but was just not right for the role - too young again IMO. |

I never saw John Hannah Don't despair - there was mention of a possible Unsolved Crime Unit (like New Tricks) in Exit Music. Now, wouldn't he be great as the curmudgeonly, nicotine stained, scotch-raddled, old style cop in that, under the command of a go-ahead youngster? And aren't I lucky now - I have the whole gamut of the previous Rebus novels to anticipate reading. |

I'm a big crime fiction fan; especially love Ruth Rendell! Just picked up a new one of hers, Not In The Flesh, at the library today. Also love Minette Walters. |
