Considering buying the first book in the series, Knots and Crosses.

Has anyone read it?

I've read the whole series, it's probably my favourite series of books tbh. I think he comes into his own with "Black and Blue" onwards but the earlier books are a decent read anyway.

Read all of the Rebus books years ago and absolutely loved them.

@britespark1I'm reading the Jack Logan series by JD Kirk and they are a good series if you enjoyed Rebus.

Thanks for the suggestion. I need something new to sink my teeth into Smile

I love the Rebus series but I wasn't as taken with the first 3, I loved #4 and didn't like #5 much but after that was hooked.

Yes the later ones are fantastic reads although I wasn't gripped by the last one but the one before that has to be my favourite of the series.

I love them but I spent a lot of time in Glasgow and it brings back the earthy humour of Glasgow and Edinburgh

Yes, I think some people don't appreciate how funny Ian Rankin is.
