Knots and crosses by ian rankin5/18/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And how can you not feel favorably disposed toward a book with the epigraph “To Miranda, without whom nothing is worth finishing.” (The series begins with Knots & Crosses published in 1987, and ends with Exit Music published in 2007.) I’m so glad I read this first book it’s very good, and gives a lot of background on Rebus that one might be glad to have later on in the series. Knots and Crosses is Book One of the Inspector Rebus series. I ordered this book from the library because I had won a couple of Ian Rankin books featuring Inspector Rebus, but I do have an obsessive need to start at the beginning of a series. There are some mysteries you read because they are the only things available in the airport gift shop and you are desperate then there are those that rise above the designation of “airplane book” and are more aptly considered “crime novels.” Ian Rankin’s books fall into the latter category. ![]()
