#2 The Falls: An Inspector Rebus Novel, Book 12 - by Ian Rankin(Audiobook)

A student has gone missing in Edinburgh - completely out of character. She's not just any student, though, but the daughter of extremely well-to-do and influential bankers. There's almost nothing to go on until Detective Inspector John Rebus gets an unmistakable gut feeling that there's more to this than just another runaway spaced out on unaccustomed freedom or worse.

Two leads emerge: a carved wooden doll in a toy coffin, found in the student's home village, and an Internet role-playing game. The ancient and the modern, brought together by uncomfortable circumstance and a curmudgeonly detective happier with long-playing records than digital technology. In this powerful novel, Rankin brings together past, present, and future in a terrifying duel of good - in the persons of DI Rebus and DC Siobhan Clarke - and evil.

Very masterly at voices and kept moving right along, great job!

This is a really well-rounded story that retained a tight grip on the mystery. Great listen, and by the way, excellent narrator.

[stringlarson]

What a treat.
All of that plus a Mark E. Smith reference worked in. Brilliant.

Wow. A long book. I read this some time ago now, long enouh to forget the story. I found the first part very slow but there was more going on in the second part. I did guess who one of the killers was quite early on.

Scottish accent sounds very charming to me. By the way I am Japanese.

All these pub crawls. How does anyone afford them?
