Critics Review
‘If you havent tried Rankin, this is an excellent place to start.’
‘If you haven’t tried Rankin, this is an excellent place to start.’ – Sarah Broadhurst SUNDAY TIMES ‘Ian Rankin efficiently exorcises the ghost of Rebus in this post-Rebus stand-alone novel, set in the police complaints department in a recession-riven Edinburgh’ METRO ‘Another slick crime caper from a master at the top of his game’ (4 stars) NEWS OF THE WORLD ‘a familiar Rankin blend of whodunnit, workplace soap opera and a spiky guide to Edinburgh, handled with flair and finesse. With The Complaints, the author conclusively shows that he can put together a satisfyingly complex detetective story without a Rolling Stones-loving, former SAS sleuth at its centre’ – John Dugdale SUNDAY TIMES ‘The first Rankin novel featuring Edinburgh policeman, Malcolm Fox, a very different character from DI Rebus, who works for the unpopular Complaints & Conduct department of the Edinburgh force’ GOOD BOOK GUIDE ‘Ian Rankin showed their was life after Rebus by creating a new set of Scottish police characters in the very satisfying THE COMPLAINTS’ DEADLY PLEASURES
