Book Review: "A Heart Full of Headstones" By Ian Rankin

Saints and sinners and everything in between is what Ian Rankin brings to us in his newest work.

I enjoy a heart pounding thriller.  "A Heart Full of Headstones" delivers with Inspector Rebus at the helm in the 24th of this popular series.

Rebus is standing trial for a crime that could put him behind bars for life?
Why would he risk crossing that fine blue line?
Detective Siobhan is asking the very same question. A misconduct case involving a cop gone rogue could be the reason. Finding the cop will expose more than a few superiors and mentors.

It begins with Stephanie Pelham who's facing divorce with her developer husband James. 

Meanwhile, there's been a murder at the flat. A bizarre occurrence surfaced in which there's a photo of the crime scene floating around involving Francis Haggard.

Money launderings, drugs, gangs, firebombs, and some shady dealings involving repayment of rent using a club doorman is on the books. 

Inspector Rebus was asked to get to the bottom of it all while the Devil is resting on his shoulders. 

The ironic concept is the ending in which Rebus faced some of his own legalities.

The other irony involves a man named Jack Oram who many believe was killed but for whom this case was born.

Would Jack ever be found?

Could Rebus solve such a complex situation of inner personal connections amongst our wide array of characters?

I love how this book rolled through every scenario while leading readers on a wild-goose chase.

Thank you to Ian Rankin, Little Brown and Company, Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
