2008-07-07 Rebus this ain't !!

Stuart MacBride is good - but he's not great. His stories have very little depth and there are far too many people involved.

The main character, DS Logan MacRae, is bullied by two foul mouthed DI's. The constantly bra re-arranging Steel and jellybaby-noshing Insch. Both of these activities become very tedious after a couple of chapters.

Rebus would never have put up with being bullied by these two.

MacBride needs to give MacRae some backbone - and some personality.

Room for improvement - meanwhile a good book, but not a great one.
