Book Log 2018 #24: The Naming of the Dead by Ian Rankin

The sixteenth Rebus novel moves between a murder of a rapist that may be the work of a serial killer and the death of a member of parliament that Rebus is getting waved off of as it may sully an important international meeting. You can imagine how Rebus takes that.

I was worried that the political aspect of the MP's murder would feel off, but it didn't. I do like it when Rebus bumps up against higher-level law enforcement and intelligence types. It would be weird if he was able to completely foil them, so the amount of success he does have seems realistic.
