Book Review : Strip Jack By Ian Rankin
Strip Jack is the fourth book in the John Rebus series by Ian Rankin . It's also my first Rebus novel but i have more on the kindle as i succumed to "99p syndrome" and bought about 6 in one go.
Gregor Jack is an Member of the Scottish parliment and unusually for a politician he's well liked by his constituents, even Rebus likes him. so when he's caught with his trousers down in a raid on a brothel it's a bit of a shock to say the least and then his wife goes missing ..... I think you can see where this is going.
Obviously I won't spoil the rest of the book for you as it's my number 1 rule to not give out spoilers if i can help it . What i will say though is that Strip Jack is a very enjoyable novel it's quite dark in places but there's also alot of very funny one liners and if you're thinking of trying Rebus then this is as good a place as any to start.
I like Rebus as a character and will definatley be checking out his other adventures and maybe the TV series aswell , even though i'm told it was really bad.
To be honest i've been wanting to check out Ian Rankin's work for some time but i've been busy, now i'm kicking myself a bit for not doing it sooner.
