Title: It's all about image!
Review: That is what John Rebus finds when he is dealing with an MP who has been caught in a house of ill repute. John keeps going back to Gregor Jack trying to help him fix the damage to his career, but while this is going on Jack's wife is missing. Rebus has many bad feelings, and when her body turns ups, Rebus and his faithful Sergeant Holmes trail a killer. The investigation throws them up against some of the so-called "cream" of society, and John has to pussyfoot around in order not to upset feelings. These Rebus books are really good. I enjoy Rankin's eccentric and spare writing style. I also enjoy the look at Scotland that the books give. And most of all I enjoy Rebus. He is a real character! The mysteries are always quite complex. Lots of fun.
