A Good Hanging by Ian Rankin

4.0

A solid collection of mystery short stories featuring the inimitable Inspector John Rebus. Each story is 10-30 pages long, and features a different case, but there are recurring characters and incidents as the story progresses, making for a cohesive whole. All the stories are set in and around Edinburgh, and feature a wacky and often sad collection of criminals, some of Rebus's fellow officers in the Lothian and Borders, and of course, Rebus himself in all his nuanced, alcoholic, perceptive glory.
