    Called "required reading for crime-fiction followers" by Booklist, The Naming of the Dead is Scottish writing sensation Ian Rankin's 16th thriller featuring Edinburgh's Inspector John Rebus. It is dark, complex, and utterly gripping.

    It takes a little bit to get the plot thickened and going, but then ~ WATCH OUT, 'cause you will not be able to stop listening. Very good book, as always, from Rankin :-)

    Gipsy's Acre was a truly beautiful place, with views of the sea, and in Michael Rogers it stirred a childlike fantasy. There, among the dark fir trees, he planned to build a house, find a girl, and live happily ever after. Yet, as he left the village, a shadow of menace hung over the land--for this was the place where accidents happened.

    This was, in my opinion, a very different approach for A.C. I really enjoyed the story but I was a little ruffled at the last 45 minutes of the book ~ All in all though, I really liked it and I would recommend it to anyone who likes A.C. ~ Just don't expect Poirot or Marple style; this book stands on it's own. .

    By calling everything into doubt, Descartes laid the foundations of modern philosophy. With the celebrated words "I think therefore I am," his compelling argument swept aside ancient and medieval traditions. He deduced that human beings consist of minds and bodies; that these are totally distinct "substances"; that God exists and that He ensures we can trust the evidence of our senses.

    Story

    Even though the narrator does a good job, it can be taxing to listen to. Since I have read the book I was hoping I might be able to grasp the audiobook, but it is still difficult.
