KNOTS AND CROSSES

Detective John Rebus's city is being terrorized by a baffling series of murders...and he's tied to a maniac by an invisible knot of blood. As the ghoulish killings mount and the tabloid headlines scream, Rebus cannot stop the feverish shrieks from within his own mind. Because he isn't just one cop trying to catch a killer - he's the man who's got all the pieces to the puzzle....

HIDE AND SEEK

In a shadowy, crumbling Edinburgh housing development, a junkie lies dead of an overdose, his body surrounded by signs of Satanic worship. Inspector John Rebus could call it an accident. But won't. Now he's got to search the city, from the tunnels of its dark underbelly to the private sanctum of the upper crust, to find the perfect hiding place for a killer.

THE BLACK BOOK

Five years ago, a mysterious fire burned Edinburgh's seedy Central Hotel to ashes. Long-forgotten and unsolved, the case reappears when a charred body - with a bullet in its head - is found among the ruins. Inspector John Rebus knows that his superiors would prefer he leave things alone. He knows that part of the answer lies somewhere in a cryptic black notebook. And he knows that to solve the case, he'll have to peel back layer after layer of unspeakable secrets to arrive at the truth.

pretty good read

A bargain to get 3 novels for the price of one-a little slow at times but worth continuing on.

Narrator's voice does not match the character

The narrator sounds well over 60 although the character he is narrating is supposedly in his 30's(?).
Very distracting to listen to someone who doesn't really suit the character.
The first story was okay. The second a bit better. May or may not listen to the third.

great deal

3 books for one credit. I love Inspector Rebus. Highly Recommend for detective story fans.

The 3 book deal is a great bargain

I was a little concerned that these books would seem dated. However, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the stories and the narration. I wish audible would offer these bundled deals more often.

Performance Odd

Great story with nice characterization and interesting twists. Very distracting narration though with most of the male characters performed in gristly, rumbling, pirate voices. Why? Needs more variety. Females all sound simpering. Strange gender splits in the narration.
