Summary
The 10th Inspector Rebus novel from "Britain's best crime novelist" (Daily Express).
Stalking a poisoner at the local zoo, Inspector John Rebus comes across a paedophile taking pictures of children. When the social workers claim he is there for legitimate educational reasons, Rebus is faced with a dilemma - should he be outed to protect local kids or given a chance to start anew? As the locals begin a hate campaign he gets a call from the past: the son of a friend has gone missing and no one else will make time to ask the right questions. And then a fragment of Scotland's criminal history is repatriated at the end of a life sentence for murder.
Once more Rebus' cup of trouble runneth over and the ghosts of past misdeeds return to haunt Edinburgh's streets.

Good story marred by shortening
I am addicted to Ian Rankin and to Inspector Rebus in particular, and bought this one because I am running out of full-length versions on Audible. But this one is so severely abbreviated that it becomes difficult to follow and much of the enjoyment is lost. I don't suppose they will ever release a full-length version, but if they do I will buy it, despite having listened to this one.
It must be galling for Ian Rankin to have his stories butchered in this way.

Dead souls does not do it!
I am listening to all the Rebus books in chronological order. It is the worst I have come across. It is very short and lacks the depth and plots of its predecessors.
I did not like the reader who failed to differentiate the accents of different characters sufficiently. Having a lot in kind with Rebus I am hoping the next is as good as the Hanging Garden. I shall persevere.
