Very popular series, Julie. It was on Starz TV as a new series too. Will be back for season 2.

It is a very popular series, not so much for me. I'm on the fence about watching the TV series. Wasn't a big fan of the book. On the plus side, my poor book shelves have sighed in relief on hearing that I wont be adding the next 6 (or is there more) chunkster books to the already sagging shelves.

I started the first one and gave up. It wasn't for me either. I have not watched the series but my neighbor lady that is 77 adores the books and read them several times and watches the series too. Go figure!

I enjoyed the series more then I enjoyed the books. However, nothing beats hearing the Scottish accent then reading it. ;)

My second book of the challenge Knots & Crosses.

I really enjoyed this one, fun read, looking forward to rhe rest of the series.

That was my first experience with Ian Rankin Julie. I love his books! If you can get one on audio its really good that way with the lovely scottish accent reading to you!

This is my second book by him, looking forward to the next books. I've heard his books have had some fantastic readers for the audios

Book 3!
