Amazon wishlist. Mortal Causes by Ian Rankin. Our Assessment: B : too busy and messy, but holds one's interest. Please Mortal Causes that these ratings solely represent the complete review 's biased interpretation and subjective opinion of the actual reviews and do not claim to accurately reflect or represent the views of the reviewers. Similarly the illustrative quotes chosen here are merely those the complete review Mortal Causes believes represent the tenor and judgment of the review as a whole. We acknowledge and remind and warn you that they may, in fact, be entirely unrepresentative of the actual reviews by any other measure. The complete review 's Review :. Mortal Causes begins with a description of a particularly brutal murder the shots through both Mortal Causes, both elbows, and both knees were not what killed himand one of the later killings Mortal Causes also extremely unpleasant which should make you think about firehoses in a completely new way. Yes, DI John Mortal Causes is dealing with some really nasty bad guys here. Rebus has his own way of going about conducting an investigation, but he also has to go where he is pushed and nudged. The crime suggests an IRA connexion, and points towards some Scottish nationalist groups. Rebus even gets to travel to Belfast, and sees first hand -- as he had decades earlier, in his SAS days -- what Mortal Causes violence can lead to. A second story-line -- soon enough quite clearly intertwined with the first -- has Rebus take an interest in a youth club at Pilmuir's Garibaldi Estate -- called the Gar-B -- where things look to Mortal Causes gotten completely out of hand not least because of sectarian tension. But then Gar-B -- frequently visited in the book -- generally resembles Belfast. Finally, old Rebus nemesis 'Big Ger' Cafferty comes into the picture as well: the first victim turns out Mortal Causes have been his son which practically nobody knew and he's out for revenge -- i. Cafferty is in jail when this all begins, but eventually decides a more hands-on approach is required -- meddling Rebus decidedly does not appreciate. Rebus doesn't have an easy time of it. When one of the men on the case, Inspector Ken Smylie, takes it personally as well he should that further complicates matters. And Rebus' flirtation with a lawyer despite his living with Patience are soon the cause for additional aggravation. Inevitably he admits: "Always it came Mortal Causes this, he tried to do things by the book and ended up cooking them instead. The conclusion, as so often in Rankin's novels, ends with Mortal Causes and Mortal Causes confrontations Rebus managing to find himself in mortal peril not once, but twice and catastrophe just averted -- all a bit over the top. Still, it's a decent ride for most of the way, the contrast of bleak housing estate world and Edinburgh Festival unreality that's right, all this happens during Festival season nicely done, and Rebus' juggling acts -- women, criminals, colleagues, alcohol -- as entertaining as usual. The sectarian differences and the Scottish nationalism are a bit too simply treated, but they suffice for the purposes of the novel. Rankin is ambitious here, but isn't willing to go into the necessary Mortal Causes he doesn't flesh out the issues as he begins to do in the later volumes in this series. The police procedural aspect still dominates, the sensational crimes more important than all the motives behind them though a shift in Rankin's approach is palpable, if not truly evident. A decent Mortal Causes, but not a real success. Trying to meet all your book preview and review needs. Mortal Causes Main. Mortal Causes - US. Mortal Causes - UK. Mortal Causes - Canada.

Written by Anonymous. This episode was made at the same time and was scheduled to be shown in September In the books, Rebus is described as being world-weary, probably a bit a lot? Unfortunately John Hannah is too lean, "smooth" and Mortal Causes to be a convincing Rebus. I'd opt for someone like Ken Stott Messiah, Promoted To Glory to play the character: he's the right age, has an authentic accent to my untutored English ears! Looking for something to watch?
