Sad. Not a sad story, but sad that this is the end of the Rebus books.
The story was pretty good, but I mostly didn’t care about the whole Russian angle. We do get the usual coincidences and big web of connected people, which sometimes is fun, and sometimes grates. What makes this story, like many of the Rebuses, is the interactions of the characters we’ve come to love – watching Rebus, Siobhan, the other CID members, and even Cafferty deal with John’s impending retirement made for an excellent show.
