Ian Rankin

Post by Maggie Knows »

Just finished reading the latest (possibly final) Rebus novel, and was amused to see a reference to Enid Blyton in it.

There's a scene where the team investigating a murder numbers only 5 detectives, and one of the characters points out that it was good enough number for EB.

"And in Scooby Doo" says another.

"Yes, but one of them was a dog" comes the rejoiner.

Which makes me suspect that Ian Rankin hasn't read any FF lately!!!

Certainly sounds like it! :D

How smashing though!
"You're so sharp you'll cut yourself one day!" Hunchy said going to the door
"So my Mother told me that when I was two years old!" said Julian and the others giggled.

:lol: Thanks Maggie.

Well spotted. You're obviously not a slouch at a bit of detecting yourself! :wink:
This is a Green Knight Book which means that it is a book by one of the most popular authors of all.
