THE BEAT GOES ON The Complete Rebus Stories

James Macpherson does a fine job narrating these stories about Edinburgh police detective John Rebus. His narration brings to mind an author reading at a bookstore. The stories themselves are entertaining enough, but it's unlikely the listener will become fully immersed in any single tale. That said, this collection is a treasure for Rebus fans--it covers much of his career and showcases many aspects of the detective's complex personality. Newcomers to the Rebus canon may want to try a full-length book for a deeper introduction to a fascinating character. G.S.D. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2015]
