Today I’m in Edinburgh with DI Rebus investigating the disappearance of Philippa Balfour, a university student known as ‘Flip’ to her friends and family. She had arranged to meet friends at a bar on the South Side but hadn’t turned up. Her father is a wealthy banker living in The Falls where a carved wooden doll is found in a coffin shortly after Flip’s disappearance. Flip was involved in an Internet game involving solving cryptic clues – is this connected to her disappearance and who is the Quizmaster? Click the button to find out where other readers are today.
So my teaser this week is from page 280 of The Falls by Ian Rankin.
‘Right, here’s what we’ve got so far. We’ve got Burke and Hare – taking things chronologically – and soon after them we’ve got lots of little coffins found on Arthur’s Seat.’

Sounds like one of those deep and dark mysteries. More coffins – more bodies? Hope you’re enjoying it.

I really enjoyed Rankin’s book when I read it recently — it’s a fun mystery, but I loved the picture it offered of Edinburgh best.

I haven’t read any Rebus but have watched the television versions with both actors, and liked them a lot. I think it is in an Alexander McCall Smith book, one of the Isabel Dalhousie books perhaps, when they are walking around Edinburgh and go by Mr Rankin’s house. I seem to remember a courtyard?
