It’s the May Bank Holiday weekend and for once the sun is shining, but rain is forecast for tomorrow, so it’s not really a day for spending much time reading – the garden is calling. But I’m currently well into Ian Rankin’s first Rebus book – Knots and Crosses – and I would love to finish it today. I think I know who the murderer is.
I’m reading it in the omnibus edition which contains the first three Rebus books so I’ve got Hide and Seek and Tooth and Nail to read after Knots and Crosses.
In Knots and Crosses one we learn about Rebus’s life before the police force when he was in the army, about his brother, Michael and about his ex-wife Rhona and his daughter Samantha. Rebus receives cryptic anonymous letters containing pieces of string tied in a knot and matchstick crosses. It’s all a play on words – knots/noughts and crosses and acrostic puzzles added in too.
So far I think I’ve worked it out, now I’m off to see if I’m right.

I too read a crime fiction. I reviewed that today on my TSS post.

It’s supposed to rain here, too, tomorrow. :-( Oh, well. Guess I’ll read in the house! :-) Have a great rest of the weekend regardless of the weather!

It is our Memorial Day weekend here, and for once it is sunny and warm. Usually this 3 day-er is rainy and cool-kind of a local joke most years. My yard is calling me too, but I am just about done with Cranford and really want to just sit and finish it!
*smiles and happy weekend*

You’re reading lots of mysteries right now, and I’m envious. I’m working on An Expert in Murder, but I’ve had other books that need more attention lately, so I’ve had to set it aside temporarily. And I’m really in the mood for a good mystery!
