7/10
The Black Book
31 May 2021
Rebus is in a bad mood. He has just moved in with a new girlfriend and she has already thrown him out.

Rebus is now homeless as he stupidly rented his out own place out to some students.

When he displays road rage to a visiting high flying detective, he is placed in some counselling sessions.

Finding the body of a dead woman who might have been buried alive does not lighten anyone's mood. Especially Rebus as it has similarities of an unsolved murder from 20 years earlier. Where a woman was buried alive in a local landmark.

Rebus had a suspect called Daniel Raeburn but no proof against him. He was a rich party guy back then, he is now a Member of the Scottish Parliament. His wife is a lawyer.

Rebus should tread lightly but he just cannot help rubbing the MSP and his family the wrong way. A book with ciphers might provide an important clue but someone tries to steal it.

A man in the pub takes a bit too much of an interest in Rebus.

The third series gets off to a strong start, several red herrings, a few wrong turns, Rebus has a vendetta and even a bit of humour.
