Narrator Samuel Gillies is English and does a fine job with the London characters, but his voicing is too plummy for my taste and he has to work too hard at Rebus's Edinburgh accent to make him entirely convincing. The New York Times calls Ian Rankins Inspector Rebus books 'A superior series,' and Tooth and Nail is another outstanding entry. well, I can't say I found the psychology of the serial killer here very convincing, and the killer's internal monologues are pretty excruciating to have to listen to, but Rankin does a nice job of throwing red herrings in the reader's path to figuring out who it is. Series Rebus, Book 4 Duration 9h 52m Categories Adult Fiction, Crime, Thriller and Mysteries Publisher Orion Version Unabridged Save to Wish List Add to Favourites List Gregor Jack, MP, well-liked, young, married to the fiery Elizabeth - to the outside world a very public success story. The next best thing is Rebus's London colleague, Inspector George Flight, and his interaction with Rebus but then in the early Rankin mysteries I've read so far Rebus's collegial relations are a lot more engaging than his love interests. Rankin has fun skewering some of the sillier and more self-inflated aspects of the English capital circa 1990-and London attitudes toward their Scottish neighbors-but gives due props to the city's vitality and variety as well. The best thing about "Tooth and Nail" is the chance to see London through John Rebus's bemused eyes.
