About this listen
The iconic Ian Rankin returns with the essential must-read thriller of the year.
"Loved In A House Of Lies. How does Rebus keep on getting better and better? Ian Rankin is a genius."
LEE CHILD
"One of British crime writing's greatest characters: alongside Holmes, Poirot and Morse ... Beautifully told, superbly constructed and utterly engrossing."
DAILY MAIL
"Absolutely wonderful. Clever, gripping, a fabulous read."
KATE MOSSE
"Rankin's Latest and Greatest. It is stunning. I didn't sleep for three nights reading it."
JILLY COOPER

IN A HOUSE OF LIES...
Everyone has something to hide
A missing private investigator is found, locked in a car hidden deep in the woods. Worse still - both for his family and the police - is that his body was in an area that had already been searched.
Everyone has secrets
Detective Inspector Siobhan Clarke is part of a new inquiry, combing through the mistakes of the original case. There were always suspicions over how the investigation was handled and now - after a decade without answers - it's time for the truth.
Nobody is innocent
Every officer involved must be questioned, and it seems everyone on the case has something to hide, and everything to lose. But there is one man who knows where the trail may lead - and that it could be the end of him: John Rebus.

"Grips from the first sentence. No one in Britain writes better crime novels today."
EVENING STANDARD
"There's no one like Ian Rankin for bringing us right into the world of detectives. In A House of Lies is a must-read."
TANA FRENCH
"Thrillingly told, with the best cast in contemporary crime, Rankin is one of the most significant social commentators of our time. Just read the book. It says it better than I can."
DENISE MINA
"Rankin remains the most consistent practitioner of finely crafted, richly detailed, literary crime novels being produced today. He's always been at the top of his game, and this latest is no exception."
LINWOOD BARCLAY
"A first-rate crime novel: tense, twisty and often very funny. A real joy - Rebus still makes sparks fly."
ELLY GRIFFITHS
"Definitely not to be missed. Rankin's at the top of his form here, and no reader will go away disappointed."

Great story, great characters, great delivery. You simply can't go past the Rankin/Macpherson team, pure class.

He’s still got it!
It’s fantastic to see that both Rebus AND Rankin can produce the goods. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. A book with turns and twists but all of them very plausible. I liked that the secondary characters are being developed but that Rebus is still....... Rebus.
Great stuff!!

Classic Rebus
So good to be back beside Rebus. Love the Scottish accent, the dry humour and a suitably challenging plot.

Humdrum
Not a page-turner but a good average police story. l may try another Rebus novel in future but I won't rush into it.

Good Story.
It is some time since I listened to some of Ian's book. Forgot how good his writing is. I enjoyed this story with the plots and twists. good narration.

Superb entertainment!
With first class narration from James Macpherson this Rebus adventure fairly crackles along. Excellent entrainment from first page to last.

One of the best
Rankin is always a delight to read, well structured story, beautifully written and with the very flawed Rebus being as sharp and devious as ever.
Narration with a soft Scottish lilt makes this eminently listenable,

Hard to finish and disappointing
Sad to say I didn’t enjoy this book.
The story was bland - certainly not a page turner - and I struggled to finish it.
This wasn’t helped by the reader as it was hard to differentiate between the characters as they all sounded the same. I had to really listen to hear a name and then work out who said what!
Disappointing as I’m an Ian Rankin fan and I can’t recommend this audio book.
