I've never read any of irvine welsh's work!
Some of it is good; like the obvious - Trainspotting.
Scottishbookworm, have you got Sky Digitial? Rebus the TV series is going to be on all week, at 9pm/10pm! They also showed a documentry about Ian Rankin on Monday night. It might be repeated, so watch out for it.

Cool.
Read Irvine Welsh's new novel, 'Crime', it's really good.

My favourite fictional detectives are Morse and Dalgliesh but I have just recently started to read some of Deborah Crombie's books and am liking her detective, Duncan Kincaid, too.
Definitely Morse, Green Fairy; I haven't read any Colin Dexter, but I did get some audio tapes from the library last Summer, narrated by the actor who plays Lewis.
They're so good - it sounds like Morse and everything.
You can watch an episode of Morse starring Sean Bean on Youtube.
we all are heather that there's going to be no more rebus novels!Hi Scottishbookworm
You're a Rebus fan too, that's cool.
I remember reading Knots and Crosses when I was about fourteen, and I rented it out from the school library. My Nan got a bit, shall we say, worried about me reading his novels because I was fourteen and they were adult books.
Anyway, I sent an email to Ian Rankin asking what he thought.
Lol. He replied in his newsletter and said books are all part of growing up, and he read A Clockwork Orange when he was twelve!
Do you like books by Irvine Welsh? He's good too.

John Rebus and Alan Banks without a doubt.
Hi,Another Rebus fan here... and upset to hear that he is not going to be the lead character in any further Rankin novels. I love his cynicism which sadly wasn`t really portrayed in the television adaptations.

Hi Heather
I'm sad Rankin has "finished" his saga of Rebus too; but I've heard rumours of a sequel, and that Siobhan Clarke is taking over as the lead character.
I also read on Wikipedia that the Dramatizations this year have been axed because Ken Stott doesn't want to play the role of Rebus.

I've read a few of his, and I thought the main character - I forget his name now .. Cooper was it? Was very sweet.

Peter Robinson is one of the best UK Crime Authors around; it's real to the bone. If you haven't yet, read Wednesdays Child.
I went to a book signing on Monday, and got his new novel signed.
It's called All The Colours of Darkness.

I'm so glad I met him, he's a lovely man.
I really want to meet Ian Rankin as well.
