A Good Hanging

The city’s atmosphere adds a gritty realism to the mystery. I wonder how much of Edinburgh’s local culture shaped the narrative and tone.

Rebus often walks a fine line between right and wrong, which made me question what I’d do in his position. Was he justified, or did he cross lines too often?

The story kept me guessing without feeling rushed. I’m curious whether the pacing is carefully planned or developed during writing.
