Rankin is much better at exploring the murky underbelly! Is it right that you're in Dunedin - I think they have some street names that are the same as Edinburgh there? Joanna Hi Sarah, I’ve just finished reading “One Good Turn” by Kate Atkinson, also set in Edinburgh, although her depiction of the place didn’t really get below the tourist – visitor surface. Rankin is much better at exploring the murky underbelly!

Is it right that you’re in Dunedin – I think they have some street names that are the same as Edinburgh there?

I finished the Ian Rankin detective series of "Rebus", which as you know is situated in Edinburgh. Whenever I read these books I always want to re-visit Edinburgh.
