Book Nook: 'Midnight and Blue' by Ian Rankin

a book cover with a picture of a streetlight and the title is midnight and blue
Contributed

This is my ninth interview with Ian Rankin. He is one of our greatest living crime fiction writers. He's also one of the nicest guys I know. The new book is fantastic. I hope he writes some more. But if he doesn't then he's going out on the highest of notes. And since we are talking Rankin and Rebus, this one is the most lovely of musical notes. Those guys sure know their music.

The Book Nook on WYSO is presented by the Greene County Public Library with additional support from Washington-Centerville Public LibraryClark County Public LibraryDayton Metro LibraryWright Memorial Public Library, and Tipp City Public.
