Book review...Doors Open

I only learnt to drive about a year and a half ago, and have yet to own my first car so I have always had a close relationship with public transport! Currently living in the middle of London and working in Kent, my closest friend at the moment is the 7:08 to Tunbridge Wells so I spend an awful lot of time reading - meaning I always need a good book in my bag so I don't need to succumb to the celebrity pages of the Metro!

I just finished 'Doors Open' by Ian Rankin - one of Jimmy's that he hasn't yet read from Christmas.
It was probably different to what I would normally read, but I'm broaden my reading horizons a little bit lately and have been trying out lots of different genres and authors.

Doors Open is a crime novel I suppose, but with a bit of a twist in the sense that the main characters hatch a plan to 'liberate' some priceless artworks that are being stored away from public view.

The book has quite a few twists and turns, and although a lot of people may see the ending coming it took me a while! There's some very interesting characters, and the story is easy to read - a bonus for early mornings! It's also set in Edinburgh, and having visited a few years ago it was good fun remembering the landmarks that the characters visited.

ITV made a tv movie of the book which showed over Christmas, so I'm now looking forward to watching Steven Fry's portrayal of the art school professor!
