Just finished the latest Rebus Song for the Dark Times. OK but didn't change my view that the Rebus series is past its prime. It must be tough when, as in some other series like Bosch, your main protagonist is well past retirement age. Daughter Samantha is now in her forties, which I think makes Clarke going on 50 and still stuck as a passed-over DI despite her role in many high-profile solves. OTOH, as a DI, Clarke could take over the lead role from Rebus and still plausibly spend her time on detective work rather than the administrative drudgery a higher rank would involve. I hope that's where we're headed...
