One has the greatest of forebodings. One wonders if Rankin has actually 
read any of the HP series, not least the ending. Classic crime writing 
it ain't.
Carolyn, grumpily.

'Rankin, who lives close to Rowling in the Merchiston area of the city -
 which is also home to McCall Smith - said her experience of writing 
fantasy adventure would help with crime fiction. "Her process is 
classic crime writing - the set-up, the red herrings, the characters 
who change as they are revealed, the twists and turns, and finally the 
big lineup at the end."
