\"\"<\/a>I’d put off reading Exit Music<\/em>, the last Rebus book, for several months. Because it is the last Rebus book, and I wasn’t ready for it yet.<\/p>\n

Rebus, of course, ends his story the way he began it: stubborn, contrary, and in trouble.<\/p>\n

A Russian poet is found dead, and it looks like Rebus’ last case might have political implications, so no one higher up really wants Rebus leading the case, what with his propensity for trouble. But he only has three days–how much trouble could he cause in three days?<\/p>\n

Plenty, of course.<\/p>\n

I was quite pleased with the way the series ended. We don’t know what Rebus is going to do but throughout he has remained unchanged–whether it was good for him or not.<\/p>\n

I’m going to miss Rebus.
