Ian Rankin's Doors Open is a stand-alone thriller that captures the essence of Edinburgh, with its own character intricately woven into the narrative. The story is fast-paced and engaging, exploring a heist devised by two friends to steal valuable artwork without being detected. While the absence of Inspector Rebus is noted, Rankin's skill in depicting various personalities and the growing mistrust among the gang is widely praised.
