On the eve of Chief Superintendent Isobel McArthur’s 30th anniversary with the Scottish police force, she finds herself thinking about another anniversary: 25 years ago, she arrested notorious serial killer Alfred Chalmers, and the case has always occupied significant mental real estate. Now she’s revisiting the case, but what cost will this decision have? The play itself was pretty good, and it was probably even more interesting on the stage, with the revolving set and the lighting effects. A nice touch was including photographs from the original stage production. Was pleased to see Sara Vickers as the original Alexandra—I love her as Joan Thursday in “Endeavour”! The story itself was fast-paced, maybe a touch too fast because all of the internal dialogue you’d expect from a novel is not shown here. A challenge indeed. I’d give the play itself 3 stars, and an extra half-star for the supplemental material included with this edition of the book: interviews and notes about the process of bringing the play to the stage, and the differences between working alone as an author and as part of a team on a stage production. The actual reading of the play was visually pleasing, because I love “Ian Rankin font”! I liked it for what it was, although I’ll probably still prefer his novels. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
First performed at Edinburgh's Royal Lyceum Theatre, the first stage play from the SUNDAY TIMES No.1 bestselling author of A SONG FOR THE DARK TIMES It's been 25 years since Alfred Chalmers was convicted of the gruesome murder of four young women in Edinburgh. Isobel McArthur, Scotland's first Chief Constable, was the woman responsible for putting him behind bars, but the case has haunted her ever since. Now, with her retirement approaching, McArthur decides the time has come for answers. To uncover the truth, she revisits the case and interviews Chalmers for the first time in decades. But her decision rips opens old wounds and McArthur is soon caught up in a web of corruption, psychological mind-games and deceit that threatens not only her own life, but those of her fellow officers and even her own daughter. Tense, gritty and hard-hitting, DARK ROAD is the first ever stage play from bestselling crime writer Ian Rankin, co-written by the Royal Lyceum's Artistic Director Mark Thomson.

Also, I've got to stop marking my books as currently reading the minute I bring them home from the library. This was an afternoon read, not a 9 day read. ( )
