I've read all the Rebus books, except the new one that came out this month. There was a TV programme made featuring the character called, surprisingly, Rebus.
I only saw about 5 minutes of it, but turned it off as soon as I saw the bloke playing Rebus. He was nothing like the book character, which ruined it completely for me.
I also think you're stretching it a bit to compare the Rebus novels to Morese, Insp. Lynley, etc. OK, so he's a policeman, but I think that's where it ends.
See here for more information....
