Narration To Books Let It Bleed (Inspector Rebus #7)

In the dark days and biting windstorms of an Edinburgh winter, two drop-out kids dive off the towering Forth Road Bridge. A civic office is spattered by a grisly gun-blast. Two suicides and a murder that just don't add up, unless John Rebus can crunch the numbers. Following a trail that snakes through stark alleys and sad bars, shredded files and lacerated lives, Rebus finds himself up against an airtight, murderous conglomerate on the make in every arena of power. It's leeching the life and soul out of his city and, if it can, him too...

Rate Appertaining To Books Let It Bleed (Inspector Rebus #7)

I don't usually give five stars to a mystery/police procedural/thriller, unless it has social issue significance. This does, even if that is not the main point. Rankin contrasts corruption at the highest levels in Edinburgh with poverty, unemployment, drug dependency and seeming hopelessness, the latter of which he deals with rather clearly and bluntly. One of the blurbs on the back cover refers to this as "Perhaps the best Inspector Rebus tale." This is absolutely true, for those I've read.

The 7th Inspector Rebus novel starts with a bang - literally!From then on John Rebus is drawn into a strange web of apparently unconnected acts, that eventually leads him to corruption in very high places.A good, solid, Rebus read. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

You know, the more I read of Ian Rankin's John Rebus series, the more I like its star. 'Let it Bleed' is one of the earlier entries (1996) but Rebus is pretty much Rebus through the years. He's a workhorse, totally consumed by the job (he's a detective in Edinburgh, Scotland), with more issues and personal problems than most could take. He's also extremely effective.Let it Bleed begins with a car chase that ends in a dual suicide. Something doesn't look right to Rebus. so he begins to poke

Detective John Rebus takes on the establishment (the crooked one, that is) and manages to come out on top.

As mentioned in the review of "Doors Open", Ian's writing is not one I would normally like to read.It has weak female characters, and often includes unnecessary information, making the book longer than it is required to be. Felt the writing to be very lazy.Never reading one of his books again.

★ ★ ★ ★ 1/2 (rounded up)This originally appeared at The Irresponsible Reader.--- He stood there shivering after the warmth of the pub and his car. He was a few yards from where the boys had jumped. The area was cordoned off with metal barriers, anchored by sandbags. Two yellow metal lamps marked off the danger area. Someone had climbed over the barriers and laid a small wreath next to the broken rail, weighing it down with a rock so it wouldnt be blown away. He looked up at the nearest of the

I love Rebus but coming to him late I never read the books in order. Up until now this hasn't been a problem but this book lost me and the ending came far too soon and it felt like Rankin had got himself too tied up in the politics and couldn't find a way out. I will read more Rebus books but if we could try to stop him from either saving or bringing down the whole of Scotland and just have him chasing a good old fashioned serial killer they would be nice.
