Commentary During 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.

Assessment Out Of Books Let It Bleed (Inspector Rebus #7)

Oh Rebus, you are at your incorrigible but "hearts in the right place" best in this one; a thoroughly enjoyable read. I love the mystery of the two, seemingly unrelated suicides you attempted to solve and the dirt, intrigue and corruption you dug up along the way. I love how you are trying, not very effectively, mind you, to build that relationship with your daughter, how you supported and empathized with a drug-addicted teenager, how you even somehow enlisted the assistance of the odious Flower

3.5 Stars

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

I have not read all the Rebus books and one benefit of coming to them late is to have included the informative "welcome" to the book written by the author years later with his insights and reflections on the development of the character Rebus.This particular book opens with a rather spectacular and cinematic car chase. Rebus had warned his boss to buckle his seatbelt without success, so when the crash of their car occurred Lauderdale was badly injured. Rebus forged ahead toward the object of the

A decent, hard-boiled Rebus. Decent, hard-boiled Edinburgh.Yet I can't pinpoint why it took over a week for me to finish the book. No likable or fascinating characters (other than Rebus)? As if that would stop me. Corruption? Not a stopper but a requirement. Too dark? Definitely not. Maybe the wrong kind of dark and noir; depressed noir rather than action noir, and too many teenaged junkies and not enough other sinister characters. Plus something else missing that I can't pinpoint yet.

Not sure why I waited 5 years between #6 "Mortal Causes" and this one, but I definitely missed the sometimes inebriated Scottish detective. The story starts with a car chase, morphs into a double suicide, then into a huge conspiracy reaching into the stratosphere of the government.

This is number 7 in the John Rebus series. I read a couple of Rankin's books, and then decided to go back and read them in order. It is not really necessary in terms of the story lines but you get a better appreciation of the characters involved. And John is one rough character. A melancholy, cynical and streetwise detective, he continues his destructive behavior, living on cigarettes, booze and bacon buns, ignoring his need for dental work and ambushing his attempts at personal relationships.
