About this product
Product Information
A shooting incident at a private school just north of Edinburgh. Two seventeen-year olds killed by an ex-Army loner who has gone off the rails. As Detective Inspector John Rebus puts it, 'there's no mystery'... except the why. But this question takes Rebus into the heart of a shattered community.

Reviews
'Rankin at his raw-edged, page-turning best. Plot strands expertly twist around each other, puzzles are puzzling and the Edinburgh/South Queensferry locations are as real and atmospheric as it gets. With Rankin you can practically smell the fag-smoke and whisky fumes', 'Ian Rankin's John Rebus...is a flawed but very human creation, and his Edinburgh and its inhabitants beautifully drawn and utterly real', Successful launch at Edinburgh Book Fest. Ian spoke at the WHS party and wrote piece in NEW STATESMAN. Other Fest coverage: DAILY TELEGRAPH interview; highlights in GLASGOW HERALD and THE OBSERVER; THE SCOTSMAN and SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY reported charity short story; GLASGOW HERALD and OK! pieces.Ian wrote feature on the festival for NEW STATESMAN, the GUARDIAN quiz and piece for WATERSTONES GIFT GUIDE.He was on BBC2 Newsnight Review and interviewed on BBC NEWS 24 Booktalk, SCOTTISH TV 7 Days, BBC BREAKFAST and RELAXWITHABOOK reedited interview for Alpha List.Ian wrote R4 Today essay and was interviewed on R4 FRONT ROW, R5 NICK PINARD, RTE RATTLEBAG, LBC ANGELA RIPPON, BBC LONDON LIVE, BFBS, BBC LOOK NORTH, BBC RADIO LINCS, RADIO WALES PHIL THE SHELF, BBC RADIO NOTTS and MANX RADIO. He read an extract for R3 and R4 SATURDAY REVIEW reviewed.Full page profile in THE SCOTSMAN, cover and interview in EH (Edinburgh magazine), major interview in ABERDEEN PRESS & JOURNAL plus interviews in IRISH INDEP, Where I'd Rather Be in DAILY MAIL 'WEEKEND', THE INDEPENDENT 'My Top 10', SUNDAY TIMES Home, WRITING MAGAZINE, WRITERS NEWS, IRISH EXAMINER, CROWN PROSECUTION SERVICE MAG, SOLDIER, FORTNIGHT, NOTT EVE POS, LINCOLN CHRONICLE and LINCS ECHO.Further Christmas roundup reviews in HAM AND HIGH, KENT MESSENGER GROUP, MANCHESTER EVE NEWSVisitScotland.com ran first chapter along with competition.THE OBSERVER chose QoB for Summer Reading Roundup and GLASGOW SUNDAY HERALD as one of the best books of 2003. Other reviews in INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY, DAILY TELEGRAPH, MORNING STAR, GLASGOW EVE TIMES, OXFORD TIMES, CAMBRIDGESHIRE JOURNAL, NORFOLK JOURNAL, SUFFOLK JOURNAL, WOMAN&HOME, HOME & COUNTRY, ESSEX MAG, PETERBOROUGH TEL, BRIGHTON EVE ARGUS, LOWESTOFT JOURNAL, CHOICE, CALEDONIA and BIRM POST 'Still at the top of his game and way ahead of the nearest opposition' Mike RipleyBOOKS IN THE MEDIA ran piece on the WHSmith's People's Choice Awards shortlist., 'Recent crime writers...have at their disposal all the opening for alienation afforded by the modern world - and, if one of them has to be singled out as being especially attuned to contemporary murder and social malaise, it is Ian Rankin', 'Exemplifies the enhanced craftmanship of the author's recent work; the sheer number of handicaps Rebus overcomes and of the puzzles he solves evinces a relishable virtuosity', 'Retiring the DI would be a risk, but this 16th Rebus suggests that, while readers wouldn't push him, Rankin could survive that jump', 'Rankin is an astute social commentator and, as here, serious observation is often at its most effective when it comes in the form of exciting entertainment', 'Nobody is better than Rankin at creating a diversion or leading readers astray only to abandon them in a cul-de-sac', 'As his best, few writers can match him for imaginative, multi-layered plots....he has returned to form with a novel of startling depth...In a genre where murder is the norm, it is a testament to Rankin's talent that he succeeds in making death seem as incongruous and painful as it does in real life', 'Seamlessly plotted, effortlessly compelling read. Rankin is in total command of his idiom. Rebus himself may be showing signs of burn-out and disaffection with conventional police procedure, but there is no indication that the series is running out of steam', 'A rich absorbing narrative in which the focus is not on who did it - that we know - but why. Artful, moving and entertaining', 'Skilfully composed and powerfully written, with a vein of compassion that Rankin taps to startling and justified effect', 'The real strength of Rankin's work...- is that it's a good deal more than a crime novel. The genre is simply the wrapping in which a complex story of human flaws and frailty is contained...Fortunately, A Question of Blood is just about as good as Rankin gets. As a crime novel, it stands favourable comparison with almost anything else currently being written in - or out of - the genre. Detective Inspector Rebus, I suspect, has a way to go yet', 'He is an addictive writer, which accounts for his immense popularity, but he is also a serious and disturbing one...What he does after Rebus is an interesting question. To track back and offer us some of Rebus's earlier cases would be to reduce the novels to mere entertainment, hugely popular no doubt but a betrayal of his remarkable talent', 'This latest story crackles with tension, energy and suspense. And it's a credit to Rankin's writing that despite our familiarity with the detective inspector, it is quite believable that Rebus is capable of committing a violent crime to protect a friend'
