5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Stuff, 10 Feb 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Blood Hunt: A Jack Harvey Novel (Paperback)

It's great to know that Rankin's talents aren't just restricted to writing about Rebus.

The Jack Harvey books are a completely different style, and equally enjoyable. His writing is first class, sometimes stopping me in my tracks with a brilliant sentence.

His Jack Harvey novels are very good reads, maybe not qutie as good as Rebus, but still very enjoyable. Blood Hunt is probably the best one, although i have enjoyed all three very much.

It was very interesting to learn more about Gordon Reeve (who some readers might remember as being the killer from Knots and Crosses). However, if you are to read this, you must forget the events of Knots and Crosses, and with this book they have been completely forgotten, and Rankin instead builds upon Reeve's character. It builds a nice parrallell universe of "what if". What if Knots and Crosses had never happened? How would Gordon Reeve be?

Anyway, all in all a very good book. One of Rankin's best.

4.0 out of 5 stars Conspiracy Theory meets Steven Seagal, 19 Jan 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Blood Hunt: A Jack Harvey Novel (Paperback)

The basic plot of the book is that an ex-SAS soldier goes to America to pay respects to his brother, who supposedly committed suicide. Only, all is not what it seems. With large, corporate companies, police officers and PI agencies on his tail, the main character, Gordon Reeve, is in a race against time to find out what really happened to his brother, because it soon becomes clear that suicide was not the cause of his brother's death.

A brilliant story, intracately woven with twists and turns, leaving you on the edge of seat. Action & Mystery - Ian Rankin's best book yet.

4.0 out of 5 stars Blood Hunt: A Jack Harvey Novel, 15 Nov 2003

stephen born (harold wood, essex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Blood Hunt: A Jack Harvey Novel (Paperback)

Fast paced, exciting - a book you just can't put down once you start it.
My only slight critisiscm is that some of the military technicalities aren't consistent with factual based military books I've read, nonetheless definately recommended.
