“A Question of Blood” is the first book I’ve read by Rankin. I didn’t like the main character as a person but enjoyed the mystery (on the other hand, I really enjoy the Robert B. Parker dvd series Tom Selleck is producing and that main character is similar to Rebus in many ways).

In a murdery mystery one must always be suspicious when there is a survivor so I wasn’t too surprised at whodunnit…

I found the book to be depressing. One really couldn’t rise above one’s “station” regardless of talent or inclination. The students pretty well knew where they’d end up after graduation.

And I was frequently lost with all the slang and brand names.

But overall the mystery itself was satisfying.”
