Story
The death of a journalist from a single bullet to the heart makes for a dramatic story - but the twist in the tale is that this time, it's the man who fired the gun who's asking all the questions... The assassin, Michael Weston, knows he has carried out his assignment successfully. One mistake was enough, a long time ago, when a young girl had accidentally received the fatal bullet. Her father hired a PI named Hoffer to track him down. Every time Weston completed a job, Hoffer was not far behind.

His job is to watch and to listen, then to report back to his superiors, nothing more. The job, affording glimpses into the most private lives of his victims, appeals to Miles. He doesn't lust after promotion, and he doesn't want action.

It looks like his nemesis is back...

Detailed and absorbing
if you are looking for Rebus then you will be disapoiinted. if you are looking for a good read in the boys adventure style then this is it it is a book that unfolds at its own pace and will not be hurried. Gordon Reeve is a damaged man driven by his pink mist of rage and trained in deadly skills. all he wants is a quet life. conspracy theroists will love this. Big business as the ultimate corporate baddie and the lone avenger facing deadly foes and his own horrors. This flawed hero deserved more books.

Would you consider the audio edition of Blood Hunt to be better than the print version?
I have not read the print version, but, the audible version keep me engaged for an 11 hour flight and the following taxi ride.
What about Steven Pacey’s performance did you like?

On dear!
Have read so many of his books and this is the first that I've not enjoyed. So formulaic and contrived - can't believe it's by the same man who gives us brilliantly crafted, real, stories. What was he thinking of - an experiment in the outlandish Lee Child genre maybe. Finished the book, cos that's what I do, but definitely wasn't for me.

Tremendous:Another super story from Ian Rankin
Fast paced, the story unfolds and revolves around rumours that circulated in the 70’s and 80’s and still prevail today.Excellent fleshing out of the characters in true Rankin fashion Steven Pacey narration. Is superb a great story that manages to hold the readers attention right to the end.
