A review by mattmatros
Bis aufs Blut by Jack Harvey, Ian Rankin

3.0

As far as action movies disguised as crime novels go, not bad! Could've been a tad more clever, but is redeemed somewhat by the real-world basis of some of the plot points revealed in the Afterword. I don't necessarily recommend this book, but you could do worse if you want to turn your brain off. Features a delightfully over-the-top "American" detective. It's fun to see how the Brits imagine us, especially during the early nineties (read: eighties hangover) free-for-all.
