Is it? Or is it part of some brilliant, yet devious plot to make us think that she's not writing a detective novel?
The plot thickens like... like... something that does a lot of thickening!
That Rankin is a savvy media manipulator, is he not? Of course, his legion of defenders will find this one more excuse to bash the media.

"There were 600 people in the audience, and only one person didn't laugh," he added.
Looks like Rankin has already started the media bashing himself.

I was at the event. It was a joke, Peter. Clearly. Rankin was laughing about it, the chair was laughing, the audience were laughing. How anyone could honestly think it wasn't a joke is beyond my comprehension. Rankin followed up his comment by saying the title of his next novel was "Inspector Rebus And The Deathly Hallows" and stating that there was no copyright on titles. I'm surprised that wasn't picked up on either.
