review 1: There is already a comprehensive synopsis available on this book. The author has again delivered an intricate and convoluted story involving The Flesher. As with previous books there are several investigations running concurrently for DI McRae and the other officers at Grampion P...

review 1: Stage 3 of my re-read of Stuart MacBride and though I remembered a lot of the plot of Flesh House from my reading at the time of initial publication, I had forgotten just how gory and grisly it is. Definitely not for the easily upset and definitely in the mould of Stephen King an...

review 1: This was an excellent crime novel. I loved almost everything about it from the darkly humorous writing style to the characters and the setting, all elements which are well balanced and interesting. The plot is original and intricate enough to keep the reader guessing, and is a...

review 1: CLOSE TO THE BONE. (2013). Stuart Macbride. ***.This is only the second book by this author I’ve read, the other being the first in this series featuring his police officer protagonist Logan McRae. This is the eighth in the series. What becomes immediately apparent is that t...

review 1: Not my favourite DS Logan book I'm afraid. As with all in this series so far, the subject matter is bleak and depressing, not helped by the seasonal wintry weather in Aberdeen, but I can put up with that. I think this time, I found the plot quite confusing. There were lots of li...

review 1: This was the only book of the Logan McRae I hadn’t read and is now the only one I have in a paper copy (the rest being on the iPad) but after doing a Masterclass with the author I felt I needed a signed copy. The Master class was on research for crime fiction, a topic he had been...

review 1: So disappointed, loved the earlier books but this seems written to shock it is macabre, ghoulish and gruesome. It is a shame because the character of Logan McRae was an inspirational creation but loses credibility in this book. The author is able to inject humour into the most di...

review 1: Love the Logan McRae books and all the inept characters who reside therein. Love the ringtones (DS Rennie - "If I only had a brain"). Love the way they all have overlapping conversations with each other but never listen to what the other is saying. Love the way Logan keeps gettin...

review 1: Another fantastic McRae thriller...lots of dark twisted humour and lots of gore. A slightly slower pace to the first half as the kidnapping of Britain's next big thing happens, but the second half is a real roller coaster, with drama happening which ever way you look. I got a lit...
