Excellent

I found this follow on to book 1 extremly griping and could not stop and had to finish it. It is so well written and narrated that you feel like giving DS McRae a kick up the bum.

Great, but...

I've always enjoyed these books. If there is one place these books have put me off visiting, it's the cities of Scotland. The description of the coldness, the wet, the grayness and granite of these places sets such a brilliant environment for the storie and the characters. This was a great story with so many threads however I thought it ended too abruptly, almost as if our author just wanted to tie it all up and submit...

Stronger on crime than many other tartan noir books

Was a good read, and not all was predictable. But as with his previous one is just such an unnecessarily slow start. I'm 4hrs in and almost nothing has happened. I like the writing style and don't mind a long book, but it's such a turn off when there's a solid 5hr chunk that could've been told on a couple of pages! I've been forcing myself to push through for the past hour, but it's all just been women that are described as filth, the DI just as repulsive as the other women, and it's such a drag
The editor really needed to get rid of the 100 side characters and telling the story of each one. like I don't care what accent some random cop has he's never going to see again. its just I prefer to skip the unnecessary descriptions on every single character they come across.
I don't think I'm going to finish the book. I like his writing and I don't mind the central character so i may give the next book a go sometime.

Side note: why are all the male tartan noir authors hopeless at female characters?! They just use the stunning perfectionist vs the absolute slob and ugly and no man would ever want them. The way they fall back on stereotypes is so weak. and there's no character development. They've the same personality etc from start of the series to the end. DS Vicki Dodd is the only one i can think of that was remotely trueto life and not a caricature..

Twists and turns throughout

If you like blood and guts, don't mind profanities and enjoy a crime thriller this is a book for you. This is the second Logan Mc Crea story I have listened to and I will definitely be buying another.
