Flesh House May 13, 2008
It'll take me a little time to look at pork the same way as before. Fantastic read with bursts of dark humour. Great character development with a twist in the tail. The author's best yet.

It put me right off my crispy pancakes - a bloody good read May 13, 2008
Logan McRae and co are thrown in to their most gruesome case yet in this fourth outing from Stuart MacBride.

MacBride puts one of his main characters through it on this one, when an old case comes back to haunt the officer.

Good to see him keep the series fresh, whilst keeping it very much a series - quite a difficult thing to carry off, but the author delivers. The humour is less prevalent than `Dying Light', which is the last one I read, but it still there. And the newspaper cuttings are inspired, offering a comic chorus to the action.

Thoroughly entertaining, tense and genuinely scary, the book keeps you guessing until the end. The books are getting better and better.

I said it in my earlier reviews of Stuart MacBride's stories that I didn't fancy living in Aberdeen. If there were any remaining doubts in my mind about such a view, this book dispels them all.

The body count is huge, the pychos on the loose seem to gravitate to Aberdeen and Logan McRae, as ever, brings some relative calm to the investigation - in his own way, of course! DI Steele seems to be assuming more of a role in MacBride's books, probably because DI Insch was always going to burst - one way or another.

As an aside, I thought the inclusion of the pseudo reprints of the local paper were an interesting addition, though I'm a little worried that I thought I'd recognized one of the murderers depicted!!

As before, this is a gripping read; a book which is more convoluted than the earlier ones (and longer, I think). I really enjoyed the development of the characters and, certainly, the author is more confident compared to the first story. Aberdeen in the summer for his next novel? Will we notice? Probably not! But I can hardly wait.

This book is brilliant I thought his others were good but Stuart keeps getting better. They are dark and have a wry sense of humour running through them just follow some of the dialogue closely. The crime scene needs someting new and this is it, I have always been a big fan of Ian Rankin since he was the new kid on the block and if Stuart keeps producing books like this I think he will be as big as Ian Rankin, I realise that they are differwent style of writers but these bools bring something new to the genre as Ian Rankin did in his early days. A warning dont start reading this after you come home from work you will be up until 3 in the morning and then you will have nightmares

Another great book from Mr MacBride.
Fantastic characters (DI Steele really is a stroke of genius) and another gruesome plot full of energy, twists and suspense make for such an enjoyable, albeit grim read.
Mr MacBrides' black humour will have you laughing in places where you'd least expect to and his expert story telling will take you to places you really don't want to go. Like Aberdeen. Ha ha.
This is the fourth in a highly entertaining crime series. Read this book and be introduced to a whole new world of brilliant characters. Some you'll love, some you'll hate and some who get everything they deserve!
Thanks, Stuart!
