About this deal

Now let me say straight out the book is filled with a lot of political stuff from different angles, online stuff, the peoples views, zenophobia, hate and they all go hand in hand. A year after being stabbed, McRae is welcomed back to Professional Standards with a case that could be a career killer. I started reading MacBride years ago and fell away when I discovered new authors after reading this it was like putting on an fav blanket and catching up with old friends. This is an extremely complex and gruesome case, but Stuart MacBride always manages to lighten the atmosphere a little with spades full of humour, and some brilliant one liners, especially from DS Roberta Steel. ABOUT THIS BOOK: Inspector Logan McRae was looking forward to a nice simple case – something to ease him back into work after a year off on the sick.

Logan’s injuries are still causing him pain and, (combined with very little sleep), he’s struggling to make sense of events, aware that he’s being blind sided by a world where every spotlight makes the corners where it doesn’t shine, an even darker and deeper threat. From number one bestseller Stuart MacBride comes a thrilling new novel which will keep you on the edge of your seat from the first page to the last. As well as reading the book, I listened to an audio recording (which I paid for myself) narrated by Steve Worsley. And, to top it all Logan is the one set to help out the investigation because the powers to be needs a scapegoat.

MacBride delivers a quite unique style of crime thriller and one I’ve come to love over the past few years in which I’ve read the 12 books. It’s pretty dark and extremely gruesome, but the general atmosphere of humour stops it from ever becoming grim.

I think because the political stuff comes from the angle of their beliefs and we hear the why behind some of it. Inspector Logan McRae was looking forward to a nice simple case – something to ease him back into work after a year off on the sick. His marriage is failing, he is drinking too much and Logan has his work cut out for him if he wants to save King’s career (and his own), and solve this crime: “the scapegoat’s scapegoat had no intention of letting the original-issue scapegoat screw things up and land him in it”. The writing style of MacBride and Mark is different, but not much so as both use (for me at least) the same style – and a lot of Scottish words. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.MacBride's books have always been ambitiously plotted and firmly character-driven … They are only getting richer and more rewarding. My husband is Scottish by birth and we'd always thought that if Scotland did achieve independence we might well move there in the hope that we would, at some point in the not-too-distant future, become European citizens again. Bees bumbled their way between the flowering weeds that lined the drive, hoverflies buzzing amongst the thunderheads, house martins reenacting the Battle of Britain – jinking and swooping and diving, while a clatter of jackdaws looked on from the farmhouse roof. Brutal violence, shocking beliefs, hate and anger mixed with swearing galore - if these guys had a swear box they would be minted, and dark humour.
