About this listen
One down…
A dark night in the isolated Scottish countryside. Nicholas Wilson, a prominent professor known for his divisive social media rants, leaves the house with his dog, as he does every night. But this time he doesn’t come back…
Two down…
The last thing Inspector Logan McRae wants is to take on such a high-profile case. But when a second man vanishes in similar circumstances, the media turns its merciless gaze on him, and he has no choice.
Who’s next?
Then body parts start arriving in the post. Someone out there is trying to make a point, and they’re making it in blood.
A bit overdone

Cold Granite, the first Logan McRae novel, was held under my nose by an elderly man in a library many years ago. He asked me if I liked crime novels and when I said yes, he thrust the paperback into my hand and said ‘read this’! How could I refuse?
I consumed that book in less than 24 hours and an addiction was born. At one stage I found audiobooks and was thrilled to see all of the Logan McRae series on audio and I have listened, enthralled and not a little nauseated, to all Logan’s horrifying adventures, narrated mostly by Steve Worsley, but some of the earlier works were narrated by others. If I remember correctly, I think Stuart MacBride narrated one himself.
These books are more than a little gruesome and I constantly shake my head at Stuart’s ability to come up with the horrifying scenarios he presents the reader with.
Logan is a constant bright light throughout but his life is very far from being a bed of roses. Roberta Steele, his crusty, gruff lesbian sidekick, while adding a lot of comic relief, is also an instinctive police officer who all the while manages to break almost every rule in the book and does it to the accompaniment of some of the choicest epithets and sexual innuendo you are ever likely to read (or in the case of the audio versions, hear).
I love Steve Worsley’s narration, but that might have something to do with my Scottish ancestry—I love a good Scottish burr (as well as bagpipes) and Steve does them all really well. I read another review for All That’s Dead and the reviewer awarded only one star and cited—in his/her eyes—that Steve’s efforts at a New Zealander accent were appalling. The character with the New Zealander accent is present for what is probably less than a dozen times throughout the book and to my unNew Zealander appreciation of the accent—from an Australian’s POV but whose son’s partner is a New Zealander—it didn’t sound so very appalling to me. I have heard Steve do Australian accents and have been far from offended, because for me, the story is the all important thing.
Please don’t ignore this book because of that review, because you will not be disappointed (perhaps a little green around the gills with the gruesomeness). If you love Scotland and a good police procedural, then read/listen to this and the whole of the Logan McRae series.
Another Logan McRae winner.

ANOTHER GREAT LISTEN FROM AUDIBLE

Fantastic narration by Steve Worsley brings the characters to life. I’ve listened to these books to the point I feel I know these characters and I can picture what they look like.
