Publisher's Summary

Aberdeen's growing Polish community is under attack from a serial offender who leaves mutilated victims to be discovered on building sites - eyes gouged out and the sockets burned.

Detective Sergeant Logan McRae is assigned to the investigation, codenamed Operation Oedipus, but with the victims too scared to talk, it's going nowhere fast.

When the next victim turns out to be not a newly arrived Eastern European, but Simon McLeod, owner of the Turf n' Track bookies, Logan suddenly finds himself caught up in a world of drug wars, prostitution rings and gun-running courtesy of Aberdeen's oldest and most vicious crime lord.

Just as good

I was a bit sceptical going into this book due to the change of narrator but quickly became use to Stuart’s narration A solid effort and great job by him.

Storyline was full of twists and turns that keep you interested

Poor old Logan can’t catch a break and I killed myself laughing at inspector Steels last few scenes in this book. Well played 😀😀

Disappointing

Did not enjoy this book as much as the first 5 at $14.95 was disappointing. It was a noisy book to listen too! Hope DI Steel is moved on soon.

Another page turner

I found this book extremely hard for the first couple chapters as his narration isn't as good as the previous books. And I think we get used to knowing what each character sounds like.
I started listening. Gave up. Gave it one star. Then after a week or so tried again. Glad I did as he grew on me and it was another good story.
Looking forward to book number 6!

Awesome

Really enjoying the series. As with most in the genre, a little slow to start and attention to detail needed throughout.

Author narrating his own really did help with the character development, and re-imagining them.

Only suggestion would be to listen at 0.90 as it's a bit too fast compared to the narrator of the prev unabridged versions.

A bit annoying to listen

Author read this one and I found all the different voices extremely annoying. They were all high pitched and seems constant yelling instead of talking. Not the best of the series.

Not as good as the first 4 books

As my title says I didn’t think this book was as good as the first 4 by Stuart MacBride. I found it confusing and difficult to follow unlike the others. The author also narrated this book and I found his style of reading to be distracting almost like a pantomime at times. He reads too quickly compared to Steve Worsley, perhaps one of the reasons this book isn’t a highlight for me.
The story ranges from funny and comical in places to being incredibly gruesome in others.
Bring back Steve Worsley!

over the top

I struggled with this book, over the top, violent and a lot of shouting, it seemed that every character was shouting

Another good read

I wasn’t sure how much I would enjoy this audio book as the previous narrator was superb in bringing each character to life., Stuart’s performance was excellent. Another good story but hope Logan’s luck will change for the better soon.
