Product Description

Review
'Fierce, unflinching and shot through with the blackest of humour; this is crime fiction of the highest order by a writer whose dark star is most definitely on the rise.' Mark Billingham 'If you're looking for taut narrative, gut-churning incident, strong characterisation, all shot through with savagely dark humour, then look no further' Reginald Hill Praise for 'Dying Light': 'Another brilliant, riveting police procedural from the new kid on the block. I'm green with envy!' R D Wingfield Praise for 'Cold Granite': 'Ferocious and funny, this is Tartan Noir at its best.' Val McDermid 'A riveting and gruesome debut.' Telegraph 'This intelligent, exciting police procedural should make the leading writers of the genre start looking over their shoulders.' Sunday Telegraph 'Stuart MacBride goes straight for the jugular with a tight, thrilling novel.' Glasgow Herald 'An impressive debut ! an edge-of-your-seat page-turner.' Publishers Weekly 'A cracking new writer on the crime scene who hooks you from the first page and never lets you go. The action is ferocious and the pace unrelenting.' Northern Echo Praise for Cold Granite: 'MacBride is a confident writer ! does a good line in black humour and has a nose for the macabre. A promising debut' Scotsman --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Raintown, 8 Jun 2007
By Ian Paterson "exiledscotsman" (Newcastle Uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Broken Skin (Hardcover)
No doubt about it Stuart MacBride is here to stay. Broken Skin is the third in the series of DS Logan "Lazarus" McRae set in Aberdeen
Having read the first two novels Cold Granite and Dying Light I was looking forward to this and it doesn't disappoint. I do think though with so many characters and back stories from the previous books, that newcomers to MacBride would benefit enormously from reading the books in sequence.
Like other reviewers have mentioned the best character is the chain smoking DI Steel and after her being a minor role in the first book she is now front and centre with Logan and this book is better for that.

As usual their isn't just one case to solve, a serial rapist and a murder that looks like BDSM gone wrong or is it ? Easy to get sucked into this book after only a couple of chapters after 60 pages I couldn't believe how much had already happened. I think there's enough plot and twists that at no point did I feel the story slowed down.

No question in my mind that we will see Logan on our TV screens very soon mind you who ever decides to film it is going to have to buy a huge rain machine.

With Rebus due to retire next year MacBride has surely created his successor

5.0 out of 5 stars Crime Fiction At Its Very Best, 9 Jul 2007
By Leigh Straw (Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Broken Skin (Hardcover)
Having read Stuart MacBride's two previous McRae novels I eagerly expected the release of this latest addition and was not disappointed. Initially I was sceptical in that the book blurb mentioned rape cases as the basis of this book and I was not sure if I wanted to read just about this. But the most impressive part of MacBride's writing is his ability to weave together different cases so that the plot is neither static nor uninteresting. The ruggedness and reality of the writing only makes the cases more interesting and plausible. McRae is certainly the closest character in Scottish crime fiction to rival Rankin's Rebus books. An excellent read. I can't wait for the next one!
