 Pretty Good Thriller October 3, 2008
J.Flood (Dublin,Ireland)
A prostitute is found murdered in Aberdeen's Red Light district. When, a few days later, a second body is found in the woods, in the Aberdeen suburbs, it starts to look like a serial killer is on the loose. To make matters worse there is an arsonist at large , torching houses and flats, while the occupants are sleeping inside.
This is the first Stuart MacBride novel that I have read, and I thought that it was pretty good. The storyline is very gritty, and gruesome in places, but kept me interested throughout. The main characters, Logan, Steel etc., came across as quite believable, as they make a few mistakes along the way. Not too sure what the people of Aberdeen make of it all, though, as it makes their city look very crime ridden!
Three and a half stars for this novel, and I'll be sure to check out more books from this author.
 As bad as the first September 3, 2008

After reading Cold Granite I swore I'd never read another Stuart Macbride book as it was just so awful. However having bought that and this at the same time, and my wife being busy with what I had planned to read next, I gave this a go.
I shouldn't have bothered. I thought that maybe, just maybe, we'd learn a little more about Logan McRea - but no. He's still a paper-thin character thoroughly devoid of interest or motivation. We still have sweets mentioned every time we meet Insch and smoking every time we meet Steel. Writing doesn't get much lazier.
The plot is a mishmash of poor planning and sleep-inducing boredom.
Never again! I only gave it 1 star because I couldn't give it zero.
 Best of the four August 26, 2008
Mr. P. Waters (Boston, MA USA)
Awesome twists and turns. Unguessable and really cleverly crafted plot.
DI Steel comes into her own.
Writing this having read the first four Logan books and it's the best, although not by much as they are all great!

Enjoyed Cold Granite tremendously so was looking forwards to reading the next installment. It was another great read I really love the story line and all the characters. Hope this is going to be one of many Logan Mcrae novels.
Good but flawed July 2, 2008

I enjoyed this despite it's faults (and there are several) but read through quickly so can't really give it a 4 or less. It's light reading at it's best.
Several characters are extremely cliched (does every single mention of DI Steele have to include cigarettes and of DI Insch have to include sweets - WE GET IT okay!), repetitive at times (how many times do you have to mention the rubbish and magazines in the car) the swearing did get annoying sometimes and the author is still obsessed with the weather (which is pretty true to the Aberdeen character).
But I still enjoyed the book despite it's flaws - just don't expect it to do more than entertain.
