Close to the Bone

I loved this book - my favourite Logan McRae so far. It had me hooked. Stuart MacBride is totally into his stride with some of his best description yet. I don't care that it's far-fetched because it's a great listen and the narrator has his north-east accents down to a T. I may be biased as I'm originally from Aberdeen. Perhaps this is my guilty pleasure!

A good laugh and a good listen. Always awaiting the next Logan McCrae instalment. A different kind of crime novel, but I love it

It is quite unusual for excellent plots to combined with in-depth characterisation. Stuart Macbride manages both with great style.

DI Steele is one of the great grotesques of literature - I love her! The interactions between her and poor Logan are laugh-out-loud, and getting even more sadistic. Not to mention bio-hazard Bob.

Not wishing to give the plot away - Stuart keeps that cliff hanging. No way we can NOT buy the next book.

Good narrator, but not as good as when Stuart reads his own books.

Really enjoyed the book and have listened to it 3 times. Great characters and patter What's next for Logan and Steel? Cant wait for the next installment.

...great fun to listen to - he's a gem when it comes to detective novels - I've loved them all, this is no exception...

I've read several of the Stuart Mcbride novels, but this is my first audio version, and I must say the reading enhanced the experience. Steve Worsley's narration is excellent and adds to the story, he is especially good at regional Scottish accents.



I thought this story was well written and well paced, and the characters continue to develop and mature, although Inspector Steel is possibly becoming even more of a caricature than in previous novels. Great plot, one or two nice twists, kept me interested to the end. I would recommend reading these in the right order as otherwise some things will be inexplicable.

I really enjoyed this book, I'm a great McRae fan, and I thought it was well read. The characters are very convincing - I'm a forensic psychologist, and I know Aberdeen so the book was a real connection for me. The best reading of a Stuart MacBride audio-book was done by John Sessions, whose various accents were superb but Steve Worsley comes a close second.

I gave up with this book. I found the police characters and their methods of operation very unrealistic. The story had potential but overall it didn't work for me.

I dont know if this book was supposed to be so funny, but it made me laugh out loud on many occassions. An enjoyable listen!

just not getting on with the narrator. Listened to about 2hrs and I cant tell you anything about it!
