Summary
When her father’s killer, Glen Fallan, is arrested for another murder, PI Jasmine Sharp enters an underworld where violence is a way of life and vengeance spans generations. DS Catherine McLeod has one major Glaswegian gangster in the mortuary and another in the cells for killing him - which ought to be cause for celebration. But this case is far more dangerous than it appears on the surface; deeper than skin, darker than blood.…

Personal Sharp Investigations
This installment of the Sharp Investigations novels brings back the truly personal element for Jasmine and Fallon, and adds in some more personal stories for the other characters we've already encountered as well. I enjoyed this book. when I first read it and the narration is once again spot on making this version highly enjoyable too.

Another excellent Jasmine Sharp story
What made the experience of listening to Flesh Wounds the most enjoyable?
It was another great episode of the Jasmine Sharp world. In typical style Brookmyre weaves a believable Glasgow story with the usual characters. The truth is finally revealed about Jasmine's father as she tries to prove the innocence of her sometime protector and mentor Fallon.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Flesh Wounds?
Probably the dispatch of the arch villain by Jasmine Sharp, horrifyingly icky.
What about Sarah Barron’s performance did you like?
As usual her performance was excellent, she gives life to the characters and the Glasgow turn of phrase is brought to life by her silky Scottish voice.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Revenge of the bams!
Any additional comments?
Brookmyre's work is excellent, I have followed him for many years through many characters. Jasmine Sharp has grown as a character through the three books to a likeable, intelligent and Machiavellian character in true Brookmyre style. In fact the cast of regular characters have all grown into three dimensional people that you can't but fail to care for. If you are looking for a good taste of Glasgae wrapped up in a rip roaring story, this book is for you.

Plot spoiler for Book 1 - thanks Audible!
I am currently listening to the first in the series and, as I was enjoying is so much, decided to look at the next in the series. The first line of the description reveals away a major plot twist in book one, which I hadn't got to yet. AAAARRGGGGHHHH.
I realise that the descriptions on Audible are usually blurbs from the publisher, cut and pasted but for goodness' sake, sort it out!
I want my money back for the previous book. and yes, you probably won't post this but I needed a good moan...

best one yet... yet again
The twists and turns were tightly controlled, keeping me guessing but never correctly. What a treat.

Enjoyable
Would you listen to Flesh Wounds again? Why?
Yes, it has a deep enough plot to warrant a second listen also the narration was enjoyable and well paced
What did you like best about this story?
The interaction of the characters and the buiding of the plot
What does Sarah Barron bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
For me she bought the characters to life and added a local Scottish emphasis to words and phrases I would not consider
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No but not because of it's quality but more to the fact I like to absorb and consider what I have listened to in books like this and try to predict thier path
Any additional comments?
A good book well worth a credit

Utterly brilliant
Wow, what a fantastic story. Couldn't switch it off. Full of twists and turns. As usual, very well narrated. Make sure you read the first 2 novels in the series though for full impact. This is the best audio book I've heard. Can't recommend highly enough.

A plot and a giggle with people you care about.
I really like the way characters are developed, I like the way egalitarianism seeps through every sentence, as well as ribald and deadpan humour.
I love the way that opportunity for social comment is not overlooked in the interest of a film/tv deal; but I would so like Chris Brookmyre's work to make it onto the big screen. They would provide condiment to an otherwise hackneyed and cynical output from an industry that seems to be steered more by spreadsheet than creativity.
Real romance and strong female leads, shocking violence and all delivered by the excellent Sarah Baron.

Enjoyed the story so far.
Got the first book either on a daily deal or some such offer, enjoyed the gritty frame so much I binged the next two straight after. Hope there's more to come
