About this listen
She can’t prove he did it. But she might die trying…
From the Sunday Times No.1 bestselling author of the Logan McRae series, comes a standalone spinoff featuring DS Roberta Steel.
Revenge is a dangerous thing…
Detective Chief Inspector Roberta Steel got caught fitting up Jack Wallace – that’s why they demoted her and quashed his sentence. Now he’s back on the streets and women are being attacked again.
The top brass have made it very clear that if Detective Sergeant Steel goes anywhere near him, she’ll be thrown off the force for good.
But she can’t just do nothing – if she does he’ll keep hurting women. The question is: how much is she willing to sacrifice to stop him?

Where does Now We Are Dead rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Right up there.Any additional comments?
If you like Stuart MacBride you'll love this. If you don't, well try electro-therapy or something. Another gorgeous jolly romp from an author who get's better.No Lazarus this time, it's all about Steel, and what's not to love about her. I did once try to join the police (too blind) but I suspect I would have never have met folk like these, but you can actually imagine a lot of the action could happen in similar outrageous ways.
Look, as said, if you like MacBride you know what he's about and will enjoy this 'instalment' of Police Scotland's finest. You've probably got it already, or will anyway, so why am I wasting my time telling you to?
All delicious loveliness.

Which scene did you most enjoy?
The whole book is filled with lovely little scenes but I am particularly fond of any scene where Steel gets drunk.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I must admit to being moved by the injuries suffered by the bad guys at the end of the book.Any additional comments?
This is a darkly entertaining romp through the tattered remains of Steel's life following her demotion. with her new sidekick and team of dysfunctional detectives, she bumbles her way through solving a number of minor crimes. The larger story revolves around the man she framed and their revenge on each other.I was particularly enchanted by some of the smaller touches. My personal favourite was the 'words of the day' which the officers all used, even in the most stressful of circumstances.
In short I thoroughly recommend the purchasing this title. Not only is it a nice change in pace for Logan fans but it will happily stand alone as a novel to new comers.
