About this listen

A bestseller from the award-winning Stuart MacBride. The seventh DS Logan McRae thriller is a gripping page-turner in which fame and fortune crash head-on with crime and punishment.

No suspects. No clues. No rest for the wicked.

'You will raise money for the safe return of Alison and Jenny McGregor. If you raise enough money within fourteen days they will be released. If not, Jenny will be killed.'

Aberdeen's own mother-daughter singing sensation are through to the semi-finals of TV smash-hit Britain's Next Big Star. But their reality-TV dream has turned into a real-life nightmare.

The ransom demand appears in all the papers, on the TV, and the internet, telling the nation to dig deep if they want to keep Alison and Jenny alive.

Time is running out, but DS Logan McRae and his colleagues have nothing to go on: the kidnappers haven't left a single piece of forensic evidence and there are no witnesses.

It looks as if the price of fame just got a lot higher…

Once again Stuart McBride takes us on a big dipper of tension, wonderful characters, and humour. This story is not for everyone, but devotees of Logan McCrae will love it. Once again Logan McCrae picks his way through a heap of criminal matters, using his unconventional manner, but often achieving the right result, but not always keeping to the rules. One of my favourite characters is Det. Insp. Steel, a difficult, cantankerous, foul mouthed, yet with a hidden warmth and affection. If you like your books un predictable, then this is for you, however, read the previous books first and in order. Enjoy!!

Great and gripping excitement

Would you listen to Shatter the Bones again? Why?

Yes. It's a fascinating story, with real characters. Macbride pulls you right in and doesn't turn you loose.

What does Steve Worsley bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Steve's phrasing fleshes out the well-drawn characters and enhances Macbride's lovely little comic touches.

Macbride does it again!

Great story

Enjoyed this book. The story is very good and Stuart MacBride is such a good writer. I really like the characters.
Narrator Steve Worsley is good, although I find with his Aberdeen accent some of the characters sound very similar and yet he is very good at the English accents. However, I was delighted when he was back to narrating in these books, as I totally missed the previous two books that the Writer narrated. I bought the audible book 'Blind Eye' and tried to listen to it and eventually had to stop as I found Stuart MacBride's narration far too quick and he seemed to bark out all of the speaking parts until I could no longer listen. Hence the reason I missed the full story Blind Eye and the book after, obviously missing some of character storylines along the way. I do love his books and just hope he sticks to the writing in future.

I am so looking forward to the next Logan McCrae installment audible book I have just purchased.

Good Story
