The tenth Logan McRae novel from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author.

Scottish crime fiction at its very best.

Some things just won’t stay buried…

When Detective Inspector Bell turns up dead in a crashed car, it’s a shock to everyone. Because Bell died two years ago. Or at least they thought he did.

Now Inspector Logan McRae has to work out where DI Bell’s been all this time – and what was so important that he felt the need to come back from the dead.

But the deeper Logan digs, the more bones he uncovers. And there are people out there who’ll kill to keep those skeletons buried…

These are so much fun to read. Sorry I get happy with such morbid stories, but the characters are beyond brilliant. The metaphors in and of themselves in everyone of these books deserve awards. Keep them coming!!

Love every Logan book

Steve Worsley performed superbly as usual. The story lagged a little bit in places but not enough to spoil it.

Chilling story

Enjoyed the fact that in this novel there’s more focus on the case(s). Less outside stress with personal lives. Lots of call backs to old characters and tie ins to a few. Less DS Steel in this one, but I’m guessing it’s by design for the readers that have been strict to the chronological order and read/listened to Steel’s “spin-off” book before this one. Recommend you do that btw. Gives you a better feel for a few of the secondary characters if you do. Sad that I only have one left till a new one comes out. But can’t hold off. On to the next one..

Definitely one of the best of the LM Series

Number eleven and I’ll say it was the best for me. Just the right amount of ‘dark’ and enough humor to complete a perfect balance.

Solid

I LOVE Logan McRae and every single character in his world, right down to Kthulu the cat. There’s something about the way MacBride puts words together that makes me feel connected to his characters in a way that few authors can. This time out we meet a sadder, harder Logan, still talking to himself and Kthulu, tentatively exploring a new relationship, working in Standards and Practices and dealing with the most evil denizens Aberdeen has to offer. Steve Worsely is outstanding as always. Hope it never ends!

Wow, I needed that

I enjoy the Logan McRae stories, especially as they’re narrated by the brilliant Steve Worsley. This one was especially suspenseful and had me guessing until the end. Tough subject matter, though, so be warned.

One of the best!

You know, it says the review is optional but then it won't let go of you until you've written 15 words. Doesn't really seem fair, does it.

Fabulous as always!

the series deals with a lot of contemporary goodwrenching issues meaning the abduction and selling of children.... not for the faint of heart but if good storyline and lots of plot twists and turns and well-read as usual

another dark book in the series

Love this series! Perfect blend of mystery, comedy, and great characters. The narrator couldn't be better - sounds like it was written for him. Can't wait for the next in the series!

Argh! Finished and I have to wait for the next one
