THE CHILLING AND COMPULSIVE NEW NOVEL FROM THE NO. 1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR.

'We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell.'

It's been seventeen months since the Bloodsmith butchered his first victim and Operation Maypole is still no nearer catching him. The media is whipping up a storm, the top brass are demanding results, but the investigation is sinking fast.

Now isn't the time to get distracted with other cases, but Detective Sergeant Lucy McVeigh doesn't have much choice. When Benedict Strachan was just eleven, he hunted down and killed a homeless man. No one's ever figured out why Benedict did it, but now, after sixteen years, he's back on the streets again - battered, frightened, convinced a shadowy 'They' are out to get him, and begging Lucy for help.

It sounds like paranoia, but what if he's right? What if he really is caught up in something bigger and darker than Lucy's ever dealt with before? What if the Bloodsmith isn't the only monster out there? And what's going to happen when Lucy goes after them?

Praise for Stuart MacBride:

'A brutal, visceral read, laced with the blackest of humour and travelling to some very dark places' Guardian

'A magnetic mix of creepy places, dark humour, horror and violence' Sun

Reseñas de la Crítica

Wow. What a ride! MacBride has always possessed the ability to pull you into dark, gritty tales - served up with a large dollop of great characterisation and a side of dry humour. NO LESS THE DEVIL is no exception to that but, take my word for it, it is EXCEPTIONAL in one other major way. Hold on to your pants because you will NOT see it coming. A must read. Crime fiction that slaps you around the chops and demands that you sit up and take notice.

Stuart MacBride is an automatic must-read for me... always fast, hard, authentic - and different.

'A clever, disturbing story about a police officer with a terrible past and a hunt for a serial killer. As always, he writes with energy and colour'

There can be no question that MacBride is one of this country's finest crime writers.

Strange and disconnected

To strange for me and difficult to follow. The did not feel gripped by the story at all. No McBride best I must say.

Lowered Expectations

Wasn’t my favorite content but kept listening hoping it would get better but it did not 😔

One of the best narrators around

If you’re listening to a book set in Scotland it has to be narrated in a true Scottish voice. Cathleen McCarron nails it. The twist in the storyline is a bit hard to take at first but by the end it works well and will hopefully be the first of many with these characters.

Started strong but…

I did not care for the direction that this story took. That does not mean it isn’t a well written book or even a clever story. It simply wasn’t to my taste. If you were looking for something by this author, that is slightly different from his other books, this might be for you. The characters were engaging as usual. I simply found it a bit ridiculous

A narrator can make or break a audio

I gave up after two hours. I could no longer stand the narrator turning every sentence into a breathy, OMG, something is happening suspenseful statement. It was just hideous. I’m so disappointed as I have thoroughly enjoyed MacBrides previous books and was looking forward to another thriller. Please bring back Steve Worsley or Ian Hanmore.
