Now We Are Dead

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?

Great ride with Roberta Steele

Roberta Steele is the most wonderful horrible police officer in fiction. The story was quick moving and engaging - and not predictable. Steve Worsley’s performance was brilliant as always.

Roberta gets her own book!

Really good story about Roberta Steele and her new team. There are some laugh out loud funny bits. Roberta can be maddening at times but she's a good cop. I miss Logan but this is her story.

And this includes one of the best lines ever about fake news.

Excellent narration! Waiting somewhat patiently for the next book.

Read after In The Cold Dark Ground

And before Blood Road. Enjoyable spinoff. Tufty is our surrogate Logan in this book. And his time with Steele is similar to Logan’s which gives that familiarity. But it’s also how we wish Logan would be with Steele. Fun and happy some of the time. Agree with the reviews that don’t love the ending. Definitely need a heavy dose of suspended belief. Overall it’s worth the credit and of course a must-listen for fans of the LM series.

I loved the development of Steel

We are treated to non stop Rebecca Steel and her character development. I think this maybe MacBrides best story and best character. I look forward to the next RS centered novel. Great work!!!

Roberta is my Hero!

Roberta is a rough cut diamond with a Heart of Gold! Stuart MacBride, Roberta shines and you ROCK!! I can't get enough of your writing. Steve Worsley's narration is flawless. I want MORE, MORE, MORE!

Roberta

I love her. She is so funny and such an important, vivid character. She STEALS the show.

Delightful read, wicked sense of humour.

Great production beginning to end. Wonderful narration and would be hard to go wrong with the material provided. The characters are wonderful. I have read or listened to all of MacBride’s books and it is interesting to see life from Steele’s perspective. I laughed out loud and uncontrollably more times during this book ..... not sure if it is a good thing or very, very scary to share MacBride’s sense of humour. Great book can’t wait for the next installment

another good book in the series

more wrapping up of some plot lines and for once it seems like some characters are not going to continue with their train wrecks of life...
it was an interesting listen with lots of twists and turns and well read and narrated as usual

chocolate chocolate!

The best ! I love the character of Roberta Stone. She says what we all think.

Great team !

Stuart MacBride writes the stories and Steve Worsley narrates them. Worth listening to at least once a year.
