Close to the Bone (Logan McRae, Book 8)

De: Stuart MacBride

Narrado por: Steve Worsley

The eighth Logan McRae novel in the No.1 bestselling crime series from Stuart MacBride.

Every murder tells a story. But not every victim tells the truth.

‘A terrific writer … McRae is a delight’ The Times

Sticks and stones may break your bones…

The first body is chained to a stake: strangled, and stabbed, with a burning tyre around its neck. But is this a gangland execution or something much darker?

Someone’s leaving little knots of bones on DI Logan McRae’s doorstep, but he’s got bigger concerns. Rival drug gangs are fighting over product and territory; two teenage lovers are missing; someone’s crippling Asian immigrants; and Logan’s been lumbered with an ambitious new Detective Sergeant and gained the unwelcome attention of the local crime boss.

When another body turns up, the similarities between these murders and the plot of a bestselling novel seem like more than just a coincidence. And perhaps those little knots of bones are more important than they look…

Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for Stuart MacBride:

‘MacBride is the natural heir to the late and much lamented Reginald Hill’ Andrew Taylor, SPECTATOR

‘MacBride is a damned fine writer – no one does dark and gritty like him’ Peter James

‘Fierce, unflinching and shot through with the blackest of humour; this is crime fiction of the highest order' Mark Billingham

‘Some of the grittiest crime-writing in the field’ Independent

‘Admirers of tough, modern crime novels will be in seventh heaven – or should that be hell?’ Express

‘Ferocious and funny’ Val McDermid

‘Hard-hitting prose with a bone-dry humour and characters you can genuinely believe in, Stuart MacBride’s novels are a real treat’ Simon Kernick

Love it!

Again another engrossing, funny and gripping novel. I love the narration and I love the characters. Keeps me happy.

Really good and very original

For a series about 1 police person I am really amazed how original all these stories are. They are really exciting books and I can never guess the way it will twist and turn. I’m happy the old narrator is back. He is a pro and it makes a difference.

great

love the narrator and everything else as well
cant wait for the next book getting it nw.

Entertaining

Would you listen to Close to the Bone again? Why?

Too much dialogue that respects not have any other purpose than to be funny, where cops whining over savings or officers, as their only purpose seems to be to bring the jokes.

McBride is actually good at writing such conversations. But when this continues indefinitely but will be wearing this. Ceases to function as comic relief, and gets a bit silly

What about Steve Worsley’s performance did you like?

5 stars, and more if was possible

Any additional comments?

The plot, the basic idea had all that a book of this genre needs. A bit more editing and it would have been a great book, not just OK

very good read.

I was totally blown away we I realized Samantha was still comatose. He kept you in supense the entire book.
